Agitha, Fanadi, and Telma: Connection?

Not to mention the many plants in her house and the insects glowing like fairies (compensation?). Oh and she's not afraight of wolf link.

I always thought it was just a Hyrule fashion statement. =/

Actually I'm starting to believe these 3 people were simple reminders of the 3 races not in TP. They could've been related to them, but there isnt any direct evidence of it. Kinda like how those 3 creepy girls outside the Star Tent remind us(or at least me) of the 3 goddesses

Is she really not afraid of wolf Link?

nope. In fact, if you talk to her as Wolf Link when she's outside(or maybe inside too, I dunno), she refers to Link as a puppy or something

I certainly think Agitha is supposed to recall the Kokiri in some fashion, but she's clearly Hylian.

Personally, I just think it's town fashion.

100% agreed

I have to question though, what would you consider direct evidence of Fanadi's racial status? I mean the game basicly throughs as many "she is a Shiekah" hints as it possibly could without giving it away: she has the red eyes, the eye of truth mark and has the ability to 'see the truth', what more evidence could you want?

I mean it's pretty obvious that at least she was intended to be a shiekah, and given that we are discussing a videogame with posesses no independently verifiable true, that's all that really matters. With Agitha, the evidence that she is a Kokiri is entierly circumstantial and I can certainly understand that there is room for debate in her case, but with Fanadi I simply don't see enough evidence that she is not a shiekah.

I actually wrote up a theory based around the idea that Fanadi is not a Sheikah. The evidence can go either way, however.

And with Agitha... what? While I can certainly see perhaps a callback to the Kokiri, she's a wealthy little girl with too much time on her hands. She plays princess and has pretend balls- while the Kokiri took childish forms in Ocarina of Time, they weren't that frivolous. If Agitha was meant to be a Kokiri, they'd be as blunt as they were with Telma and Fanadi.

Well, here's the thing. If Nintendo wanted to throw in Easter Egg's to remind us of the Sheikah, Kokiri, and Gerudo, how would they do it?
Well, to make a character resemble a Gerudo, they make it a woman, and give her red hair: Telma
To make a character resembling a Kokiri, make them a child and give them blonde hair, and make them like nature or something: Agitha
To make a character resemble a Sheikah, they would have to have features that only the Sheikah have, which is red eyes, and their symbol.

I dont know if these people are actually from those races(especially Agitha), but I do believe they were simply reminders of those races

I didn't even know you could talk to Agitha as a wolf....I gotta check that out.

Telma's also dark-skinned and wears cornrows... the only other character who wears cornrows in Twilight Princess is Ganondorf, who was born Gerudo. She looks Gerudo except for the ears. Also, red eyes aren't a specifically Sheikah trait- the Rito have red eyes, as does Vaati, who is Minish.

Zelda race nerdery strikes again!

Fanadi a Gerudo! Well thats new to me and now that i think about it ,she could classify to be Gerudo or a shiekah.

Huh? Fanadi cannot be classified as Gerudo- she has pointed ears (Gerudo have rounded ears) and pale skin (Gerudo are dark-skinned). Even Telma is just a Hylian with heavy Gerudo heritage- she has pointed ears.

Well it looks to me Ganondorf has pointy ears in TP.

Ganondorf's ears

Ganondorf's ears

And WW I believe...
Yah, I just checked

You'll also note Ganondorf can turn into a massive boar, which other Gerudo can't do, and has turned several shades darker than regular Gerudo in Twilight Princess. His ears are also not as prominent as Hylians' are. We can chalk this up to the Triforce of Power, because before he received the Triforce of Power, he was a fairly routine Gerudo. After, his physical form began to change.

Gerudo do not have pointed ears- if Telma had rounded ears, she could be considered Gerudo, but she has the long, pointed ears of a Hylian. Telma and Agitha are Hylian throwbacks to two different cultures, while Fanadi's ethnicity is up for debate.
