The witches Twinrova-Koume and Kotake-are easily among the most flamboyant personalities in the Zelda franchise. When the hags aren't trying to revive Ganon they're possessing Gerudo women's bodies and inserting them into a heavy suit of armor or arguing with each other over who's older. In short, they're very entertaining and fighting them is a pleasure as well.
Of course the hallmark battle is Ocarina of Time's clever elemental duel wherein Link must use the Mirror Shield to absorb the energy of one sister and reflect at the other. It was a rare bout where defense rather than offense was key and a mini puzzle within itself. Although the encounter isn't nearly as great in the Oracles due to the technical limitations of the GBC hardware, it's certainly up there with the best of 8-bit.
Koume and Kotake also make an appearance in Majora's Mask's alternate world-Termina-where they are benign. Koume is the guide for Swamp Boat Tour whereas Kotake is the owner of the Magic Hags' Potion Shop.
What are your thoughts on Twinrova as a character? Would you like to see the ungodly duo return in a future installment? If so, should Koume and Kotake once more assume a boss battle position or merely a side role as in Majora's Mask? If not, what is your argument against such a development?
Personally, I'd love to see Twinrova star in a prominent franchise role as a boss in a future installment. Given Ganondorf's demise on all three branches of the timeline, her appearance would provide a logical explanation for his revival. The Mirror Shield not necessarily be used either given Nintendo's propensity to create new creative arsenal for Link to toy with on the fly although it is a favorite of mine.
