Playable characters can wear differently-colored outfits or skins, called alternate costumes, or color changes. These are usually recolors of a character's appearance, intended to distinguish between players using the same character. Like all other characters, Link can wear different alternate costumes. His alternate costumes are based on the Kokiri Tunic, Goron Tunic, and Zora Tunic. He also has a lavender Tunic, which does not have an inspiration from the main series.

Clothing, also known as Clothes, are recurring Items and Objects in The Legend of 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.
