Talk:Twinrova

That Trivia should not be there. Twinrova is Ganondorf's *surrogate* mother. That means either they were used to bear Ganondorf because his real mother was sterile or was dead and they served as substitute. They're more like their stepmothers.

Legendary Terror
Where in "Ocarina of Time" does Navi says that thing of Twinrova being a legendary terror?

Connection Between Games
They look exactly the same, and have the same names in both Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time. What are your thoughts on the connection between the games, if you think there might be one.

Since technically meeting them in Majora's Mask takes place before you fight them in Ocarina of Time, they would be around 393 years old in Majora's Mask, if what they say in Ocarina of Time is true. It's possible that after MM took place and they've assisted Link in his quest, Ganondorf 'converted' them. Most people don't recognise Adult Link... hmm. Awkward fighting them as a boss earlier in the day and then meeting them in a potion shop later. GolemdX 02:25, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Termina is an alternate universe. The Twinrova from Termina aren't the same characters as the ones in Ocarina of Time.Ganondorfdude11 02:33, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Is it possible
Since Gerudo's are not known to use magic and are brown skinned, could it be that Koume and kotake are Zuna since they share the green skinned quality and magic. Unless gerudos turn green as they get older but thats kinda..weird to say the least

and the Zuna escaped to the Gerudo desert

Also if the Zuna truly are the Twili and with the age of those two they could have been around when their tribe were sealed into the mirror of twilight so what better way to get revenge on hyrule then to train Ganon to take it over since the Zuna were already untrusted.--Remo 06:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Ganondorf also has this pale green skin tone. My theory is that they are indeed Gerudo, but perhaps their skin tone is a mark that they have magic abilities. Whether or not they are born with this tone (which is most likely), their change in skin color maybe a part of a special ceremony indicating that they have succeeded in their trials (how else would they be so skilled?). 09:49, 29 July 2008 (EST)

wow....to be honest I didn't suspect that answer...I wouldn't count that as a good reason though since we never really hear anything about a ritual and which Ganon do you mean is green skinned? hes pretty dark to me. --Remo 19:19, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

My assumption is that they are simply green due to a genetic difference. Should the Orange Gerudos be like the Celtics and the Green Gerudos be like the germanics, they're both human (analogically speaking). Also, it is to be noted that a large part of the Gerudo's genetic makeup is influenced by Hylians, thus perhaps (a theory contradictory to the previous one) they are more purely bred Gerudo than the common Model Gerudo or Nabooru. --Stalkid 11:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Missing Koume & Kotake
I'm marking this page as needing attention, since we are missing an entire two sections that I feel shouldn't be deleted. Onen 19:30, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * This page is pretty good. If we can complete the missing sections, it'll be worthy of being featured. So I got an idea. Everyone, judge this article as if you were judging it for being a featured article. That way we can fix the problems and get the page up to code. First thing first. We need to finish those sections. They are marked as incomplete sections. 21:31, October 9, 2008 (UTC)


 * Why are those sections marked as incomplete? I tried to fix them, but I can't get rid of the incomplete tags myself unless I know the problem. Neither played a large role in Majora's Mask, and this is about all the information there is on them. Ancblue52 19:11, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Separate sections
Do we really need separate sections for each sister and their role in each game? In my opinion, it would be better to mention appearances of both in each game, since separating them will cause them to be repetitive. Listing information on one sister without the other leaves out story elements, but, if you mention both, it becomes repetitive. Ancblue52 17:09, 15 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes we need two different sections. For one thing, it makes specific links to each of them work. Second,they are not the same person. And they didn't do the exact same thing in each game. The sections will stay separate. 18:47, December 15, 2008 (UTC)


