Now that we've spotted a couple of classic Hyrule tribes in Skyward Sword, Zelda Informer kicks off a revival of the Skyward Sword Speculation Series with a bit of healthy guesswork about how these tribes might factor in during this era of Zelda history. First up: the Sheikah.

I think what's most intriguing about the possibilities for the Sheikah is that they're largely a blank slate. All we really know about them is that they're in some way connected to shadows, which probably has to do with their secretive nature and the ninja-like presentation we glimpsed in Ocarina of Time. We can presume some degree of clairvoyance thanks to the tribe's connection to "seeing" through the Lens of Truth, Madame Fanadi's fortune-telling, and the prophecies Zelda told to us as Sheik. (Although the latter could have actually come from the royal family, with Zelda saying they belonged to the Sheikah as part of her cover.)
