==''Age of Calamity''==
==''Age of Calamity''==
The Footsoldiers in ''Age of Calamity'' are considered base enemy troops who first appear during [[Urbosa, the Gerudo Chief]] scenario. They are considerably more numerous than in ''Breath of the Wild'', but are noticeably weaker in comparison. They share the same moveset as in the parent game, though they are more passive.

==''Tears of the Kingdom''==
Just like the [[Yiga Blademaster]], they will randomly teleport to [[Link (Breath of the Wild)|Link]] after he defeats [[Master Kohga]] in the Depths at the [[Abandoned Hebra Mine]] (before then, they merely disguised themselves as travelers). As with other [[Yiga Clan]] members, they have a strange love for [[Mighty Bananas]]. They either carry a [[Duplex Bow]]or a decayed [[Eightfold Blade]]. They teleport around, and each time they shoot their Duplex Bow at [[Link (Tears of the Kingdom)|Link]]. A good strategy is to dodge the arrows and then get hits on them before they teleport away, or, alternatively, landing a direct hit to their head will cause them to be stunned temporarily, if they aren't defeated straight away by the shot.
The Yiga Footsoldiers will often disguise themselves as travelers in order to ambush Link. A good way to avoid them is to refrain from talking to suspicious travelers on the sides of roads. There are eight separate Footsoldiers who remain static, each of whom can be found in two locations. One top of that, there exists a few who will walk around in random locations to fool Link. One way to distinguish if a traveler is a Yiga Footsoldier in disguise is to walk up to them and look above their head. If a name does not appear, there is a good chance it is a Yiga Footsoldier, however as all people who have not been spoken to before have no name, this can be somewhat unreliable. Once they are talked to, no matter what option you pick, they will attack you. The Footsoldiers are shown to be gaunt but fit males by default, but while disguised, they can effectively show themselves as women too. It's not known whether there are women in their ranks.
Yiga Footsoldiers are often encountered in the Depths, both disguised as travellers and undisguised at various Yiga outposts that directly correspond with Stables on the surface. There they will be found piloting various Zonai vehicles with either one or more maintaining a glowing red sigil. Once those Yiga are defeated, a Yiga prayer slip holding a storehouse locked will disappear, allowing Link to enter inside to collect a [[Large Crystallized Charge]] and a [[Yiga Schematic]], providing a new [[Autobuild]] blueprint. In the Korok Grove, a trail of [[Mighty Bananas]] left on the ground will lead Link to the Korok Colosseum, where Yiga Footsoldiers, rather than attack Link directly, will unleash a [[Black Hinox]] upon him before disappearing from the arena. They also fight alongside [[Master Kohga]] at the [[Abandoned Lanayru Mine]].
On the surface, they will also often either disguise as trees or hide out of sight until Link comes in contact with [[Mighty Bananas]] that they have left out as bait, at which point three of them will attempt to defeat Link at the same time. A series of sidequests relating to the Lucky Clover Gazette will see Link having to fight them multiple times, as they will disguise as travellers, as Zelda, and even at one point as a talking Cucco to repeatedly lure Link into a trap.
As with Yiga Blademasters, defeating them in certain ways, such as with an incomplete [[Flurry Rush]] or through burning, will result in them leaving with their weapon, meaning it cannot be obtained as loot. It's assumed that Yiga Footsoldiers don't die once defeated, but rather, teleport away to flee. However, shooting them with arrows fused with [[Ancient Blade]]s effectively vaporizes them, implying that they indeed die if this weapon is used against them. Upon defeat, they drop, [[Rupee]]s, [[Sundelion]]s, and [[Mighty Bananas]].
Yiga Footsoldiers cannot be disarmed using [[Perfect Guard]]s regardless of the [[Shield Guard]] of the particular shield used. As such, they have to be slain to obtain their weapons.
