Koume and Kotake are characters from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. In the parallel world of Termina they are friendly characters, as opposed to being antagonists in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
[edit] Biography
They reside in the Southern Swamp, operating the Magic Hags' Potion Shop and Old Koume's Boat Cruise at the Swamp Tourist Center. They use special mushrooms to make their potions. At one point, Link finds Koume immobilized after an attack by the Skull Kid in the Woods of Mystery. He is given a bottle full of Red Potion from Kotake to help her. This revives her energy and she goes back to her job as the manager of the Swamp Boat Cruise.
Kotake will only sell potions to Link in human form, although she dismisses his other forms in a polite and apologizing way, as opposed to the man from the Curiosity Shop.
[edit] Etymology
The word "Koume" is a type of Japanese pickled plum. The word "Kotake" is a type of Japanese mushroom.