 * All right. In that case, I'll try to complete the sections as I can. Ancblue52 19:03, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The Koume and Kotake sections are practically identical when it comes to Ocarina of Time, they only start to differ when speaking of Majora's Mask. I believe that the two sections can be merged together, for the sake of the absurd Ocarina of Time redundancy, yet can go into separate paragraphs under the same section when speaking of Majora's Mask - there is nothing wrong with that. I'll do it if no one else wants to. And since we're worried about "specific links" breaking, I'll be glad to fix them myself if the case arises as well. 21:11, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Majora's Mask
I think that this sub-section needs some cleaning up. It mainly repeats information already given in Koume and Kotake's individual sub-sections. I think that either the repeat information should be deleted, leaving the Majora's Mask section, or the additional information should be merged into Koume and Kotake's individual sections. I am not sure which would be better. Thoughts? 11:43, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * There's a similar suggestion right above you, but apparently nothing was changed... I also think it sounds extremely redundant, so my opinion is this: the information of Kotake and Koume in Majora's Mask that appears in their own subsection should be added under the Appearances section of Majora's Mask (it's more elaborated than the one in under Appearances). Their own subsection (Koume and Kotake in Ocarina of Time) could be added under their corresponding game, instead of having two separate sections that pretty much repeat themselves. Eh...I'm not sure if I made any sense... Dany36 15:00, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Attention Text Dump Hoppers
There's a bit of dialogue throughout the OoX games from Koume and Kotake, even before linking the quests. The article could benefit from the mere mention of this, but more so if someone would get it all together and write up a paragraph or so from it. 07:11, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Reorganizing the article
Since the Twinrova article is so close to being featured, I decided to take a good look at it. Even though most of the supporting votes said that it was "well organized"...I found it to be the exact opposite! The redundancy thing has been a problem for some time now (see the "Separating sections" and the "Majora's Mask" section), and nothing has been done. Cip mentioned it in the featured article nomination page, and it needs to be said here as well: this article needs to be reorganized. I mean, just looking at the table of contents (THREE Ocarina of Time sections? Messy!), you can tell that this page needs major help. Any suggestions to what we could do to help improve this article are appreciated. Cip made a suggestion in February but...I'm not sure I understand it. XD So let's get ideas rolling, folks! Dany36 14:02, 18 September 2010 (EDT)
 * Ugh, this is going to be a headache... but it needs to be done. So I'm going to echo an idea of yours: Why do Koume and Kotake each get their own sections, and THEN have an appearance section? Because they appear in three games, I'm going to move that the Appearances heading takes precedence, and then Koume and Kotake can each have their own section under each game (plus a "twinrova" section under OOT. OR... this page could be "Koume and Kotake" and Twinrova (Boss) could get it's own page. Maybe that's taking it too far...). 14:19, 18 September 2010 (EDT)
 * Uh. NO! I'm greatly opposed to that. They are fairly major characters. They deserve a bit of respect. They need to have their own sections, individual sections. Having three Koume sections would look even more sloppy than anything that's claimed now. Yes they're twins, but they're still two different people. Keep the two main sections and put all the information there, possibly making another section for what they have in common. You'll get a small amount of redundancy, but it's worth it to have their own sections and it'd be less of a mess than now or what was proposed. 18:51, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ugh, this is weird. Yes, they SHOULD have their own sections, but not, "Here's Koume," and, "Here's Kotake," and then, "Here they are AGAIN, but this time, by game!" It's like... the organization makes no sense at all. We need to combine them somehow, the Appearance and Individual sections, rather than the Individual (by appearance) AND Appearances that we have now. It's SUPER redundant. I never implied they shouldn't each have their own sections... 16:20, 18 September 2010 (EDT)
 * It's just that standard procedure for reorganizations so far has almost always been to totally disregard direct linking to sections. So it was the likely outcome here. Whatever we do, directly linking has to be given just as much consideration as the actual visual appeal of the page itself. So that direct section links are proper and efficient. This is even more important as it's two characters on one page. 20:25, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, I've made a start with what I think is the structure we should be using (organised by game). I've removed some of the redundant info and sandwiched the rest together; the OoT section still needs a rewrite, and the overall thing needs cleaning up, but I think it's getting there. 17:24, 29 September 2010 (EDT)
 * No takers for finishing this off, then? Or opinions on whether this is the right way to go about it? 07:58, 7 October 2010 (EDT)

Twinrova's Headband Featuring TWW Hylian?
Well, I simply don't see it. Both on her in-game model and in OoT's artwork, Twinrova's headband looks like it has the same Hylian as the rest of the game.--Jarsh 21:57, 26 September 2010 (EDT)


 * Well, look at this piece of artwork. For Kotake, "Ko" and "Ta" are clearly written in the WW alphabet, with the mystery letter being a katakana "Ke"(ケ). Similarly, "Ko" and "Me" are wriiten in WW for Koume, with the middle letter being the katakana "U"(ウ). Compare that to this and this and it's obvious that it is at least partially written in the WW alphabet.


 * I looked and compared it to Omniglot's Hylian syllaberies. Yeah, it does seem to be partially TWW Hylian. Very interesting. OoX was in development when TWW was, so it makes some sense, but I suppose that doesn't really explain why they're there for OoT.--Jarsh 23:12, 9 October 2010 (EDT)
