Zuna

The Zuna are a green skinned race of people who co-inhabit the Desert of Doubt with the Gerudo, in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. Because the Zuna Tribe lives in such an isolated part of the Desert of Doubt, they are rarely seen by outsiders, especially those from outside the desert. The Zuna have an ancient history about which few are knowledgeable. It is known, however, that they were once the builders of the Pyramid which housed the Trident of Power, as each Zuna is told this story during their childhood.

Traditional Zuna dress is quite different to that of the Gerudo: some of them wear white ankle-length cloaks and a white turban that has what appears to be a Roc's Feather sticking out of the top. Others wear red ankle-length cloaks that cover their mouths and a red turban that has a red headdress hanging down from it. There is also a small white flower atop the red turban.

The Dark Tribe?
The inscription on the stone tablet behind the Trident shows that it was designed for evil purposes by an evil race. One of the maidens tells Link that a dark tribe tried to invade Hyrule, but were defeated and sealed inside the Dark Mirror, which is found inside the Temple of Darkness. It seems likely that this tribe were the ancestors of the Zuna, as they may have used their Trident to attempt to take over Hyrule. However, because the history of the Zuna race is not very well understood, no one can say for sure whether the two peoples are one and the same.

It is possible that the Zuna tribe (all or some) were the Dark Interlopers referred to in Twilight Princess. If this is so then the Dark Mirror would be the Mirror of Twilight. Also, note that the weapon Midna wields is a trident when using the Fused Shadow.
