Trivia

 * Zink stickers can be seen on the trucks in Inkopolis Plaza before a Splatfest begins and during the event.
 * Zink's Japanese name, "Aironikku", is just the English word "ironic". It is unknown what this has to do with the brand itself.
 * The Zink brand is heavily featured on the Splash Screen, with White Seahorses, a purple shoebox, and a banner, all displaying the Zink logo.
 * The Zink brand is possibly based on the Australian clothing brand Quiksilver, as both are named after elements on the periodic table (zinc and mercury respectively, the latter of which is often called quicksilver). Zink clothing also provides "quick" stat boosts (as in Quicksilver) and features a vaguely similar logo, furthering the similarities.
