Sheik (pronounced /ʃiːk/ sheek), is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[22][23][24][name reference needed] He appears to be a male Sheikah but is in fact a persona of Princess Zelda.[25] Zelda disguises herself as Sheik for most of Ocarina of Time, revealing her true identity only at the end of the game. Sheik uses his Harp to teach Link several Warping Songs throughout the game.
Biography[]
Ocarina of Time[]
Sheik reveals himself to Link shortly after Link is freed from the Chamber of Sages after his seven-year slumber.[26] He introduces himself as the "Survivor of the Sheikahs".[1] He informs Link that he must awaken the Seven Sages in order to bring peace back to Hyrule.[27] Alerting him of the need to acquire the Hookshot in order to enter the Temples, Sheik stays in front of the Pedestal of the Master Sword.[28] He later appears when Link arrives at the Sacred Forest Meadow. He tells Link about the songs for Warping that can access Temple entrances and teaches him the Minuet of Forest before disappearing again.[29] Further along, Sheik approaches Link at the Fire Temple entrance in the Death Mountain Crater, teaching him the Bolero of Fire before walking away, using a wall of flame to halt Link's inquiring advance.[30]
Sheik once again mysteriously appears in the Ice Cavern to inform Link of the fate of the Zoras and to teach him the "Serenade of Water".[31][32] He then waits outside the Water Temple for Link to free it from Morpha's influence and awaken the Sage of Water before disappearing once again.
When Kakariko Village comes under attack from a mysterious force, Link discovers that Sheik is already there. Together they encounter and are defeated by an invisible monster thought to be the Evil Shadow Spirit. Sheik teaches Link the Nocturne of Shadow and urges Link to help Impa fight the Evil Shadow Spirit.[33] When Link discovers that he must venture back in time in order to do so, Sheik offers a helping hand informing Link on how to use the Master Sword and the Pedestal of the Master Sword in order to travel back and forth through Time.[34] He teaches Link the Prelude of Light before vanishing once again.[35]
At the entrance of the Spirit Temple, Sheik appears to have been waiting for Link from atop a large rock formation and once again informs him that he must enter the Temple as a child, utilizing the Pedestal of the Master Sword in the Temple of Time.[36] He gives Link a lesson on performing the Requiem of Spirit before using the desert winds as cover to vanish.[37]
With all Six Sages freed, Link is instructed to return to the Temple of Time where Sheik awaits. Sheik congratulates Link on his efforts and offers an explanation on what happened to Hyrule during Link's disappearance before finally revealing his true identity as Zelda.[38][39]
In other media[]
Ocarina of Time (Himekawa)[]
In the Ocarina of Time manga by Akira Himekawa, Sheik is first seen standing on a hill in the southern plains. Hours later, he first appears to Link having tended his wounds after being burned and thrown off a cliff by a large dragon named Volvagia. He reveals that Link would not have survived the scuffle except that he is wearing the Goron's Tunic and that if he had perished, there would be none left to face Ganondorf, later telling him that he has to Volvagia in order to break the curse and free the gorons, much to Link's displeasure. He then shows the young hero the cataclysmic damage Volvagia has caused to Goron City, stating that if he is not stopped, the entire continent will be buried in lava. After Link puts Volvagia out of his misery, Sheik reports to Ganon that killing an old friend has hurt the Hero of Time horribly and that now is the time to strike, stating that while they have secured the land, no trace of Zelda is found. Ganon then tells him that capturing her is his utmost priority, as they cannot afford for Link and Zelda to reach one another. Sheik complies without question.
Later on, Sheik later shows up at Lon Lon Ranch to tell Link of a rumor that Princess Zelda had been spotted in the Desert of Illusions, before vanishing again. On Link's way through the Desert, he nearly succumbs to blistering sands before Sheik pulls him out and continues to travel with him. Later that night, Link is attacked by illusions and images of his past, but Sheik is unaffected; Link wonders if it could be due to a lack of past in Sheik's life. Upon reaching the Gerudo's Fortress, Sheik knocks Link out in one blow to the skull, and the Hero is captured.
