The reason Zelda gets the Bunny Hood is because its a reference to the Ocarina Of Time manga, where she is seen wearing it while playing with Link as children.

Disappointed there isn't a Girahim-colored Fi or a Fi-colored Girahim.

If another Breath of the Wild costume gets added, I think the Old Man for the king would be obvious.

I appreciate you zooming in on Zelda's bu- _I mean_ Sheikah slate

Y'know, I'm honestly disappointed that there are no alternate costumes for Marin, Toon Zelda, Ravio, and Yuga

I really wish Link's Hyrule Warriors costume made it into Smash at some point, it looks so cool

The King doesn't have an orange and yellow costume referencing King Harkinian from the Zelda CDi games?! Shame on them!

24:27 seems like you might have missed one interpretation - much like the skull kid, cia yearns for companionship (skull kid wants friends, cia wants link), was manipulated by a darker power (skull kid - the mask, cia - ganondorf) and ends up more sympathetic in the end.

(17:36) “Zelda is pretending to be a Sheikah by dressing up in Impa’s exact clothes and calling herself Sheik Oh no, I’ve gone cross-eyed”

So... Fi has a white & gold costume AND a blue & black costume. Coincidence?

The Gold and Silver colored Fi at 19:40 could also be referencing the Gilded Sword from Majora's Mask. She IS a sword, after all.

24:26 also cia is being manipulated and controlled troughout the entire game just like skull kid is being controlled and manipulated by majora so having cia be manipulated again just by majora this time around is pretty fitting

14:37 that is clearly referencing Pepsi man bro.

22:54 It's because in the Manga Young Link and Young Zelda are playing with masks and Young Zelda is wearing the bunny hood

I was kinda sad Toon Link doesn’t have a Linebeck alt, but I think it makes sense for the king to have it since both him and Linebeck fill the role of Toon Link’s ocean companion

My only surprise here is that Link didn't get a Lorule costume... I mean, he's the simplest choice as he just needs Ravio's color scheme with the black hair and black and/or blue scarf, (a scarf that only this Link has). P.S. I think it's just Lazy Ravio doesn't come with or has an unlockable "Hoodless (or Hatless)" costume...

9:36 *sigh* nobody remembers Vaati

Guy 1: "Alright, we need some new skins everyone any ideas?" Guy 2: "reskins." Guy 3: "something that is a reference to their game?" Guy 4: "just put some random Masks on them that make no sense, like the Stone mask on Fi or something." Guy 1:"............ THAT'S GENIUS!"

I figured the reason Volga wears the Giant's Mask was because he can transform into a giant dragon

Skull Kid's a pineapple and Zant's a banana. Funny how my two favorite characters have fruit-themed costumes.

who else needs Vaati in Hyrule Warriors, I JUST NEED THIS HOT WIND MAGE IN HYRULE WARRIORS PLEASE

I think the reason for Volga wearing the Giants Mask is a reference to Volvagia because he is its Incarnation and how he went from a giant dragon to become a human sized Demi-Dragon

23:41 This skin makes me so happy lmaooo, it’s such a cute reference

"This Outset Island Shirt is a reference of the Outset Island Shirt that Link wears on Outset Island in The Wind Waker" Haha xD

25:39 I would also like to add that it's a kind of fitting costume considering that the first time Marin and Link meet she is immediately mistaken for Zelda - just to throw that nod in there.

"Just stuck doing the Tingle stuff" - An accurate summary of my life

14:23 Shes colored after the Master Sword, that she literally resides inside.

I think Zelda’s pale blue and white costume is a reference to Spirit Zelda from Spirit Tracks, rather than the Phantoms from the same game.

I really like the outfits that has full changes to the outfits rather than the color swaps.

Link's yellow costume is more likely a reference to when Link uses the Great Fairy Tears in Twilight Princess than a reference to Pipit.

Linkle is adorable

Kinda disappointed there no extra costumes for Marin, Phantom Zelda, Medli, Ravio, and Yuga.

Hey everyone. This video is the full costumes explained series in one video, for your viewing convenience. If you've already seen the 9 part series in their individual videos, then there's really very little changed here, and you don't have to watch it again unless you just like hearing my voice for nearly 40 minutes straight, you weirdo

The yellow outfit for Link in the Twilight Princess map is most likely when Link drinks fairy tears and his tunic turns yellow, giving the attack boost rather than Pippit from Skyward sword

I already made a comment about Zelda wearing the bunny mask. But it's a reference of the Legend of zelda Ocarina of time manga. You could see her young version wearing it when she wanted to spend time with link as a normal girl. (also link didn't knew it was her until they met again.)

