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

 * 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.
 * According to the game's 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.
