In the future, [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] disguises herself by dressing as [[Sheik]], a male Sheikah, and appears often in order to guide Link throughout his journey. She teaches Link the [[Ocarina of Time Songs#Warp Songs|six warp songs]], in addition to revealing some of [[Hyrule]]'s history.

==''Twilight Princess''==

The Sheikah are mentioned in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', and two Sheikah do appear: [[Impaz]], a descendant of an incarnation of [[Impa]], and [[Fanadi]], a fortune teller who resides in [[Hyrule Castle Town]]. It is revealed that the Sheikah once acted as mediators between the Hyrulean Royal Family and the [[Oocca]], a tribe of [[Cucco]]-like, sky dwellers.

==''Skyward Sword''==

The recurring Sheikah make yet another appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|Skyward Sword]]''. Impa is the only Sheikah that makes an appearance in ''Skyward Sword''. She is a tall, slender woman with a tan complexion and blonde hair. Her attire consists of navy, yellow and orange colors, as well as a Sheikah symbol on the abdominal portion of her clothing. Link first encounters her when he ventures into [[Eldin Volcano]], and she assists him by creating a bridge for him to cross. In addition to that, she also informs him that Zelda is ahead. The second time Link encounters her, she acts somewhat brash. She tells Link that he was too late to save Zelda, and she begins to question why the [[Hylia|Goddess]] even chose him in the first place. As she guides Zelda into the light with her, it becomes evident that Impa is alleged Servant of the Goddess.

==''Breath of the Wild''==

The Sheikah Tribe dwell primarily in [[Kakariko Village (Breath of the Wild)|Kakariko Village]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''. Impa resides here also, living with her granddaughter, [[Paya]], in the biggest house in the village, with guards outside. Unlike previous installments, which featured only one or two Sheikah, if any, the Sheikah here are seen as a large, thriving race. 21 regular Sheikah can be encountered, as well as 144 [[Sheikah Monk]]s. Sheikah are easily distinguishable by beige, red and navy blue clothes, as well as head-mounted umbrellas, both of which may only be worn Sheikah, and no-one else, including [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]].{{Ref|''The folks in Kakariko Village have really amazing clothes that let them work out in the rain with no problem. Amazing! But only the Sheikah people can wear 'em, so they won't sell us any...'' - '''Sagessa'''}}{{Ref|''Look at you, out in the rain with no umbrella! I'd lend you mine, but it's actually a special umbrella... Only members of the Sheikah tribe are permitted to use it. Sorry... Please mind you don't catch a cold, OK?'' - '''Mellie'''}} For the first time, Sheikah are met who don't belong to the Sheikah Tribe. They are the hundreds of Yiga Clansmen who unwaveringly wage war upon all other Hyruleans, including Sheikah Tribesmen, in the name of Calamity Ganon.
