NaN Yiga Footsoldiers can be found in various places throughout BotW:, usually appearing disguised as travellers, revealing themselves as NaN Yiga Footsoldiers after BotW: speaks to them.

Yiga Footsoldiers will often teleport around the area, levitating and shooting BotW: with a BotW:. If wielding either a BotW: or a BotW:, they will teleport above BotW: and Series: into the ground with their weapon, telegraphing the attack with a glowing red ring of nine Series:. These letters parallel the nine BotW: preceding some of BotW:'s attacks. While infiltrating the BotW:, NaN Yiga Blademasters will summon two NaN Yiga Footsoldiers if BotW: is spotted. When defeated, NaN Yiga Footsoldiers will teleport away, dropping their weapon and leaving behind a random amount of NaN Mighty Bananass and NaN Rupees.

Though Yiga Footsoldier's do not appear directly in, items resembling the attire worn by Yiga Footsoldiers known as the Yiga Clan Mask and the Yiga Clan Outfit appear as a Mii Headgear for all Mii Fighters and a Mii Outfit for Mii Swordfighters respectively. Mii Swordfighters disguised as Yiga Footsoldiers appear in Sheik's and Zelda's Classic Mode Routes, "Masquerade" and "Wisdom Prevails", with the latter appearance referencing the Yiga Footsoldiers' goal of assassinating Zelda in.

NaN Yiga Footsoldiers retroactively debut in, now having voice acting and are fought both in HWAoC: and the HWAoC:, and several other scenarios. They appear as the weakest soldiers of the Yiga Clan. Two NaN Yiga Footsoldiers are also seen kneeling before Astor in the HWAoC:. On top of that, there is a new variant that stands at about twice the size of a regular HWAoC:. Each can switch between their HWAoC: and HWAoC: at will and can sustain much more damage; they act as Series:. Later in the game, they are sacrificed to revive the Blight Ganons after they failed to kill the Champions, causing the Yiga Clan to join their former enemies to take down Astor and later, Ganon. They disguise themselves as Hylain Soldiers during "HWAoC:" and even slip into their old Shiekah professions to infiltrate the Royal Ancient Lab in an attempt to stop Robbie and Purah from learning the full results of analyzing Terrako.
