Yiga Footsoldiers are members of the [[Yiga Clan]] who follow their leader, [[Master Kohga]].<ref>{{Cite|Begone, enemy of my maaaaster!|Traveler|BotW}}</ref> They are always hunting [[Link]] down, attempting to assassinate him and stop his quest to defeat [[Calamity Ganon]]. Yiga Footsoldiers can be found all over [[Hyrule]], usually appearing disguised as travelers, transforming into Yiga Footsoldiers after Link speaks to them. After defeating Master Kohga, they might also appear out of thin air to ambush Link.<ref>{{Cite|I'll send you to join Master Kohga!|Traveler|BotW}}</ref> They will sometimes attempt to entice Link by selling [[Mighty Bananas]],<ref>{{Cite|Just take a look at these fine bananas! Buy them up quick before you've missed your chance!|Traveler|BotW}}</ref> only to attack him regardless. Yiga Footsoldiers will often teleport around the area, shooting Link with a [[Duplex Bow]] and leaving themselves open to attack while aiming. If wielding either a [[Vicious Sickle]] or a [[Demon Carver]], they will teleport above Link and [[Down Thrust]] into the ground with their weapon, telegraphing the attack with a glowing red ring of nine [[Hylian Language#Sixth Hylian Script|Hylian Letters]]. These letters parallel the nine [[Sheikah Language|Sheikah letters]] preceding some of [[Monk Maz Koshia]]'s attacks. While infiltrating their [[Yiga Clan Hideout|hideout]], [[Yiga Blademaster]]s will summon Footsoldiers if Link is spotted out. When defeated, Yiga Footsoldiers will teleport away, dropping their weapon and leaving behind a random amount of Mighty Bananas and [[Rupee]]s.
{{Plural|BotW|Yiga Footsoldier}} are members of the {{Term|BotW|Yiga|link|display=Yiga Clan}} who follow their leader, {{Term|BotW|Master Kohga|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Begone, enemy of my maaaaster!|Traveler|BotW}}</ref> They are always hunting {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} down, attempting to assassinate him and stop his quest to defeat {{Term|BotW|Calamity Ganon|link}}. {{Plural|BotW|Yiga Footsoldier}} can be found in various places throughout {{Term|BotW|Hyrule}}, usually appearing disguised as travellers, revealing themselves as {{Plural|BotW|Yiga Footsoldier}} after {{Term|BotW|Link}} speaks to them.
 
After defeating Kohga, Yiga Footsoldiers might also appear out of thin air to ambush {{Term|BotW|Link}}.<ref>{{Cite|I'll send you to join Master Kohga!|Traveler|BotW}}</ref> They will sometimes attempt to entice Link by selling {{Plural|BotW|Mighty Bananas}},<ref>{{Cite|Just take a look at these fine bananas!

Yiga Footsoldiers will often teleport around the area, levitating and shooting {{Term|BotW|Link}} with a {{Term|BotW|Duplex Bow}}. If wielding either a {{Term|BotW|Vicious Sickle}} or a {{Term|BotW|Demon Carver}}, they will teleport above {{Term|BotW|Link}} and {{Term|Series|Down Thrust|link}} into the ground with their weapon, telegraphing the attack with a glowing red ring of nine {{Term|Series|Hylian Language#Sixth Hylian Script|link|display=Hylian letters}}. These letters parallel the nine {{Term|BotW|Sheikah (Language)|link|display=Sheikah letters}} preceding some of {{Term|BotW|Monk Maz Koshia|link}}'s attacks.
 
While infiltrating the {{Term|BotW|Yiga Clan Hideout}}, {{Plural|BotW|Yiga Blademaster|link}} will summon two {{Plural|BotW|Yiga Footsoldier}} if {{Term|BotW|Link}} is spotted. When defeated, {{Plural|BotW|Yiga Footsoldier}} will teleport away, dropping their weapon and leaving behind a random amount of {{Plural|BotW|Mighty Bananas}} and {{Plural|BotW|Rupee}}.

==={{TotK|-}}===
In addition to their standard tactics, Yiga Footsoldiers may drive vehicles assembled from {{Plural|TotK|Zonai Device|link}}. While these vehicles can be dangerous, they can be neutralized by knocking them over and their pilots cannot defend themselves if attacked directly. They also have improved disguises, allowing them to disguise themselves as inanimate things such as {{Plural|TotK|Tree|link}} and {{Plural|TotK|Mighty Bananas|link}} or even Princess Zelda. Unlike in ''Breath of the Wild'', they are equipped with [[Eightfold Blade]]s that have visible [[Gloom]] markings.
 
