Kotta
Kotta is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2]
Biography
Breath of the Wild
Kotta is a Gerudo Soldier who can be found in the Barracks in Gerudo Town. She carries a Gerudo Spear.
The first time Link speaks to Kotta, she expresses disbelief that the Thunder Helm was stolen.[3] Before she can continue, she is interrupted by Liana, who yells at her for speaking of their problems to outsiders.[4] Upset that she is in trouble again, Kotta blames Link.[5]
After Link has started the "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" Main Quest, Kotta is afraid she will have to go searching on a Sand Seal again, as she gets sick while riding them.[6] If Link approaches Liana, he will hear her asking Leena and Kotta if they have seen Barta.[7] Leena reveals that Barta told them two days ago that she was going to investigate the Yiga Clan Hideout, and she has not returned since then.[8] Liana is afraid that Teake will make them run 100 laps around the Gerudo Desert once she hears that they lost Barta.[9] Kotta asks what they should do about this,[10] to which Liana snaps that she is thinking about it.[11]
Once Divine Beast Vah Naboris has been calmed, Link can return to the Barracks to find that Kotta is anxious about Barta being in trouble again.[12] When he approaches Liana, she will be shocked to hear that Barta has yet again failed to return to Gerudo Town.[13] Kotta explains that she went to investigate the Gerudo Great Skeleton in the southwest of the Gerudo Desert.[14] Leena reminds Liana that a Molduga lives in that area, so she did not think Barta would even approach.[15] Kotta agrees, adding on that the Heat in that part of the Desert would make it difficult for Barta to last with their gear.[16] This only angers Liana further, as she believes they let Barta walk into a dangerous situation.[17] She resigns herself to the fact that Barta, Leena, and Kotta are never going to change.[18] Afterwards, "The Search for Barta" Side Quest will begin.
When Link speaks to Kotta while the Side Quest is active, she shares a rumor about a fairy living in the Gerudo Great Skeleton.[19] She thought Barta would be interested in this, but since a Molduga lives in the area, she never thought she would actually investigate it alone.[20]
Once Barta has returned to the Barracks, Kotta notes that she seems to feel guilty about the mess she caused.[21] However, she is jealous that someone who is all over the place like Barta is still popular with men.[22]

I can't believe the Thunder Helm was stolen...

Hey, Kotta! Stop blabbing to outsiders about our problems!
— Liana (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
*sigh* I'm in trouble again... Th-this is all your fault, you know!
— Kotta (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I'll have to go out with a sand seal and search again, but... Ugh... It makes me feel so sick to surf around with one.
— Kotta (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Hey, I haven't seen Barta. Where's she gone off to?
— Liana (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
She said she was going to scout the thieves' hideout, but then she left before we could say anything. Now that I think about it, she's been gone for two days. I wonder what happened to her...
— Leena (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Uuugghhh. As if we aren't busy enough searching for the chief's heirloom, now we have to find Barta too... If the captain hears about this fiasco, she'll punish us for sure! Probably 100 laps around the Gerudo Desert...again.
— Liana (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Oh... Oh, no. What should we do?
— Kotta (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I'm thinking about it!
— Liana (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Ahhh... What do I do... Poor Barta is in trouble again...
— Kotta (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Whuh... Whah...
— Liana (Breath of the Wild)
WHAAAAT?!
Barta didn't come back AGAIN? - ↑
I'm afraid this time she went to investigate the leviathan bones in the southwest...
— Kotta (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
But... Everyone knows that area is the domain of the Molduga, so who would figure she'd even go close to there?
— Leena (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Yes, nobody would dare! And not only that, but it's an extremely hot zone, so we wouldn't last long there in our gear...
— Kotta (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
You... You IDIOTS! That scatterbrain wouldn't even realize she was walking into danger! I mean, you know that, right?!
— Liana (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Ugh... I guess Barta will be Barta, and you all aren't going to change.
— Liana (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I guess I can't sit on this any longer... There's a rumor that a fairy lives in the leviathan bones southwest of town...
— Kotta (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
I thought it was something that Barta might be interested in... But that area is also known as the home of the Molduga... Going there alone would be unthinkable...
— Kotta (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Well, it looks like Barta at least feels bad about what happened this time... What a mess, though.
— Kotta (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
And you know the worst part? Even a vai like Barta, who's all over the place, is popular with the voe. I don't get it.
— Kotta (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Bring it on!

What are you doing?!

You looking to fight?!
