Other Appearances
Super Smash Bros.
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.
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Both Link and Young Link can wear the Kokiri, Goron, and Zora tunics, as well as a white and a black tunic.
SoulCalibur II
Link's choice of tunics only starts off with the Green and Red Tunic. To obtain the Blue Tunic, the player must buy it in the Castor Shop for 21,000 Gold, found in the Extra Chapter 1 of the Weapon Master mode. Only after buying the Blue Tunic can the player buy the Blue Ring Tunic from the original The Legend of Zelda, which is sold for the same price as the Blue Tunic.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Link can wear the Kokiri, Goron, and Zora tunics, as well as a white and a golden tunic. He can also wear black clothing resembling the Dark Interlopers from Twilight Princess. Toon Link can wear green, red, blue, and violet tunics resembling the Links. He can also wear a tunic resembling the Dark Interlopers, and one resembling Link from The Legend of Zelda, even changing his hair to a brownish color.
Hyrule Warriors
In Hyrule Warriors, playable Warriors can wear different skins called Costumes. These are usually recolors of their existing outfit, although some Costumes feature entirely new outfits. Costumes can be unlocked through Adventure Mode. Some Costumes are only available by purchasing DLC packs.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
Link can wear the Kokiri, Goron, Zora, violet, golden, and Dark Interloper tunics, as well as a tunic resembling his Skyloft clothes from Skyward Sword, and a tunic resembling the Fierce Deity Link. Toon Link can wear green, red, blue, violet, and lavender tunics, as well as the previous tunics resembling Link from The Legend of Zelda and the Dark Interlopers. He can also wear a tunic that resembles pre-release artwork of Link from The Wind Waker, with brown sleeves instead of green.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Half of Link's outfits are based on the Champion's Tunic and the other are based on the Tunic of the Wild.
