In almost all of the Zelda games, Link is usually just a regular person living in a village so he usually wears a village outfit which is paler than any of his other outfits.

In all the Zelda games, Link's main outfit is a green tunic and a green elf-like cap. This outfit is inspired by the character Peter Pan and this outfit does not have any powers either but it's mostly loved as its what Link is known for. The outfit doesn't develop as much as Link himself, it stays the same, the only differences about Link is his age (depending on what game and what console) and his hair colour (sometimes brown or blonde). His sword changes more in "[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]"

Throughout all the Zelda games, there are many outfits that Link can wear to help him get through his journey.

Starter Outfit

Link in his Ordonian clothes, with a goat, from Twilight Princess.

In games including The Wind Waker, Twilight Princess and 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 there are exceptions; such as Spirit Tracks, where 15 stamps in Niko's Stamp Book allows Link to revert to his Engineer's Clothes.

Classic Green Outfit

See also: Green Tunic, Green Jerkin, Kokiri Tunic, Hero's Clothes, Recruit Uniform, Knight's Uniform, and Set of the Wild

In the majority of the Zelda games, Link's main outfit is a green tunic and a green elf-like cap inspired by the character Peter Pan. As the standard outfit, it typically does not convey special powers or abilities.

Increased Defence

The Magic Armor from Twilight Princess
See also: Blue Ring, Blue Mail, Red Ring (The Legend of Zelda), Red Mail, and Magic Armor

In The Legend of Zelda, A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening DX & its Switch remake, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages and A Link Between Worlds; Link's blue outfit represents an increase in resilience - that is, the same hit from the same enemy will deal less damage. In several of those games, a red outfit represents a further improvement.

The Magic Armor of Twilight Princess is a special case - while this red and gold outfit completely protects Link from damage, it does so at the cost of Rupees, both as a constant drain and as a payment for every hit. Consequently, it can only be used sparingly.

The Great Fairies of Breath of the Wild can increase the defence of most outfits available to Link, at a cost of rupees and materials - although some outfits, such as the Soldier's Set, can be raised to a higher defence rating than others.

Increased Attack

Some outfits in Breath of the Wild, such as the Ancient Set, provide increased attack against a certain type of enemy, typically as part of a Set Bonus.

In Tri Force Heroes and Breath of the Wild, Link's clothing options have increased exponentially.

Many of these other outfits provide specialist effects in areas other than simple damage or attack power.
