The non-Hylian civilizations of Hyrule not only survived, but survived with their local systems of government and infrastructure intact despite losing control of (and now constantly threatened by) the [[Divine Beast]]s four of them once commanded. Their main settlements—[[Zora's Domain]], [[Gerudo Town]], [[Goron City]], [[Rito Village]] and the Sheikah's [[Kakariko Village]]—all continue to thrive under their own local systems. | The non-Hylian civilizations of Hyrule not only survived, but survived with their local systems of government and infrastructure intact despite losing control of (and now constantly threatened by) the [[Divine Beast]]s four of them once commanded.

While the elder [[Impa]] still lives there, the other surviving Sheikah elders [[Purah]] and [[Robbie]] intentionally scattered to the [[Hateno Ancient Tech Lab]] and [[Akkala Ancient Tech Lab]] on the remote edges of Hyrule, so that even if the rest of Sheikah civilization were to be annihilated in the meantime, at least one of the elders might survive long enough to finally awaken [[Link]] at the [[Shrine of Resurrection]] on the [[Great Plateau]] 100 years after the calamity. But the greatest fragmentation of the Sheikah came after a significant portion of their people defected to serve Ganon during the calamity and became the [[Yiga Clan]], with their secret [[Yiga Clan Hideout]] tucked away in the [[Gerudo Highlands]]. | ||
