They were all shaped by Pleistocene glaciation.

They're all related to glaciers? For the last 30 million years, glaciers have periodically filled much of the Yosemite Valley. A fjord occurs when water floods a U-shaped glacial valley, and a there's a Matterhorn glacier as well as glaciers at the base of the mountain.

They were produced by glaciers.
Yosemite is a U-shaped valley, fiords are U-shaped valleys flooded by the ocean, and the Matterhorn is a horn.

All of these landforms are carved/formed by glaciers
Yosemite valley: a type of glacial valley
fjords: a submerged glacial valley
Matterhorn: a horn( a pointed peak)

They all have steep sides!
But seriously, they are all associated with orogenic uplift, followed by glaciation.
