Given that the Sages in ''A Link Between Worlds'' generally seem to relate to their ''Ocarina of Time'' counterparts, fans have assumed that Irene is a descendant – or at least a reference to – [[Nabooru]], the [[Gerudo]] Sage of Spirit.

Irene's family is versed in magic and witchcraft, as were the Gerudo sisters [[Twinrova]]. Irene does not share the Gerudo phenotype (namely, dark skin, amber eyes, and red hair) but this could be the result of extensive miscegenation between the [[Zelda Timeline|Era of the Hero of Time]] and the events of {{ALBW}}. Further, Irene is held captive in a desert dungeon, much like Nabooru. This may constitute a deliberate reference, if nothing more.
