major botw dlc spoilers (yes really)
@Nine @pup_hime it's implied that bananas were a Big Deal in shiekah society before the yiga split from the rest of them, and the yiga maintained this fanaticism through the centuries while the non-yiga shiekah gradually lost it
the main evidence for this is the maz koshia boss fight, where you can throw out a banana to distract him just like you can any of the yiga. since maz koshia is one of the ancient shiekah from 10,000 years ago, that would imply that banana-loving was already entrenched in shiekah society at the time
