History

Blades of the Yiga memory

After the Calamity struck, the people of Hyrule blamed and rejected the Sheikah for their technological advances, forcing them into exile. The Yiga Clan branched off from the Sheikah Tribe out of hatred for the ones who cast them aside, and swore allegiance to Calamity Ganon.[5] Shortly before the events of Breath of the Wild, Master Kohga orders the Yiga to steal the Thunder Helm from Riju to prevent her from getting close to the Divine Beast Vah Naboris.[6][7] He does this in order to assist Calamity Ganon and prevent Naboris from stopping Ganon's return. The Yiga Clan kept the powers the Sheikah are gifted with, while the Sheikah left behind their powers and technological prowess to live out normal lives.

In Link's seventh Recovered Memory, "Blades of the Yiga", Princess Zelda is attacked by a group of Yiga Footsoldiers at Kara Kara Bazaar.
