They were assumed to have become rare after the Imprisoning War, and became extinct after the Great Flood in the pre- Wind Waker era. Not much is known about their lifespan or other details about their lives. Young males pierced their ears as a traditional rite of passage. They were skilled in magical and combative arts, and their cultural pendant was an eye with three triangles above it (as if to imitate eyelashes) and a teardrop, to symbolize the betrayal of the Royal Family (according to the official Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time manga).

The most famous members were Impa, the maid of Princess Zelda, and Sheik, the guised alter ego of Princess Zelda herself. Some of the Sheikah were known to have levels of clairvoyancy and had red eyes. Their eyes were gray and they often had tatoos on their faces which suggested ferocity to their enemies.
