An article of clothing worn by [[Link]] in every one of his games.  There are many different forms of tunic that Link can don in games, even the ability to change in-game to open new abilities with each new garb.
 
== NES Games ==
In the original games for the NES, Link mainly wore one form of clothing, the green tunic.
 
== A Link to the Past ==
 
The first appearance of changing tunics came with the SNES game [[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]].  In the game, Link once again started out in green, but found more garb as he moved through the game.
 
=== Green Jerkin (Tunic) ===
 
The official name for the clothes Link wears in the game is called the Green Jerkin, but has the similar appearance to a Tunic.  The first piece of clothing does just that, it keeps Link clothed throughout the game.  No special abilities come with the Jerkin.
 
=== Blue Mail ===
 
The Blue Tunic is hidden in the Ice Palace in the Dark World and is Link's second tunic.  When Link wears this, the damage taken by enemies is reduced by 1/4.
 
=== Red Mail ===
 
This is Link's final tunic in A Link to the Past and best armor in the game.  It is found in Turtle Rock in the depths of the Dark World.  When this tunic is worn, it reduces damage taken by ½, making the final battles a bit easier.
 
== Link's Awakening DX ==
 
In Link's Awakening DX, the Game Boy Color version of [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]], Link dons three tunics in the game as well, if he can beat the special hidden Color Dungeon, located in the graveyard.
 
=== Green Tunic ===
 
Link once again wears the original green to start the game.  The tunic once again has no special abilities, except to keep the hero clothed.
 
=== Red Tunic ===
 
The red tunic increases Link's sword power considerably.  It is one of the two tunics Link can find in the Color Dungeon.  Link can only wear one tunic at a time and must beat the dungeon again to change colors.
 
=== Blue Tunic ===
 
The blue tunic increases Link's defensive power considerably.  It is one of the two tunics Link can find in the Color Dungeon.  Link can only wear one tunic at a time and must beat the dungeon again to change colors.

=== Kokiri Tunic ===
=== Kokiri Tunic ===


The '''Kokiri Tunic''' is the clothing worn by [[Link]] at the beginning of most of the games (there are exceptions). It is a simple leaf-green tunic that enables no special abilities but is known to be the clothes worn by the original [[Hero of Time]]. In [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]] this tunic is worn by boys as a tradition when they come of age, one of the few ceremonies left by the Hero of Time.

In [[Ocarina of Time]], the tunic helps resist the damage caused by extreme heat. It is the essential uniform when exploring the [[Death Mountain Crater]], an otherwise deadly habitat. It can be bought by [[Link]] at the [[Goron]] Shop for 200 rupees, or, more sensibly, be received as a gift from [[Darunia]]'s son, who is named after you.

In the deluxe version of [[Link's Awakening]], a red tunic (along with a blue one) can be found under a specific gravestone. This version of the tunic increases Link's sword power considerably.


This tunic is similar to the [[Red Mail]] in "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past."

Line 24: Line 57:
In [[Ocarina of Time]], the tunic allows the wearer (Link) to breath underwater, an obviously useful feature. Used in conjunction with the [[Iron Boots]], the tunic renders large undersea areas accessable and traversable, albeit at slow speed. It can be bought by Link at the [[Zora Shop]] for 300 [[rupees]], or it can be given to him by [[King Zora]] when Link helps him to thaw.

== Majora's Mask ==
 
In Majora's Mask, child Link from Ocarina of Time goes to Termina in his Kokiri Tunic.  This game does not include the ability to switch tunics, but rather switch personas.
 
== The Oracle Duo ==
 
In the Oracle games, Link also only dons the Green Tunic throughout his adventure.
 
== Four Sword games ==
 
In [[The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword|Four Sword]], as well as [[The Legend of Zelda: Four Sword Adventures|Four Sword Adventures]] Link splits into four equal personas due to the Four Sword.  Doing so allows Link to sport his traditional Green Tunic, as well as a Red, Blue, and Purple Tunic.  The colors in the game help players determine which Link they are controlling, rather than give Link an ability.  It is the only game to feature Link in a Purple Tunic.
 
==The Wind Waker==
 
You will receive this nifty pair of clothes very early on in your adventure (in [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]). They were especially made for you by your Grandma for your birthday. They were also designed and suited to look like the Hero of Time and fortunately they fit Link perfectly. Very warm though, but as Link wears these many people will become to realize a feeling of nostagia and deceptiveness and actually mistake him for the Hero of Time.
 
==The Minish Cap==
 
Link in the [[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]] once again travels [[Hyrule]] in the Green Tunic.  However, at the beginning of the game, Link doesn't sport his tradtional green hat.  It isn't until he meets [[Ezlo]] that he wears the cap.  At the end of the game, Ezlo gives Link a hat as a going away gift saying that the cap suits him well.
