Outfit


 * See Clothes for other uses.

Outfits are special articles of Clothing which empower the Links with special abilities in.

Locations and Uses
Outfits grant each Link a special ability based on the theme of the attire. Certain Outfits may bolster a Link's defensive capabilities, while others may increase the power or range of certain weapons. Outfits are obtained by making custom orders at Madame Couture's, and providing Madame Couture with Materials and Rupees collected from Levels. Rare Materials from Drablands Challenges will yield more powerful Outfits. Some Outfit Materials are exclusive to the Coliseum Multiplayer mode, as well. Certain Outfits also change the appearance of the Sword that each Link uses.

Outfits can also be used as stamps in Miiverse.

Trivia

 * Some outfits appear to be based on characters from other Nintendo games (and other non-Nintendo media).
 * The Hammerwear is based on the Hammer Bros. from the Mario series.
 * The Cozy Parka is reminiscent of the parka that the Ice Climbers wear, specifically Popo.
 * The Tri Suit appears to be loosely based on the uniforms from the Super Sentai series (otherwise known as Power Rangers in the west).
 * According to the official Japanese site, some Outfits are said to contain the souls of individuals skilled in whatever ability they grant. For example, the Spin Attack Attire contains the soul of a samurai who trained diligently to master the Spin Attack, and the Sword Suit contains the soul of a swordfighter. Both the Kokiri Clothes and the Zora Costume contain the souls of members of their tribes, the Kokiri and Zoras, respectively.
 * Crafting certain Outfits will prompt a different sound effect while Madame Couture is tailoring them, as opposed to her usual cheer. Crafting the Big Bomb Outfit produces an explosion, followed by Couture's coughing. The Tingle Tights produce the sound of balloons being blown up, then popping, and Madame exclaiming Tingle's signature "Kooloo-Limpah". The Lady's Ensemble produces the sound effect of Couture gasping.
 * The Legendary Dress was known as the Zelda Dress in the E3 2015 demo. The reason for this change is unknown.
 * Several more Outfits were planned during the game's developement. These include the Stinky Costume which would keep enemies at bay, the Kansai Outfit which would put the situation reports into the Kansai dialect of Japanese, the Emperor's New Clothes which would make Link look naked to others, the Handsome Outfit that made Link look good in photos, and a Great Fairy Outfit.
 * The Hammerwear is based on the Hammer Bros., a special type of Koopa from the Mario series, which are known for their propensity to use hammers. This is supported by the Stylish Woman's pun when she asks whether Link used a "koopon" while purchasing it.
