From Zelda Wiki.org
The/an eye symbol is found in a number of Zelda games, and is often associated with the Sheikah tribe.
A Link to the Past
The eye symbol has been seen throughout the
Zelda series ever since the release of
A Link to the Past. In that game, the evil wizard
Agahnim has the eye symbol on his robe and throughout his lairs. The symbol has lashes on the top and bottom and the inside circle is so thin that it almost appears feline.
Ocarina of Time
The symbol appeared again in
Ocarina of Time, when it was the symbol of the
Sheikah, the shadow folk of Hyrule. They placed it all throughout "their"
Shadow Temple, and on their artifacts such as the
Lens of Truth, the
Gossip Stones, and the
Mask of Truth. They also placed it on their clothing. The symbol has three triangular lashes on top and a tear drop on the bottom.
Oracle of Ages
In Oracle of Ages, Veran, Sorceress of Shadows, has an eye symbol on her gown, along with Gerudo Symbols on her shoulders.
Four Swords Subseries
During Four Swords, the evil wind demon Vaati is seen as personifying the symbol with his one stylized eye. It was seen again during Four Swords Adventures and The Minish Cap.
The Wind Waker
In The Wind Waker, a version of the eye symbol can be seen at the door of the grounded ship atop Forsaken Fortress, where Ganondorf dwells. Although the tear is bigger and the eye smaller, it's very similar to the Sheikah eye symbol. Why a Sheikah symbol would appear there is a mystery, although it may indicate that the pirate ship where it is found was once crewed by Sheikah-descended pirates [1]. The eye symbol also appears in the room containing the Master Sword, where it is displayed in a stained-glass window of Impa above her head.
Twilight Princess
A howling stone displays the symbol
Zelda wears the symbol on her cloak The most recent appearance of the symbol would be with the
Twili in
Twilight Princess. It can be found on their artifacts, such as Midna's helmet and the
Fused Shadow. It is also seen on their buildings and in places such as above
Zant's throne, and appears on the cloak worn by
Princess Zelda. Also, the eye symbol features prominently on the
Howling Stones, in the same way as the
Gossip Stones from
Ocarina of Time.
