The Question: What happened to the Eighth Heroine?

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the Seven Heroines are the divine protectors of the Gerudo people, and seven statues commemorating them can be found in the East Gerudo Ruins.

A mysterious eighth statue can also be discovered with considerable effort, however, in the northern Gerudo Highlands.

The Eighth Heroine was removed from Gerudo legend for unknown reasons, prompting players to speculate what possibly could have happened for the statue to be moved from its original location.

Perhaps this eighth divine protector fell out with or even betrayed the rest of the group, causing them to be exiled forever more.

Of course it's entirely possible that Nintendo simply did this for a giggle and merely hoped to stoke conversation among players without any sort of concrete answer.

There certainly doesn't appear to be a clear solution in Breath of the Wild itself, though the Eighth Heroine being cast out by the rest seems like the most logical conclusion.
