The history of the Sheikah and the Gerudo goes back to ancient times, before the conflicting power of Gannondorf and the peace-restoring powers of Zelda and Link. It was during this time that the tribe of Gerudo were born...

The leader of the Sheikah's I believe must have been one of Impa's great ancestors, male or female, in my case, I believe it was male. The ancestor of Gannondorf (the first one) felt that the way of the Sheikah was not comfortable with him and he decided to confront the Sheikah leader. The results of the confrontation was disasterious, leaving the Sheikah leader with no choice but to banish Gannondorf to the desert. His emence powers were also the cause of him leaving the tribe and with this power, he 'charmed' many followers to go with him, mostly women.

Because of the lack of women, the Sheikah's struggled to thrive and slowly started to decrease in numbers. The tradition and life style of the Sheikah's are therefore under threat!

Meanwhile, Gannondorf's tribe thrived in the desert, the women of the tribe trained to become deadly warriors and master thieves. With these skills, they soon became the most feared tribe in all Hyrule, threatening the Sheikahian belief and so too the Royal Family.

As a result, Gannondorf issued a law that only his decendends must be male and are known as the 'King of the Gerudo' to insure a pure bloodline of powerful sorcerers. I believe that one of the Gerudo thieves must have stumbled upon the location/information about the Triforce of Power, a secret that I believe the Sheikah's was protecting at the time. With his armies of thieves, Gannondorf drove the Sheikah's back and claimed the power for himself, leaving two pieces in the mist. The Goddesses saw what happened, split the remaining pieces and sent them to two souls who would uphold the law... and so the Legend of the Hero of Time was born. To protect the world when an evil force rears his ugly head and unleashes his power upon the world.
