Biography

Link giving Agitha a bug.

Agitha is a little girl of about 10 years old[2] who lives in her castle in the Hyrule Castle Town. She pretends to be a princess of the insect kingdom living in her own little castle house. She sent out invitations to the Golden Bugs to come to her ball. There are twelve types of bugs, each having a male and female for 24 bugs total. She believes that they have each gotten lost on their way, so Link must find all 24 bugs for her. For each bug Link gives her, she gives him 50 Rupees. For each time he makes a pair, she gives him 100 Rupees. When Link gives her the first bug, she gives him the Big Wallet. After taking all 24 bugs to Agitha, Link receives the Giant Wallet. If Link leaves her castle when he still has Golden Bugs to give her, she will whisper "I know you have bugs..." accompanied by a low growl.

Although she is a bit delusional, she is very kind and caring. She is one of the few characters that is not afraid of Wolf Link, but rather, she asks if he would like to play with her, because she thinks he is a puppy; she apologizes for not being able to speak puppy, indicating she thinks that Wolf Link wants to tell her something. Sometimes she can be found outside the southern gates of Hyrule Castle Town during the daytime before Link has brought her all 24 bugs; she states she is looking for bugs in the flowers. This is the only time she carries her trademark parasol and basket. If Link speaks to her around sunset when she is walking back to the city, she says she is heading home and if Link wants to talk to her, he should come visit her at her posh castle.

Hyrule Warriors

Template:Sectstub Agitha is a playable Warrior in Hyrule Warriors. She fights primarily by summoning swarms of Golden Butterflies and giant Golden Beetles with her Parasol weapon to aid her in battle.[3]

In Legend Mode, Agitha first appears in the Twilight Field Scenario, "Land of Twilight". She is cornered by the Dark Forces Bulblins, but is shortly saved by Lana. She decides to aid the Hyrulean Forces to find the land's Gate of Souls by having her Goddess Butterfly lead the way. It is however captured by Midna (Whom Agitha refers to as "Miss Kitty"), who then uses it to locate Cia.[4] The Hyrulean Forces manage to defeat her however and retrieve the Goddess Butterfly. Agitha accompanies the Hyrulean Forces as they combat Zant in the Palace of Twilight, and later Cia and her Dark Forces.

Agitha is unlocked as a playable character through Adventure Mode. She is occasionally also fought as an enemy Warrior in certain Adventure Mode stages, or sometimes in the form of "Dark Agitha". She occasionally drops the Agitha's Basket Material when defeated, and rarely the Agitha's Pendant Material.

Trivia

  • If Link wears the Zora Armor the first time he meets Agitha, she will think he is a Jewel Beetle.
  • Agitha's clothes are of the lolita fashion style, which is a popular style in Japan and fans of Japanese culture. Her style is a mix of classic and sweet with a bug motif.
  • Agitha's Japanese name, Template:Japanese, is likely based on the Japanese name for the Swallowtail Butterfly, Template:Japanese. Agitha may be based on the Agatha genus of snails.
  • Agitha's French name, Machaon, appears to be based on the binomial name for the Old World Swallowtail, Papilio machaon.
  • Agitha's Italian name, Xenia, is likely based on the meaning of the English name Agatha, both meaning good or generosity. Xenia is also the outdated name for the Ethmia genus of moths.
  • In Hyrule Warriors Agitha claims to have learned how to pick locks from termites.
