Biography
Sooga is a tall minion of the Yiga Clan, resembling a Yiga Blademaster but with two swords. He first appears after Master Kohga's failed effort to manipulate the Gerudo by disguising as their leader Urbosa. Once the heroes have Kohga cornered at a column, Sooga comes down from it and pushes Link and Urbosa back by unleashing energy slices from his swords. He then grabs Kohga before disappearing in a puff of smoke. That night in the Yiga hideout, he and Kohga listen to Astor explaining his plan to prevent Calamity Ganon from being sealed away. Later, the Yiga Clan attack a Hyrulean village with Sooga claiming they are there for Zelda. During the battle, Sooga orders his Yiga followers to prioritize on the princess. Eventually, the heroes manage to defeat him, but Sooga makes one final effort to throw three kunai at Zelda as he escapes, only for Link to block them with his shield. Sooga remarks that the future will not change before ordering the Yiga to retreat.
Back in the Yiga hideout, Astor tells Master Kohga and Sooga that the Hyrulean forces were using the Sheikah Slate to resonate with the towers could place them in trouble of being discovered. When he mentions that the Guardian corrupted by Malice contains the spirit of Ganon and explains his plan of taking over the whole world, Sooga warns him that Ganon is a force that cannot be controlled, but is ignored. Later, the Yiga Clan invade Akkala Citadel. Sooga appears at multiple stops and attempts to stop the heroes from interfering with Kohga's plan, but is defeated both times. Eventually, the Yiga Clan Hideout is found by Divine Beast Vah Naboris, with the Champions leading a siege. While the heroes battle against Master Kohga, Sooga appears to aid his leader. Once again they are defeated, forcing them to retreat. Taking refuge at the top of a cliff, Astor appears, with the two angered that he didn't assist them and blame him for their defeat. Sooga lifts the seer by the neck, threatening him that they could no longer overlook his failure. He is forced to let go after Astor reminds him and Kohga that turning against him means betrayal towards Ganon.
After the future Champions are brought back to save the Divine Beasts, Astor harvests the souls of several Yiga Clan members, much to Kohga and Sooga's horror. He mocks the two that they can actually be useful for once in their lives and creates a Malice-formed clone of Link to attack them. Sooga tells Kohga to get to safety as he fights the monster, but Kohga is unwilling to leave Sooga behind, claiming he's his best lackey. Sooga then vows to defend Kohga, even if it costs him his life.
After Kohga and the Yiga clan joined forces with Hyrulian Forces, Sooga would later appear in the game level "The Siege Of Fort Hateno" as the levels only "strong" ally. Confirming that he and Kohga were both able to escape with their lives. He wouldn't appear later until the games true end credits, although, it is unknown if the credits canonical to the games story.
