The Book of Sheikah

The Book
The Book of Sheikah holds all the teachings of the Shadow Folk, from their theology to their fighting style. It holds records of wars past, and includes advice to keep the Sheikah from repeating the past.

The Hyrulean Civil War
The Civil War started when the races of Hyrule fought over the entrance to the Sacred Realm and the power of the Triforce. During that War, the Sheikah swore loyalty to the Hylian Royal Family. However, Gerudo spies "tipped the family off" about the Sheikah plan for "betrayal." This tip was false, but the Royal Family still banished the Sheikah from all Hylian towns. That was when the tear was added to the symbol of the Sheikah.



The Imprisoning War
The Imprisoning War was the great Hyrulean effort to seal Ganon in the Realm of Twilight.
