Want a shirt in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom to match the Archaic Legwear at the beginning? The Archaic Tunic is the matching gear and indeed, you can find it up on the Sky Island tutorial if you know where to look, as it's much more well-hidden than the legwear was, and will require you to go to an optional area that's very easily missed. While there'll be other clothes and armor in the journey ahead, we can understand if you'd rather not have Link running around topless in the first hours of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. With that in mind, here's how to find the shirt in TOTK, technically called the Archaic Tunic. Or, if you want to deal with cold weather in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, check the attached page on how to find the cold-resistant Archaic Greaves to replace your Legwear!

You'll find Link's shirt, his Archaic Tunic, in the Pit Cave nearby the In-Isa Shrine in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. While facing away from the shrine's entrance, turn right and head down the stone steps you'll see after a few paces. Two aggressive constructs will be blocking your path, battling a pair of Chuchus, so defeat all the enemies before carrying on down the next set of steps. After fighting the last few constructs, you'll notice a dark cave right ahead of you. Enter the Pit Cave, fight off the bat-like Keese creatures, and in the far left corner you'll find a chest with the Archaic Tunic locked inside.

The Archaic Tunic can be picked up either before or after your visit to the shrine, where you'll receive the second of four Lights of Blessing needed to open the Temple of Time to reunite with Zelda. This temple also grants you the use of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Fuse, a handy skill that lets you beef up your weapons by merging them with found or scavenged items. It's the second of Link's Zelda Tears of the Kingdom abilities you'll unlock in the Sky Island, and there are plenty of things to use it on in the Pit Cave if you so wish.

You can find Link's trousers, called Archaic Legwear, after the third dive you take from your starting point in the Room of Awakening. 

After making the first two dives in the cave, you'll come to a markedly steeper one as you make your way to the cave's exit. After landing safely in the water, you should see a gleaming chest near the left-hand edge of the pond. Swim to the ledge, climb out, and open the chest. You'll now have the Archaic Legwear in your inventory, and can equip them when the game prompts you to.
