TWW Link's clothes

[Reign and Kisiro]

Alright, while reading over some old threads here at ZU for the nostalgia, it's come to my attention that many people think the clothes Link wears in The Wind Weaker befre getting the Hero's Clothes are his pyjamas. Um...why?

It'd make much more sense for them to be his normal clothes, wouldn't it? If they were meant to be his pyjamas, I somehow doubt he'd have them on while he's outside. I'm also confused about why'd he go on a journey across a post-cataclysmic ocean in his PJs. (That is, in the Second Quest.)

So, could someone please answer why people think they're his pyjamas, and not his normal clothes, because I can't find any in-game quote or anything stating they're pyjamas.

[Son Of Mido]

...come to think of it, that is a good point. I shall go back and see if I can pull any evidence for the Pajamas...

If I lived on a soft green tropical island inhabited by only four or five people, my pajamas might be my regular clothes. I know I would never wear shoes.

Exactly.

For all we know, people in the Great Sea sleep in their clothes.
If they were his PJ's, I'd see nothing wrong with it.

[Dark Link]

Well, in the beginning of the game, you see him sleeping in that garb. Most people sleep in pajamas. One would logically assume that those clothes are his pajamas.

[Margar]

most people don't get all comfied-up in their jammies to go sleep on top of a lookout tower with seaguls, though

It doesn't mater to me what they are, and actually, the idea of our little hero saving the world in his jammies is quite cute

[Adam_148]

in the first quest he is wearing the Hero's clothes, which everyone can see, in second quest he is wearing the hero's new clothes, which can't be seen by anyone but the pure of heart, so he wears his clothes over his PJs

[Hylian Princess]

Where did Adam_148 get THAT? I think you're thinking of the Master Sword, which can only be USED by the pure of heart. I think they look like pajamas. If you're going to wear a tunic, you usually wear leggings, not pants. But why does it really matter?

I've seen more than one picture of Aryll with skulls on her dress. Why skulls? In the game, her dress has flowers.
That's the kidn of pajamas-or-clothes detail I don't really care about.

[Verrick]

It says in the guide that they are pajamas. Nintendo has called them pajamas. IGN calls them pajamas. They are pajamas.

But Link's grandmother does mention something like that when you put them on, maybe it was that only honest people could see them. I don't really remember. Either way it's telling us that Link isn't perfect, which is very reassuring.

play PH, there is an elaborate side-quest in which the hero's new clothes have to be traded, only one person can see 'em

Pwnd!

[Hylian Princess]

Thanks for clarifying that, everyone who did!
I've never finished Wind Waker (got bored of finding the Triforce and got TP) and I haven't gotten very far in PH, so that's why I didn't know.

Arthur Dent does it in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy :p

Personally though I think they are his clothes, although it doesn't really matter. I used to have this discussion with my sister quite a lot.

Adam_149 - good point, I'd never actually made the connection before but that definitely makes sense

[Eternal Legend]

Does noticing Link wearing pyjamas make any difference?

I mean, it's just clothes right?

[Adam_148]

aryll's clothes in second quest are the same as the clothes she wears at the end of the first quest

[NintendoTogepi]

Doesn't Medli say "Wow, you really are wearing crayfish pajamas"?

Anyway, pajamas or not, they're nice and I liked the second quest.

TP should have let you wear Link's starting outfit for the second quest.

TP link in the hero's new clothes, so he's wearing his normal link clothes, you just can't see them, because TP Link is not honest enough

[ginger17]

Well wasn't he sleeping in the beggining of the game or am I getting confused? Also he was wearing the hero's clothes in the second quest, he just couldn't see them because he wasn't honest.

That brings up strange questions

1. Link is not honest for some reason
2. Medli is also not honest
3. TINGLE is honest...

I think that might be due to Tingle's obsession with fairies, and that's what makes him honest, but how is he honest if he has enslaved his two brothers and kidnapped a third person and forced them into a uniform.
As for Medli and Link, well, nobody's perfect

Also Tetra is honest; when you first meet her she says something along the lines of "What's with that get-up? Well, whatever...", suggesting that she can see the Hero's Clothing. Unless she just doesn't like his crayfish top.

But I guess she is really Zelda, who probably is an honest person.

EDIT:

Perhaps Link can see them but you, the player, can not.
Now if Link didn't realise only he can see them, and took off all his other clothes it could be somewhat amusing...

She's honest, she just doesn't know she is, which is kind of disconcerting

I think she says something about him wearing an outfit with a crayfish on it. I can't remember exactly.

Tetra is referring to the hero's clothing, I think she says it in the first quest.

Also, Link cannot see them, even his Grandma refers to this "what's wrong Link, can't you see them?".

The player also doesn't see them...UNTIL he beats the game, in the final ending sequences after you leave Hyrule and beat the game, Link is wearing his clothing
