*Toadpolis also bear an appearance and similar attacks as [[River Zora|Zoras]] in the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. They also share some physical similarities to the [[Deku Toad]].
*Both the name and anatomy of Toadpolis seem to imply they're still in a stage of metamorphosis, which may explain their physical similarities with the Deku Toad.
