The Iga clan is actively resurrected in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, occupying buildings (and caves) in Hyrule. Unlike their Breath of the Wild counterparts, the Eiga clan are even more skilled at disguise in Tears of the Kingdom, and are determined to defeat Link this time.
I’m not saying disguise is good. In some cases, it’s outrageously bad, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction. However, some of their disguises are surprisingly good, and you might be surprised to learn that they are part of the Yiga clan.
7 discreet researcher
While it’s believable that there are researchers in the depths, Yiga’s researchers are a bit suspicious, especially after completing the Camera Works in the Depths quest. They look as if they are wandering alone in the depths in the dark.
Rather than cooperating with a crew to explore, they are scattered here and there, and tend to be near various Yiga settlements or along the paths Master Koga escapes from. Still, if you’ve been wandering the abyss for a while hoping to see another Hylian face, you might miss these logical fallacies by choosing to rush straight into the conversation. Unfortunately, you end up going headlong into battle.
6 Totally Fine Travelers
Travelers, equivalent to researchers of the depths, wander throughout Hyrule. Interestingly, if you pay close attention to these travelers, you may find that they are near-exact 1:1 copies of the genuine and superior NPCs from various regions of Hyrule.
Stealing their likeness and capitalizing on their good reputation from Link, these Yiga Clan members easily slip under the radar or at least go into hiding for a moment. Once you start talking to them, you’ll quickly discover that they’re part of the Yiga clan. Something about their disdain for Link makes their acting even worse.
Five Free Mighty Banana
This is probably the most hilarious of all the Yiga clan disguises. Part of the reason is that it’s more direct bait than “disguise”. Mighty randomly left on the ground with nothing, possibly a member of the Yiga Clan I have.
Admittedly, Eiga is notoriously obsessed with Mighty Bananas, so the bait isn’t very good (obsessed, one might even say), but the sheer urge to pick up the supplies , may end up rushing their way regardless. What’s even more interesting is that one of these bait disguise traps is set up right next to a sign warning you not to pick up anything that’s on the ground.
Can I pick it up while you’re at it? After all, you don’t want others to fall into the trap. Additionally, they can be utilized in various recipes that you will later eat when fighting the Yiga clan.
Four beckoning woman
At first, this quest seems quite harmless, but there is no chance of Eiga being involved. They may be the furthest thing from your mind.Of course, you might think the woman the beckoning woman points to is Zelda, but there’s nothing there blatant So it follows that the woman in trouble is Zelda (at least, not immediately).
However, as you gradually become overwhelmed by various challenges, that concern will gradually fade away and be replaced by frustration. The beckoning lady’s acting skills are certainly one of her best when it comes to Yiga disguises, but by the time you complete each challenge, you’ll be happy to beat them.
3 Missing Princess Zelda
Depending on how into the game you are, this disguise can be pretty convincing… well, unless you’re working on the “Dueling Peaks Potential Princess Sightings” sidequest with Penn. . That may not make much sense, but if you happen to run into a wild Zelda and wonder who she is and what’s going on, she could be hooked.
Of course, as soon as you talk to her, she shatters the illusion of trying to kill you and the trust you’ve built with her. Worse, they will make fun of you for cheating again (even if you were very aware they were members of the Yiga Clan). Nonetheless, it’s impressive that they managed to mimic Zelda perfectly in the visual department, even though their acting skills need to improve a bit more before they can be truly believable. You also have to admire her sheer audacity to impersonate a princess to kill Link.
2 Clairvoyant Cocco
It’s a disguise that might catch quite a few off guard, but it’s certainly weird enough to make you wonder if it could happen in Hyrule. After all, everything seems to be in chaos because of the cataclysm. So why not bring along the cuckoo that rings everything to tell your fortune?
Of course, just like the Beckoning Woman quest, he had to put himself through some unreasonable trials to prove he was Link, and after it was all over, Eiga fell for Clairvoyant Kokko’s schemes. as relentlessly teasing you. It shows that they thought it was silly and wouldn’t really work, but the truth is that it was such a weird and bad idea that it ended up working as intended. I mean… well, except Link doesn’t die (although that part of the plan never works).
1 no way…just kidding
There is some misconception that the Evermeans are actually members of the Ega clan. This is thanks to a member of the Eiga clan who reveals himself disguised as a tree to catch Link off guard. If you want this tidbit, put on her set of Yiga armor and head to the main hideout.
Just to be clear, Evermeans and Igatrees are two different things, but if you want to prove it to yourself, stop by the bridge leading to Kakariko Village by the Duel Peaks Stables. Across the bridge you can see his three trees with their leaves fallen and in front of them the infamous Mighty his bananas resting.
If they hadn’t put Mighty Bananas there, you wouldn’t hesitate to approach or pass them. However, Banana shows them to be local, not-so-friendly Iga foot soldiers. When in doubt, look for a bunch of Mighty Bananas.If you don’t see anything, it might beprobably Not a member of the Yiga clan. Whether the tree is dead or not, this is the best camouflage the Yiga clan has pulled off.
