out of the castle to keep her away from Ganondorf hands in ocarina of time the sheikah were the original founders of Kakariko village a settlement that has appeared throughout many games with the series though they were hardly seen living within it the village of them being inhabited by hylians and other races with the exception of breath of the wild with a chica had a more prominent role the sheikah passed down legends an important knowledge throughout the ages after being the keepers of important secrets of Hyrule such legends include the prophecy of the hero of time and his quest to awaken the sages from each other five temples of the kingdom the legend of the seeker realm and the trifles within which explained how the Triforce was split into three pieces if one with an

The Legend of the messenger of the heavens which foretold the arrival of an individual to whom the would bestow the sky book which held the key to reaching the celestial sky city of the oka in passing carnation during birth of the wild will also inform the hero of a legend that will recall the events that took place more than 10,000 years prior were an ancient hero wielding the sword a seal the

dissolve into particles of light this is seen both in Skyward Sword with Impa after fulfilling highest task of protecting her mortal incarnation and in birth of the wild after the sheikah monks bestow link with a spirit all upon completing their respective shrines the she can breath of the wild share a writing script that came to be known as a sheikah language which can be found on many of the creations such as the ancient shrines sheikah towers and the sheikah slaves they also share a symbol that is found all across Hyrule such as on gossip stones and sheikah stones the less of truth the mask of truth howling stones and the entrance to the shadow temple among many others this symbol came in the form of an eye with three triangular lashes often associated with the three pieces other trifles and a single teardrop at the bottom which represented the tribes willingness to go to any length despite how ethical or moral it may be variations of this symbol have been seen throughout the series though still keeping its core characteristics the most interesting of these variations can be found in scouts horn the first of these variations is seen in a sealed door upon first reaching the sealed grounds which has largest rolls a smaller teardrop and a filled-in pupil the young Impa who comes from the distant past thousands of years before the events of Skyward Sword burst another iteration of the symbol on her forehead with much smaller swirls a much smaller teardrop and three ovals in place of triangle it is my belief that these symbols are actually the evolution of the sheikah eye symbol throughout the early stages of both the land and the sheikah the one on impasse 4 had been the earliest known design and the one found on the seal door being the design prior to the modern sheikah high with the Triforce pieces being added after an ethereal becoming longer as if it were falling over time a similar ominous scent of the sheikah I symbol can also be seen in grave in the timeshift stones cutter acosta linear region which may imply that ashika were the creators of all the technology of linear room including the ancient robots which will be a parallel to how they once were a highly advanced civilization later in harus history during the era of the wild another obscure sheikah I symbol can be seen several Twilight objects and structures such as a few shadow and a Twilight throne which may link the sheikah to the ancient into locals who have vanished from high road to the Trinette realm after their attempt to claim the triforce for roll the sheikah fought a may wars that took place in hyrule such as a hyrulean civil war which often was the reason for their dwindling numbers during ocarina of time the sheikah were practically absent with the exception of Impa sold as caretaker will come to awaken as one of the sages of hyrule taking on the role of the sage of shadows while under the protection of empath the Ganondorf takeover princess Sola took on the guise of chic a member of the sheikah tribe in order to both hide from Ganondorf and aid the hero of time his journey the sheikah made a most subtle return into the princess although not directly stated in game to be ashika in pass the old woman found in a hidden village which was the original Kakariko village from ocarina of time is implied to be ashika due to sharing the name of the founder of the village Impa as well as having the characteristic red chica eyes another possible member of the sheikah tribe doon year of twilight is madame fauna dee the fortune teller of hyrule castle town who also possessed red eyes as well as the sheikah eye symbol on her forehead the sheikah became a highly advanced civilization in a distant future being the creators of the divine beasts the guardians the towers and shrines as well as all the other technology in the kingdom this technology was primarily used to combat calamity Ganon and aid the chosen here on the princess in singing away at the ancient demon the ancient king at the time fearing the sheikah would turn on the kingdom and use this technology against them outlawed the technology and mushy Khedive added into two factions first there was a peaceful faction who took residence in a tranquil Kakariko village taking on a modest way of life which in itself was divided into two types of sheikah on the one hand who had the typical sheikah who will mainly be chat aya with red and blue decorations who kept to a simple way of life as farmers on paint and on the other hand we had warrior sheikah who mostly serve the royal family in a martial capacity as guards and escorts as well as assisting in investigations of the ancient relics and who wore mainly blue attire with white bandages and brown metal gondolas shoulder blades and shin guards then there was a militant faction who fled to the Garuda province and later became the jjigae clan who swore their allegiance to Ganon and continued to work from the shadows only this time working against the very kingdom the ones protected the jjigae wore red attire instead of the traditional blue garments of the sheikah setting themselves apart from the more peaceful counterparts and covered their faces with white masks the had the clan symbol the sheikah eye symbol but flipped upside down a blasphemous mockery of their past the jjigae also possessed black her despite the sheikah usually having white her showing how the many thousands of years had said the two factions apart leading to diversity within their own race 1000 years later when signs of the return of calamity Ganon were present a prophecy foretold that the answer to defeating calamity Ganon was buried beneath the ground this led the royal family and the sheikah to begin escalations across the kingdom which led to the scurry of the divine beasts and the ancient guardians sheikah researchers such as Puran Robby studied the ancient relics and brought them back to working order to use them against calamity gonna be following the footsteps of their distant answers for skilled warriors of each other for races of the kingdom were chosen as champions to pilot the divine beasts all