I would say that the stone mask in Fi could be a reference to the sword in the stone (aka. Excalibur)

I like to think of Fi’s costumes as references to various fairies. Like the three spirits from the DS games, her pail blue and white skin is Navi, her white and gold skin is Tatl, and her purple black and red skin is Tael

Wow, long video with one ad. Bless you GamesBrained.

I think Sheik's Hyrule Fields Master Mode costume is ACTUALLY a reference to Vaati from Four Swords/Minish Cap (since Link got a purple alt to round out his Four Swords cast alongside red and blue)

It's too bad Vaati never made it in this game along with Byrne.

1:29 "And I also like that it includes *_-ZELDA'S BOOTY FROM BREATH OF THE WILD-_* the sheikah slate right there at her waist."

Zelda probably has the bunny hood because (spoilers) in the ocarina of time manga when she is disguised as a kid wears the bunny hood when link and her are running around town together

7:24 Personally I think Midna's outfit makes her look like Veran from Oracle of Ages

Just want to thank you for making amazing detailed videos like this one! No one else has, so I’m so glad you did! This is awesome!

Damn you’ve given me lots of art inspiration with this video, thank you!!!! It’s been slowly coming back to me and I’m glad to have learned about these costumes while also being inspired to draw more :D

17:50 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who's experienced that visual bug with Twilight Princess Zelda's costume. There are black bits on her armour where there should be none.

yes! finally! been binge watching all of your hyrule warriors videos (thank you so much for the guides), been waiting for a video that explains the origings of ALL the costumes.

I love that dance Lana does

26:37 I thought he was going to say who lives in a castle under the sea?

i ALWAYS come back to watch this video, something so cool and fun about it!

Hahaha, I just watched all of these yesterday! Thanks for uploading, this is a much nicer way to watch.

Fantastic work!! Thanks for making these awesome HW videos

Cia, just like the Skull Kid, were both used by powers greater than they could control. In Cia's case, she was manipulated by Ganondorf, in Skull Kid's case, he was manipulated by Majora's Mask. Both were discarded when they weren't of any use to their hosts anymore. That's the reason Cia has the Majora's Mask costume.

I never played hyrule warriors. I’m now going to because I finally see how much love they gave to the other games in the series. This is godlike.

When Alfonso is away, Young Link takes over the train! Young Link: HUP HYEAH (Leave it to me!)

I think Zelda wears the Bunny Hood because she wore it when she played with Link as a child in the Ocarina of Time 1 manga

It is I Ainz Ooal Gown! 24:41

5:26 That's my favorite alt because if I kinda zone out I can pretend that I'm playing as Terra Branford.

This must of taken forever to do thankyou this was truly informative and entertaining..

1:28 I also like that they included her a- shieka slate

27:23 even with no blue tunic the red one on Young Link makes a lot of sense due to giving the player more strength like the fierce deity mask does (in a god like way).

Weird Peach Strikes Back!

Fantastic video! Thank you so much

Fun fact: linkle was originally envisioned as links sister. though this concept was dropped, she still has a costume referencing another sister of link.

5:00 it could be a reference to the grandma in wind waker.

A few things I'd like to say. 35:00 I'd like to personally believe linkle's outfit is supposed to resemble the thief girl from link between worlds. Here are a few costumes they should have added. 1: mipha for ruta BOTW 2: daruk for darunia BOTW 3: Hilda for Zelda LBW 4: king rhoam Bospheromous BOTW 5: toon shiek for tetra 6: maskless skull kid 7: ravio hoodless 8: rusl outfit for link TP 9: hero of shade outfit for link TP 10: light midna for midna TP And finally. It would have been cool to be able to have a custom fighter. Custom appearance and weapon type, that we could send into battle. It would have been cool sending in custom characters to fight alongside link.

Sweet what a birthdaygift thanks man keep the good work up

Midna wears the Ordon Shield on her face in that cutscene because that's typically how the Twili wear shields - like the different variants of beasts that guard the Portals in TP, they all have shield-like items on their faces. Zant's personal bodyguards, as seen in the cutscene depicting his march on Hyrule Castle, wear shinier upgraded versions, kinda like how the Mirror Shield upgrade works in many Zelda games.

34:50 was waiting for the bananas Didn’t come *we desire the bananas*

ZELDA IS PRETENDING TO BE A SHEIKAH BY DRESSING UP IN IMPA'S CLOTHES AND CALLING HERSELF SHEIK OH NO, I'VE GONE CROSS-EYED

You gained a subscriber because of this great video

wow. This was amazingly informative

I honestly thought the pale Zelda referencing a phantom was just toon Zelda in spirit form?

