why does link wear a skirt while saria waers shorts?

"Because Skirts are cute?

....

"IT'S A TUNIC- OKAY?!?"

Hey! anda are right! °-° I never realized it!
I really don't know! xD

It's part of his tunic, only looks like a skirt because of the belt...

Link is wearing a tunic. Men in medieval times wore them. Link is like a knight, hence his shield, sword, his horse Epona, princess Zelda, the king, and so on.

It's a tunic. However, many people like to joke about it looking like a skirt. As for Saria... Probably just personal preferences.

Say, that's an excellent point! XD Looks like kokiri are a rather confused race... :P

Its a tunic!!! It only looks looks like a skirt cause the tali pinggang bro -3-

Because the earrings are epic and the skirt is a tunic.

link weares earrings because in some games they have uses but i have no answere for the skrit and most are probley true so i think it is because to make his enemies laugh at him then he kills like in the loz rap sejak smosh

its a tunic, and in skyward sword link wears pants and in twilight princess he wears tights [which is wierder in my opinion]
