The Sheikah were originally raised from the Goddess Hylia before the sealing of the Herald of Death and she would discard her divine condition to keep it sealed. One of the members of the Sheikah is assigned the task of protecting the reincarnation of the goddess, Zelda. Thus, over the years, the Sheikah became protectors of the descendants of the incarnation of the goddess, who would become the Royal Family of Hyrule. The Sheikah maintain and transmit history and legends to their descendants, including prophecies such as the arrival of the Hero of Time.
According to the non-canonical information of The Legend of Zelda's manga: Ocarina of Time, young Sheikah boys pierce their ears like a traditional rite when they reach adulthood. In addition, Sheik explains to Ganondorf that the tribe can not live without serving someone, so he / she (Sheik) accepted him as his master, but the strength of this is uncertain because Sheik was acting to be accepted as a servant. of Ganondorf.