24:32 I think this is a reference to how Volga can transform into a giant dragon, around the same size as argorok, which is a giant boss

I love this video

Shane: “Midna always has very tricky and sometimes hard to see costumes....” My colorblind ass thinking she never changed: ???

Considering how many of these costumes are references to other hyrule warriors characters, I'm surprised no one here has noticed that Impa's costume is not a ref to herself, but to *Volga,* as Lana=Cia & Sheik=Wizzro. This explains the bright silvers on her armor. And to those who think I'm wrong because of the matching neon green feathers, the color is matching the eyes on Volga's helmet, not the green on Oracle Impa. Edit: I forgot to mention this, but the quest where you unlock that outfit (In the definitive version, at least) the commander of the enemy team is Volga. Coincidence, I think *not.* Edit 2.0: Now looking closer at the costume, I now see that her Hair bands turn to pink instead of orange... Since the pink doesn't really exist on Volga but matches the veil (or whatever it's called) on Oracle Impa. Either it was something to make us argue, is actually just Oracle Impa, or is just a neat color change that means nothing and she's still Volga. I don't mind being wrong, but the random Oracle reference here just seems out of place when compared to Sheik's and Lana's costume choice.

Huh. Both Super Mario Bros USA/2 and Link's Awakening take place inside a dream world. Both games have Shy Guys or Mask Mimmics. And, both games have Wart/Mammu. Interesting...

4:54 impas costume is actually a reference to nabooru from ocarina of time as if you look closely at both of them the colours match perfectly, it took me a while to figure it out I think it would have been easier if they gave her red hair too but I really like this costume overall :)

You, sir, are a madman.

Odolwa and Ganondorf are both like fallen gods, with Ganondorf being Demise and Odolwa being one of the giants- The Deku also seemed to worship Odolwa in the MM manga, while Zant probably worships Ganondorf every day after breakfast. Probably is the one who makes breakfast. Healthy dose of bananas.

I'm still on Team Banana.

Nothing was like 2014 and doing all the extra missions for customs on the og hyrule warrios. Almost forgot this feeling! Definetly when I'm a old dude i'll be getting back to these!

I've cleared every adventure mode map, with costume and weapon completion to boot. Getting a preview of costumes and weapons to come on your channel, as well as tips with certain troublesome characters (fuck Tingle) gave me the motivation and help that I needed to excel and achieve weapon completion. Thanks for everything, GamesBrained. If there's ever a Xenoblade Warriors or other Nintendo Warriors game, I'll look forward to your tips and showcases to fuel my hype once again!

31:26 ey b0ss

22:55 possible reference to the oot manga (part one) where young link wear's the bunny hood? idk

I just got this game earlier this week and beat the legend mode today. Can't wait to unlock more of these!

Fi was actually based off of the Wind Waker's Great Fairies, so that worked out pretty well. The costume is a pretty cool throwback at least.

29:58 Are you sure that's not a reference to Spirit Zelda?

Here are some ideas for what I think BotW colors would be based on: Link - Hylian Outfit (want to find a different one for him tho) Impa - BotW Impa Sheik - Yiga Lana - Great Fairy Tera Zelda - Regal Zelda dress Ganondorf - Calamity Ganon Darunia - Daruk Ruto - Mipha Agitha - Beedle Midna - Unactivated Ancient Tech Zant - Guardian Fi - Goddess Statue Ghirahim - Evil Statue Cia - Great Fairy Mija Volga - Dinraal Wizzro - Blizzrobe Twili Midna - Activated Ancient Tech Young Link - Tunic of the Wild Linkle - Hylian Outfit Skull Kid - Korok King Daphnes - King Rhoam Medli - Revali If anyone has ideas for the rest plz tell me cause idk

First time i see ont of your videos, and im impresed by the amount of info, also, that's a banana.

Yes. I need this.

It's so unfair that they released definitive edition, one year after I bought all DLC I Wantedfor the WiiU edition....

I really liked this but you missed Fi's Majora's Mask pack costume.

That kamoros mask ghirihim is horrific! I LOVE IT.

Buen video, le invertiste mucho tiempo

17:02 I thought that outfit is supposed to be link after he drinks fairy tears from Twilight Princess, where he gets a goldish glow.

Looked through all the comments and everyone equates Gold Link to him in his Chu Jelly/Fairy Tear powered up form but apparently I'm the only one who immediately thought it was based off the Heroes Shade considering he wears Gold armor. It makes much more sense than rando temporary power up form.

I feel like King Wart is more of a Zelda Character than Mario character.

The yellow tunic could also be a reference to whenever drinking a special yellow potion from thre chu's in twilight princess. Getting a yellow tunic and double defense for a short period.
