Yiga Clan: Difference between revisions

10,000 years before the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', there was a major split in the Sheikah when the King forbade their technology due to being plagued with thoughts of betrayal. Some adhered to the Royal Family's wishes, burying the [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardians]] and [[Divine Beast]]s and going to live as humble farmers in [[Kakariko Village (Breath of the Wild)|Kakariko Village]], while some of them defected from the Sheikah, and became a militant faction. They swore their allegiance to [[Calamity Ganon]], the very monster the Sheikah were supposed to oppose. Just over 100 years ago, when the Second [[Great Calamity]] was inevitable, the militant Sheikah came out of hiding and they have attempted and failed to slay Princess Zelda when she was alone due to her constantly avoiding Link, whose successes made her initially believe to be a reminder of her own failures, which was a turning point in improving their relationship. [[Master Kohga]], the latest member of the family which had led them for at least four generations, named them the Yiga Clan and had them hunt Link and Zelda. Later, they stole the [[Thunder Helm]] and an [[Ancient Orb]] from the [[Gerudo]]. Later still, Link set out to reclaim what was stolen in order to enter [[Vah Naboris]] and to reveal the [[Kihiro Moh Shrine]].
