Age of Calamity: Outfits?

There is one part about yesterday's stream that we haven't talked about yet and that's the possibility to change your fighter's "attire". In the showcase they went trough a small collection for Link, which consisted entirely out of familiar armor pieces from Breath of the Wild, like the Snowquill Trousers, Soldier's Armor or the Zora Helm.

That is another thing that Koei Tecmo has taken directly from the source material and it's certainly a lot more versatile than the different costumes in Hyrule Warriors, because you can change your clothes for the legs, torso and head individually. You can even remove everything, if you want to play as Link in his underwear...

And that raises a certain question... Can you undress the ladies? Will you be able to change the attire of other fighters as well and how will this look like? Obviously, they can't just use the same armor pieces from Breath of the Wild for everyone else.

Well, in case of Zelda we have already seen her in three different outfits – her Champion attire, the white Goddess dress and the ceremonial outfit. And there is at least one more outfit that needs to be there, her cute winter clothes from The Champions' Ballad:

Whether all of these will actually be an option for the playable Zelda or not remains to be seen. For some missions it might even make canonical sense for her to wear a certain piece, e.g. the white dress during the final missions. But it certainly would be nice to be able to choose this before side quest missions and so on.

As for Impa, she could have the Sheikah stealth set as an alternative. But with both ladies you probably shouldn't expect the option to fully remove their clothes and play in underwear. Well, it's with all certainty something that Koei Tecmo would do (The Legend of Zelda: Xtreme Beach Volleyball, when?), but it's also probably something that Nintendo wouldn't approve, even though it's totally sexist that it's okay for Link to fight in his underwear, but not for Zelda. But we'll see about that.

As for the four Champions, in the least they do get the Champion cloth / scarf as an option. In the beginning of the game they naturally don't have those yet as part of their outfits and you will probably be able to turn it on and off in the same way as Link's armor. Urbosa certainly will also have the option to wear the Thunder Helmet or not...

They could also do some more creative stuff, e.g. Nabooru's outfit for Urbosa. Speaking of, similar to how Link got the amiibo armor pieces that made him look like a previous incarnation, e.g. the Link from Ocarina of Time, there could be similar sets for both Zelda and Impa.

So, there are many possibilities here and it will be interesting to see more of this feature in the near future.
