Cottla is a character in Breath of the Wild.[4]

Biography[]

Cottla is a young Sheikah girl residing in Kakariko Village with her sister Koko and their father Dorian.[1] Cottla and her sister Koko wake up at 5:00 AM, with Cottla claiming her mother is hiding.[5]

When Link initially asks Cottla if she would like to play, she will refuse, claiming that she and her mother are already in the middle of a game.[6] She will then head up to the Ta'loh Naeg Shrine to search for the her mother.[7] By 8:00 AM, Cottla gives up and goes to meet with the rest of her family.[8] At 8:30 in the morning, Cottla will sit at the base of a Tree near a fork in the road, wondering if her other family members will come by.[9] At around 9:00 AM, Koko will join her. After Link speaks with Impa for the first time, Dorian will start to join them at this time.

While they sit together, Dorian shares stories with his children.[10][11] Dorian tells them about how one can hear a woman sobbing in the woods past the Ancient Shrine,[12] but he is actually just trying to scare them away from the woods, which have become full of Monsters.[13] However, Cottla only becomes excited by the story instead of being fearful.[14]

At 11:00 AM, Koko and Cottla will get up and go their separate ways, running through Kakariko Village as Dorian returns to work. Even in the Rain, Cottla can be found running about.[15] If Link speaks to her during this time, she will declare that she is bored and wonder when dinner will be.[16] Should he immediately say goodbye, she will be disappointed.[17]

If Link asks Cottla if she would like to play with him, she will be excited at once, causing her to ask what he would like to play.[18] For games, Link can choose between Tag or Hide-and-seek. Choosing Tag excites Cottla further and she begins to run in place.[19] Choosing Hide-and-seek makes Cottla declare that she will hide while Link seeks her.[20] Before she leaves, she lets Link know that they will have to stop the game at dinnertime.[21] Selecting a game and agreeing to play begins the "Playtime with Cottla" Side Quest.

When Link catches Cottla, she will pout.[22] However, she is excited to have had so much fun.[23] As a reward, she gives Link her secret treasure, which is Rock Salt.[24]

At around 4:30 PM, Cottla will sit at one of the tables near Impa's House, where Koko has been Cooking at a Cooking Pot.[25] While sitting, she will complain about wanting dinner.[26] Link can still ask if she would like to play, but she is too focused on dinner to want to.[27] During the "Cooking with Koko" Side Quest, Koko mentions that Cottla loves Hot Buttered Apples.[28]

7:00 PM is when both Cottla and her sister Koko head home for the night.[29] While asleep in her Bed, Cottla dreams about her parents.[30][31]
