Sheikah

The Sheikahs are a humanoid race, bearing great resemblance to Hylians in both appearance and magical capacity. The Sheikahs, however, are known for their distinctive red eyes and pointed ears, which they share the latter with the Hylians. Despite physical similarities, the true relationship between the Sheikah and Hylian races is unknown.
While much about the tribe and their history is shrouded in mystery, one recurring reminder of their connections to various times, places and objects is their symbol, an eye with three pointed lashes atop, two curling on each side, and a tear drop. This symbol can be found on various objects around the land.
The Sheikah were originally chosen by the Goddess Hylia to serve as guardians and have been highly devoted to the Royal Family of Hyrule, protecting the descendants of Hylia's mortal incarnation.
