Outfit
- For other Items similar to Outfits, see Clothes (Disambiguation).
Outfits are special articles of Clothing which empower the Links with special abilities in Tri Force Heroes.[1]
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. Most Outfits are obtained by making custom orders at Madame Couture's, and providing Madame Couture with Materials and Rupees collected from Levels. Initially, only seven Outfits are available for order (besides the Bear Minimum worn by Link at the onset of his adventure), with many more becoming unlocked as Link meets certain conditions; mainly, clearing Levels in the Drablands. Link can change Outfits in the Fitting Room.
When two or more Links have gathered and each has been assigned a color—green, blue, or red—some elements of their Outfits may change colors accordingly. For example, the Hero's Tunic, Kokiri Clothes and Tingle Tights are changed completely to match a Link's assigned color. Some Outfits like the Cacto Clothes and Goron Garb have small portions that change color. Others like the Legendary Dress and Linebeck's Uniform do not change color at all, making the Links' hair colors their only distinguishing feature. Certain Outfits also change the appearance of the Sword that each Link uses.[2]
Miiverse stamps for each obtained Outfit are available for use in the Miiverse Gallery.[3]
If any of the Links have joined the game via Download Play, they will be wearing the Hero's Tunic by default. Custom orders for new Outfits can be placed by speaking to Madame Couture's Apprentice inside the Multiplayer lobby.[4] However, as the Apprentice is slower at tailoring than Madame Couture herself, the Outfit will not be completed until the Links return from the next Level they visit.[5] Additionally, the Apprentice can only craft up to two Outfits for each Link,[6] and some Outfits are unavailable due to the nature of Download Play not allowing for certain unlocking conditions to be met, or certain Materials to be collected.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 This Outfit can appear in the Catalog but cannot be purchased due to the required Materials being unobtainable.
- ↑ Link's default Outfit when joining the game via Download Play.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 This Outfit appears in the Catalog but cannot be purchased due to the required Materials being unobtainable.
- ↑ This is the shortened name that appears on the information panel for each Link.
Trivia
- The total cost to to obtain all Outfits is 32,800 Rupees and 115 Materials.
- 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,[7] and the Sword Suit contains the soul of a swordfighter.[8] Both the Kokiri Clothes and the Zora Costume contain the souls of members of their tribes, the Kokiri and Zora, respectively.[9][10]
- Due to technical limitations of Download Play, 8-bit music had to be created especially for that mode.[11] Thus, the Timeless Tunic was created, so the 8-bit music could be heard at any time.[12]
- Several more Outfits were planned during the game's development. These include the Stinky Costume which would keep enemies at bay, the Kansai Outfit which would put the Status Reports into the Kansai dialect of Japanese,[13] the Emperor's New Clothes which would make Link look naked to others, the Handsome Outfit that made Link look good in photos,[14] and a Great Fairy Outfit.[15]
- Some Outfits appear to be based on characters from other Nintendo games and other non-Nintendo media:
- Hammerwear is based on the Hammer Bros. from the Mario series.[16] Its name in the French translations, Carapace Marto ("Marto Shell"), furthers this reference. Marto is a misspelling of marteau ("hammer") made to resemble the name Mario.[note 1]
- The Tri Suit appears to be loosely based on the uniforms from the Super Sentai series (otherwise known as Power Rangers in the West).
- The Queen of Hearts and Jack of Hearts Outfits are likely a reference to the Queen of Hearts and the Card Soldiers from the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
- The Cozy Parka appears to be based on Popo from Ice Climber, whose garb is strikingly similar.
- The Dapper Spinner may be a reference to the outfits worn by The Three Musketeers.
- Concept art for the Cursed Tights resembled the Blue Pikmin from the Pikmin series.

By the way, did you know? If you buy an outfit here, you can use it as a stamp in Miiverse. Try it!

If you need some new clothes, I'm at your service! I'll help you as a special favor, just...please don't tell Madame! Let's see...You're currently wearing the Hero's Tunic. Which outfit would you like to order?
— Madame Couture's Apprentice (Tri Force Heroes) - ↑
Wonderful! I'll get right on that. Remember that things like this take time. Please be patient! I'll be sure to have it finished by time you've completed your next mission. Look forward to it!
— Madame Couture's Apprentice (Tri Force Heroes) - ↑
Er, I hate to burst your bubble, but... Madame is sure to find out about this arrangement of ours if we keep this up. Sorry, but I can't risk that. Mostly because Madame is terrifying when she's angry. That said, if you want more outfits, you'll have to visit Madame Couture's shop in town. I think you need something called a "full version of the game" to go there. Whatever THAT means...
