Trivia

  • Kotake's headband and tabard have a stylized depiction of Japanese Katakana which has her name, コタケ (Kotake) as a pattern.
  • In Tears of the Kingdom, there is a green-skinned Gerudo that appears in the background of the Memories "The Gerudo Assault" and "A Show of Fealty" who wears blue gems. She also wears a sash which is the same design as Kotake's headband.

Nomenclature

Koume and Kotake's names are based on the twin characters of the 1949 Japanese novel The Village of Eight Graves.[3]
