The Red Mail - known as the '''Red Clothes''' in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|Link's Awakening DX]]'' - is an optional item available only in ''Link's Awakening DX'' and [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|''Link's Awakening'' for Nintendo Switch]], not [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Game Boy)|the original Game Boy release]].

The '''Red Tunic''' is a special tunic only in the games ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. However, the tunic has a different effect on [[Link]] in each game.
On completing the [[Color Dungeon]], Link finds himself in a room with [[Koholint Island]]'s [[Fairy Queen]], who will offer him the choice between the [[Blue Mail|blue mail]] which doubles defence, or the red mail which doubles attack{{Ref|LADX|15|Fairy Queen}}.

===A Link to the Past===
{{Main|Red Mail}}
The Red Tunic of ''A Link to the Past'', also known as the [[Red Mail]], increases Link's defensive power. It is found in [[Ganon's Tower (A Link to the Past)|Ganon's Tower]], and is the best tunic in the game, being twice as good as the [[Blue Mail]].

[[File:RedTunic_LA.png|left|''Red Tunic Sprite'']]In ''Link's Awakening'', the Red Tunic serves a completely different purpose from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. Instead of increasing Link's defense, it boosts his attack power, enabling him to do twice as much damage. It is optional, and not required to complete the game. Link can only get this tunic in the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|DX version]] of the game in the [[Color Dungeon]]. After completing the dungeon, the [[Fairy Queen]] will give Link "the power of color", with the option to have more offense or defense.{{Ref|LADX|14|Great Fairy}} The Red Tunic will grant double attack power, while the [[Blue Tunic]] gives double defense.
 
===Ocarina of Time===
{{Main|Goron Tunic}}
Link obtains the [[Goron Tunic]] from the [[Goron]] leader [[Darunia]]'s [[Link the Goron (Ocarina of Time)|Son]]. He can also purchase one from the [[Goron Shop (Ocarina of Time)|shop]] in [[Goron City]] for 300 [[Rupee]]s. This special article of clothing is heat resistant and allows Link to survive in [[Death Mountain Crater]], as well as enter the [[Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Fire Temple]].

The Red Mail - known as the Red Clothes in Link's Awakening DX - is an optional item available only in Link's Awakening DX and Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch, not the original Game Boy release. Wearing it doubles Link's offensive powers, doubling the damage dealt by Link's attacks.

On completing the Color Dungeon, Link finds himself in a room with Koholint Island's Fairy Queen, who will offer him the choice between the blue mail which doubles defence, or the red mail which doubles attack[1]. Whichever he chooses, he can return to the Fairy Queen at a later time to switch to the other option.
