Cat face in Ocarina of time

I doubt they're Sheikah in origin, considering they also appear in the Ikana Graveyard. Based on the fact that the locations these faces are found in are often associated with death and graves, it's likely these are just supposed to be scary markings to ward off any tomb robbers or people seeking to desecrate burial sites. Also, considering the graveyard in Ikana is primarily used by the Royal Family of Ikana, and the proximity of the Royal Family's tomb to the Shadow Temple, this further supports the idea of the faces being used to ward off people searching for treasure in the tombs, like heart pieces, empty bottles, songs that can magically cause massive torrents of rain out of nothing, you know, basic tomb stuff.
