List of Helms

This is a list of every piece of headwear in the Golden Sun series that the games categorize as "Helms". Mechanically, in Golden Sun and The Lost Age, they are distinguished from other armor types by which Adepts can equip them: the "warrior-style" Adepts Isaac and Garet in the first game, alongside Felix and Piers in the second game. None of these four Adepts can wear Circlets, which all four of the "caster-style" Adepts can wear; on the other hand, all eight Adepts in the GBA series can wear Hats, Crowns, and other "general" headwear.

In Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, Helms can be worn by Matthew, Tyrell, and Eoleo, the three most "warrior-like" Adepts. All Helms featured in the game return from prior installments.
