*Impa is the name of the Sheikah Tribe's head family. As it turns out, this family is much older than the Royal Family it would come to serve. When all the Humans were sent to the skies, the Sheikah remained as a surface tribe with Skyward Sword's young Impa being from that period. It wasn't until thousands of years later that the Human incarnation of Hylia would be born on Skyloft. | |||
