Yiga Blademaster

are recurring NaN Enemies and NaN Bosss in.

Yiga Blademasters are the elite soldiers of the Yiga Clan. They can be found patrolling the Yiga Clan Hideout, and if they spot BotW: in the hideout, they will close all doors and exits while calling in back up. After Master Kohga is defeated, they will also start appearing randomly to attack Link.

Yiga Blademasters attack with Windcleavers that send blasts of air at long distances. They can also create fissures that produce updrafts that Link can use to glide before a stone pillar emerges from them. A shot to the head with the Bow can stun Yiga Blademasters, opening them for attacks. When defeated, they flee while leaving behind their Windcleaver and Mighty Bananas. After defeating Master Kohga, Yiga Blademasters will randomly appear all around Hyrule attempting to assassinate Link.

During the Side Quest, "The Stolen Heirloom", Link must defeat a Yiga Blademaster in order to retrieve the heirloom that grants access to the Lakna Rokee Shrine.

NaN Yiga Blademasters use NaN Eightfold Longblades rather than NaN Windcleavers, and can be spoken to as characters if TotK: is wearing the TotK:.

NaN Yiga Blademasters appear in as Series: ranked enemies. They fight the same way as in, though their NaN Weak Point Gauges can be exploited with the NaN Runes. They also speak, similar to the NaN Yiga Footsoldiers, in instances such as when they are defeated in battle. After HWAoC: uses the souls of some NaN Yiga Footsoldiers to revive the four blights, HWAoC: and HWAoC: turn against him. The rest of the HWAoC: then follow suit, using the Series: to exact vengeance on HWAoC:.
