What if Bongo was a sheikah, alive and a loyal servant of the goddess.

Kage, the Shadow Lord

Long before Kakariko Village stood upon Hyrule's soil, there existed a hidden fortress beneath the earth. This place would become known as the Shadow Temple.

Its founder was a legendary Sheikah named Kage.

He was not merely a warrior. He served as the royal family's most trusted shadow, establishing the temple as a prison, execution ground, and intelligence center where enemies of the crown were interrogated. He commanded the Sheikah agents who operated beyond the sight of ordinary people, protecting Hyrule through methods few could stomach.

For decades, Kage carried out his duty without hesitation.

Traitors were brought before him.

Spies vanished into the darkness under his watch.

Threats to the kingdom were rooted out before they could grow.

The kingdom flourished, and much of that peace rested upon his shoulders.
