The Gerudo sun blazed mercilessly over the vast desert, baking the sand and stone into a shimmering haze. A solitary, cloaked figure—a child—staggered through the dunes, each step a painful struggle on the scorching ground. From the rippling heat, a taller, masked silhouette resolved itself. The Yiga Blademaster’s gaze, sharp and assessing, tracked the small wanderer. Without a word, he lunged forward, his grip rough and final as he seized the child by the hood, hauling them off their feet. The metallic whisper of his sword against its sheath was the only sound as he dragged his captive toward the secret entrance carved into the cliffside, where the shadows of the clan’s lair waited, deep and cold.
