Dana Carvey isn't the only Master of DisguiseAfter encountering hundreds of Yiga clan members in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/), I never really thought twice about them. Well, justlookingfordragon did (https://www.reddit.com/r/Breath_of_the_Wild/comments/wm5riq/evil_twins_yiga_counterparts/)!
Amazingly, the entire exercise is framed as a self-imposed mission, as many Breath of the Wild activities often are (https://www.destructoid.com/feeding-good-dogs-is-all-the-rage-in-the-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-speedrun-community/). In this case, they opted to take photos of the Yiga clan imposters (https://www.destructoid.com/clowning-on-obvious-yiga-clan-members-in-zelda-breath-of-the-wild-never-gets-old/) they find out on their travels, then track them down based on those photos. As they point out, "none of the Yiga impersonate 'important' characters: most are just wandering people with a couple lines of random dialogue." This actually kind of fits with the theme of just blinding in by taking an ordinary person's identity.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild Yiga clan mystery solvedIt turns out justlookingfordragons also seemingly figured out better ways to spot the Yiga imposters. They actually only double as Hylians or Hylian-adjacent races (which might be something you already noticed, but is nice to get confirmation on after all this research), and never take the identity of a child or an older resident (or any other race).
They even provided a helpful map (above) for spotting stationary Breath of the Wild Yiga clan members ? and you can save and load using a campfire to reset them. If you're remotely interested in how the Yiga clan operates, the breakdown is worth the full read (https://www.reddit.com/r/Breath_of_the_Wild/comments/wm5riq/evil_twins_yiga_counterparts/). Hopefully they return in the sequel!
