Description
The lowest-ranked members of the Yiga Clan. They've been dispatched all across Hyrule with a single task: seek out Link and end his life. They're a crafty bunch, sometimes disguising themselves as simple travelers or villagers to get the jump on you. Be wary of suspicious people you encounter. They're very agile and carry a bow and a one-handed sword.

Yiga Footsoldiers are members of the Yiga Clan who follow their leader, Master Kohga.[1] 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.[2] They will sometimes attempt to entice Link by selling Mighty Bananas,[3] 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 Letters. These letters parallel the nine Sheikah letters preceding some of Monk Maz Koshia's attacks. While infiltrating their hideout, Yiga Blademasters 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 Rupees.
