Link wearing his traditional Green Tunic

Different types of clothes are worn by Link throughout the Zelda series. For the majority of each game, Link wears the iconic Green Tunic, although he can sometimes obtain new types of clothes that grant new abilities, such as breathing underwater or decreasing the damage received from enemies. Each type of clothing has a similar style despite varying in color and name: a long shirt that reaches above the knee, having short or no sleeves.

Types of Clothes

Green Clothes

Main article: Green Clothes

The Green Clothes is the default type of clothing worn by Link throughout the majority of each of his adventures, and because of this, it has become a symbol of the hero who saved Hyrule from evil.[1][2] Unlike the other types of clothes, it does not grant the young hero any abilities. In some games, such as Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, Link wears a chain mail underneath it to further protect himself.

Defense-Enhancement Clothes

Template:Main list

First introduced in Template:LOZ as the Blue Ring and Red Ring, the Blue Mail and Red Mail increase Link's defense, cutting the damage he receives from enemies by one-fourth and one-half, respectively.[3][4]

Special Ability Clothes

Template:Main list

Certain types of clothes provide Link with special abilities. In Link's Awakening DX, the Red Clothes double the attack damage of Link's sword. The Zora Tunic and Zora Armor grants the young hero the ability to breathe underwater,[5] while the Goron Tunic permits him to resist extremely high temperatures.[6] In Twilight Princess, the Magic Armor allows Link to lose Rupees instead of Hearts when he is hit by an enemy.[7]

In Tri Force Heroes, the Links can wear various Outfits which grant them different powers and abilities depending on the Outfit worn, such as throwing large Bombs or finding Hearts more frequently. Outfits are crafted at Madame Couture's using a recipe of Materials found in Levels and a certain amount of Rupees.

Others

Template:Main list In some games, Link does not start out with his traditional Green Clothes. Games such as Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracks feature the young hero wearing clothes that are typical to his homeplace, such as the Ordonian Outfit and the Engineer's Clothes, respectively. Like the Green Clothes, these do not give Link any new abilities or an enhanced defense.

Non-canon Appearances

Super Smash Bros.

In Super Smash Bros., Link can wear the Kokiri, Goron, and Zora tunics, as well as a lavender tunic.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, both Link and Young Link can wear the Kokiri, Goron, and Zora tunics, as well as a white and a black tunic.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Link can wear the Kokiri, Goron, and Zora tunics, as well as a white and a golden tunic. Link can also wear black clothing resembling the Dark Interlopers from Twilight Princess.

Toon Link can wear green, red, blue, and violet tunics resembling the Links from Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures. Another of his alternative clothings resembles Link from The Legend of Zelda, even changing his hair to brownish color.

Link's tunics in Soulcalibur II

Soulcalibur II

In Soulcalibur II, Link's choice of tunics is similar to that of the Super Smash Bros. series; however, he only starts off with the Green and Red Tunic. To obtain the Blue Tunic, the player must buy it in the Castor Shop for 21,000 Gold, found in the Extra Chapter 1 of the Weapon Master mode. Only after buying the Blue Tunic can the player buy the Blue Ring Tunic from the original Template:LOZ, which is sold for the same price as the Blue Tunic.

Hyrule Warriors

Main article: Costume

In Hyrule Warriors, playable Warriors can wear different skins called Costumes. These are usually recolors of their existing outfit, although some Costumes feature entirely new outfits. Costumes can be unlocked through Adventure Mode. Some Costumes are only available by purchasing DLC packs.

Trivia

  • In Template:LOZ, the color of both Princess Zelda's dress and the clothing on merchants will change depending on which ring Link is wearing (if he has one; default is green). Similarly, Template:OOT has Nabooru's Second-in-Command's clothing affected by the color of Link's Tunic, but only in the Nintendo 64 and Virtual Console versions.
