A female recurring character in [[The Legend of Zelda]] series. She is a descendant of the mysterious [[Sheikah]] tribe that has served the Royal Family of Hyrule for many generations, and is [[Princess Zelda]]'s personal attendant. She often aids Link in his quest by giving him useful information. Her depiction in each game has varied widely; from a withered old woman, to large, middle aged woman, to a lithe, young bodyguard.

In [[the_legend_of_zelda:_ocarina_of_time|Ocarina of Time]] and [[the_legend_of_zelda:_a_link_between_worlds|A Link Between Worlds]], she is the Sage of Shadows.

She returns as a playable character in the spin-off title [[Hyrule Warriors]], where she fights using a giant [[sword|blade]] and a [[naginata]]. Ironically, she is initially suspicious of [[Sheik]].

The Impa in [[Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity]] is the exact same Impa as the one in [[the_legend_of_zelda:_breath_of_the_wild|Breath Of The Wild]], except a hundred years [[aged down|younger]]. This Impa is much closer to [[paya_(zelda)|Paya]], her future granddaughter, than to any previous versions of Impa, and [[look-alike|not just in looks]].
