In games including ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', Link is first seen in "civilian" clothes, distinct from the classic becapped outfits he has traditionally been associated with. Usually, these outfits are replaced forever - initially with a version of his traditional green tunic - early in the game, but a "New Game+" of ''The Wind Waker'' allows Link to continue wearing his blue lobster shirt throughout a playthrough.
