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]]''. It will empower [[Link]] in different ways.

The Red Tunic of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', also known as the [[Red Mail]], increases Link's defensive power. It is found in [[Ganon's Tower]] and is the best mail of the game.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|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. It is not required to complete the game and is optional to acquire. 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 power or defense. The Red Tunic will grant double attack power, while the [[Blue Tunic]] gives double defense.

Link obtains the [[Goron Tunic]] from the [[Goron]] leader [[Darunia]]'s [[Link the Goron|son]]. Link can also purchase one from the [[Goron Shop|shop]] in [[Goron City]]. 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]].