They will not be hostile to Link if he wears the Yiga Set, as they will mistake him for a Yiga Clan member.

Though Yiga Footsoldier's do not appear directly in {{SSBU}}, 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 Fighter]]s and a [[Mii Outfit]] for [[Mii Swordfighter]]s respectively. Mii Swordfighters disguised as Yiga Footsoldiers appear in [[Sheik#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Sheik]]'s and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]'s [[Classic Mode]] Routes, "[[Masquerade]]" and "[[Wisdom Prevails]]", with the latter appearance referencing the Yiga Footsoldiers' goal of assassinating Zelda in {{BotW}}.

{{Stub|HWAoC}}
{{Plural|HWAoC|Yiga Footsoldier}} retroactively debut in {{HWAoC}}, now having voice acting and are fought both in {{Term|HWAoC|Gerudo Town|link}} and the {{Term|HWAoC|Gerudo Desert|link}}, and several other scenarios. They appear as the weakest soldiers of the Yiga Clan.  Two {{Plural|HWAoC|Yiga Footsoldier}} are also seen kneeling before [[Astor]] in the {{Term|HWAoC|Lost Woods|link}}. On top of that, there is a new variant that stands at about twice the size of a regular {{Term|HWAoC|Yiga Footsoldier}}, called Yiga Captains. Each can switch between their {{Term|HWAoC|Vicious Sickle}} and {{Term|HWAoC|Duplex Bow}} at will and can sustain much more damage; they act as {{Term|Series|Captain (Hyrule Warriors)|link|display=Keep Bosses}}. Later in the game, they are sacrificed to revive the Blight Ganons [[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|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 Hylian Soldiers during "{{Term|HWAoC|The Yiga Clan Attacks!|link}}" and even slip into their old Sheikah professions to infiltrate the [[Royal Ancient Lab Ruins|Royal Ancient Lab]] in an attempt to stop [[Robbie]] and [[Purah]] from learning the full results of analyzing [[Terrako]].<ref>{{Cite|I was too careless. This is bad.|Robbie|HWAoC}}</ref>

==Trivia==
*It is possible that the {{Plural|BotW|Yiga Footsoldier}} were inspired by the {{Term|TAoL|Ache|link}} from {{TAoL}}, since they both disguise themselves as travelers or townspeople before attacking when approached by {{Term|Series|Link}}.
*Unlike most {{Plural|BotW|Enemy}} in {{BotW|-}}, {{Plural|BotW|Yiga Footsoldier}} do not die when they are defeated.
* When they teleport, {{Plural|BotW|Yiga Footsoldier}} are surrounded by nine {{Term|BotW|Hylian (Language)|link}} letters that represent the {{Wp|Kuji-in#Meanings in Ninjutsu|''Kuji-in''}}. Clockwise from the top, they are:
** R ({{Romanize|臨|Rin}} - Power).<ref name="R">{{Cite|{{Script|Hylian BotW|R}}|N/A|BotW}}</ref>
** P ({{Romanize|兵|Pyō}} - Energy)<ref>{{Cite|{{Script|Hylian BotW|P}}|N/A|BotW}}</ref>
** T ({{Romanize|闘|Tō}} - Harmony)<ref>{{Cite|{{Script|Hylian BotW|T}}|N/A|BotW}}</ref>
** S ({{Romanize|者|Sha}} - Healing)<ref>{{Cite|{{Script|Hylian BotW|S}}|N/A|BotW}}</ref>
** K ({{Romanize|皆|Kai}} - Intuition)<ref>{{Cite|{{Script|Hylian BotW|K}}|N/A|BotW}}</ref>
** J ({{Romanize|陣|Jin}} - Awareness)<ref>{{Cite|{{Script|Hylian BotW|J}}|N/A|BotW}}</ref>
** R ({{Romanize|列|Retsu}} - Dimension)<ref name="R"/>
** Z ({{Romanize|在|Zai}} - Creation)<ref name="Z">{{Cite|{{Script|Hylian BotW|Z}}|N/A|BotW}}</ref>
** Z ({{Romanize|前|Zen}} - Absolute)<ref name="Z"/>
