 *They have always been very few, since Kakariko Village was much smaller before Impa opened it to common people.
-From this hints, it may be concluded that this race was created by the Royal Family, just to serve them. Although they are intelligent, think and act for themselves, they are extremely loyal to the crown. The fact that they tend to disappear after wars could mean that they are never needed during peace. Only Impa is needed, to look after the Princess. It's also significant that a person can transform into a Sheikah, as does Zelda. Another hint, this coming from TWW, is that Gossip Stones are considered a property of the Royal Family. If it's assumed that in OoT the Gossip Stones are a creation of the Sheikahs, the only possible answer for them to be a property of the king is that Sheikahs themselves are belong to the Royal Family.

-Not many Sheikah are known. In fact, strictly speaking, there's only one Sheikah in the game. This Sheikah is Zelda's nanny, Impa. Sheik can also be identified as a Sheikah, even though she's Zelda. From speculation it can also be concluded that the [[Composer Brothers]], the Skulltula family and the man who could see truth.

 From what is told about them, Sheikahs seem to be mainly warriors. They swore allegiance to the King of Hyrule, and disappeared slowly once the war finished. As a Gossip Stone says, it is said that they have died out.
-They possibly were the protectors of the [[Royal Family]] during the civil Hyrulean War, as their connection with the royal family is really strong. They have also served as attendants for the royalty since ancient times.

 Although they were the founders of [[Kakariko Village]] but, since [[Impa]] opened it to common people, they haven't been seen there anymore (except for Impa). Why Impa opened the village to non-Sheikah people, is not known, but it might be because they had all died out.

-Not much is known about the Sheikahs. They are sometimes called the "shadow folk". The Sheikahs are nothing more than a legend for most [[Hylian|Hylians]]. They might be a dark version of Hylians, since they're called the shadows of Hylians. This Hylians' "dark side" seems to have different powers. They're extremely agile and fast, and seem to be always prepared for war. They can also disappear by blinding the enemy with a magic that may well be a normal [[Deku Nut]] or something else.

 Another Sheikah function is to protect the royal [[Graveyard|graveyard]], to watch over the spirits. It's also possible that they keep the graveyard even after death.
-[[Image:Sheikah_symbol.jpg|left]] Sheikahs symbol is an eye with three triangles above it and a big tear. The meaning of this symbol is rather confusing although it can be interpreted that the eye is a symbol of truth, an adjective many times asociated to the shadow folk. The three triangles may symbolize the sacred [[Triforce]], that they protect. It might also have a relationship with the triangle-shaped make-up Impa wear below her eyes. The meaning of the tear is much more obscure. Another possible interpreation is that it symbolizes the [[Lens of Truth]]

-It's also curious how fast do the Hylians identify someone as a Sheikah, even though (from what we know) there are no objective differences. This happens when Zelda and Impa escape from the [[Hyrule Castle Town]], some of the people identify the woman with Zelda as a Sheikah.

 ===The Skulltula family===
-This strange family used to be fabulously rich.They were so rich that they were known even in [[Zora's Domain]]. But this family was cursed because of their greed, being converted into spiders. The only way to retorn them to original was to kill all 100 [[Skulltula|Golden Skulltulas]].

 Although there is no reason that suggests that this family was from the Sheikah tribe, from the context, it's very possible, since they lived in Kakariko Village ages ago, when it had not been opened to common people yet.

 [[Image:Sun's_song.jpg|left]] The [[Sun's Song]] is the only known song that has been created by a Sheikah (excluding the warp songs). This song was originally two different songs--one to summon the sun, the other to summon the moon--but both Royal Composers came to the same conclusion just before death (presumably ordered by Ganondorf). This was the latest Sheikah invention. As a signal of the loyalty of the Sheikahs to the Royal Family, the song was handwritten on the royal tombstone.
-The power of this song doesn't seem to be from the Sheikah folk, but to come from the mystic powers of the Royal Family.  Apart from its main function, changing the day into night and all the way round, it can also destroy the power of darkness, freezing the lurkers of the darkness, the [[Redead]]s.
