Zamazenta may be based on {{wp|King Arthur}}'s shield, known as {{wp|Excalibur#Arthur's other weapons|Wynebgwrthucher}} or Pridwen. It may also be based on the {{wp|Knights of the Round Table}}, characters under Arthur's order said to work with him to protect the British kingdom. Its relationship with Zacian may reference the relationship between King Arthur and his sister {{wp|Morgan le Fay}}. It otherwise resembles a {{wp|wolf}}, an animal once native to {{wp|Great Britain}} and an important heraldic symbol for noble families during the {{wp|Middle Ages}}. It also resembles the {{wp|Iron Wolf (character)|Iron Wolf}} of ancient {{wp|Lithuanian mythology}}. The armored plating on Zamazenta is similar to that of a {{wp|barding}}, a form of body armor worn by warhorses during the {{wp|Late Middle Ages}}. | Zamazenta may be based on {{wp|King Arthur}}'s shield, known as {{wp|Excalibur#Arthur's other weapons|Wynebgwrthucher}} or Pridwen.

The story of Zacian and Zamazenta retreating to the Slumbering Weald to recover from their wounds, and their return in the present day to save Galar, parallels the legend of {{wp|King Arthur's messianic return}}. | The story of Zacian and Zamazenta retreating to the Slumbering Weald to recover from their wounds, and their return in the present day to save Galar, parallels the legend of {{wp|King Arthur's messianic return}}. |