Once Link frees himself, he fights through the ranks of the Gerudo, before Sheik comes to him with his Sword and Shield. Throwing them to Link, Sheik attacks the invisible Twinrova, who were watching nearby. They accuse Sheik of being a traitor. Sheik is knocked unconscious after rebuking the accusation.
After escaping with the unconscious Sheik, Link finds a cave to rest in. He leaves to find water, flustered after getting too close to Sheik. He returns to find that Sheik, having awoken with the face wrappings having fallen off, appears to be a woman when he calls out to Impa. Fully transforming, Sheik is revealed to be Princess Zelda, who later explains that she had Impa lock her consciousness away and assume the disguise of a Sheikah boy.
Spinoff appearances[]
Hyrule Warriors[]
Sheik appears as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors. She appears in the story when Zelda goes missing. Unlike her previous incarnations, Sheik does not go to great lengths to hide her feminine physique.
Sheik uses a Harp as her primary weapon, with which she can unleash elemental effects from, as well as playing the Song of Storms along with the other Songs for Warping from Ocarina of Time. As Sheik performs combo attacks, an elemental Songs note will appear beneath her Special Attack Gauge. The notes allows Sheik to perform different charge attacks based on the element, which is done by hitting her Strong Attack button (Strong I). These notes do not have a time limit and will go away if Strong I is hit. A different Strong Combo will switch it out.
- The note Sheik gets from her Strong II Combo is for Serenade of Water; it surrounds Sheik in a shield of Water that can absorb up to four Hearts worth of damage.
- The note Sheik gets from her Strong III Combo is for Bolero of Fire; it creates a fire glyph that explodes into a flame geyser with a delayed detonation.
- The note Sheik gets from her Strong IV Combo is for Song of Storms; it produces an electric whirlwind that surrounds Sheik even while moving.
- The note Sheik gets from her Strong V Combo is for Nocturne of Shadows; it produces a field of Darkness that paralyzes enemies and damages them.
- The note Sheik gets from her Strong VI Combo is for Prelude of Light; it creates a rectangular field of Light that will regenerate her Special Attack Gauge when standing in it.
When activating Focus Spirit, Sheik performs Saria's Song. When deactivating it in front of a group of enemies with the A button, sprouts grow from the ground and suddenly burst into Trees. Sheik's Special Attack has her strum her Harp in rhythm, causing a huge wave of notes on surrounding enemies. She also uses a kunai for basic, quick attacks.
Sheik is later revealed to be Princess Zelda in disguise during "The Water Temple".[40] She had been in disguise to protect her identity from the enemy forces. From this point in the game, Sheik and Zelda both become options for Scenarios. If either Sheik or Zelda are selected as Warriors, Princess Ruto will take Zelda's place as leader of the Hyrulean Army.
Crossover appearances[]
Super Smash Bros. Melee[]
Zelda has the option of transforming into Sheik by pressing down the Stick while holding the B Button. Sheik has a completely different moveset than Zelda that are not based on magic, as her moves and weapons are quick and similar to those of a ninja.
# | Trophy | First Game / Move | Description | How to unlock |
---|---|---|---|---|
43 | Sheik |
Ocarina of Time 11/98 |
This is Zelda's alter ego. Using a variation of the name of the ancient Sheikah tribe, she appears before Link and teaches him melodies instrumental to his success. It's believed that she's not just a quick-change artist, but rather that she is able to instantaneously alter her clothing and her eye and skin color by using her magical skills. | Complete Classic Mode as Zelda or Sheik |
44 | Sheik [Smash] |
B: Needle Storm Smash B: Chain |
Strategically switching between Zelda and Sheik is key. Compared to her Zelda form, Sheik is nimble and has gorgeous moves, but she lacks a strong knockout attack. The number of needles thrown in Needle Storm is based on how long you hold the B Button before releasing it. Use the Control Stick to wave the Chain after brandishing it. | Complete Adventure Mode as Zelda or Sheik |
45 | Sheik [Smash] |
Up & B: Vanish Down & B: Transform |
The best strategy to use when playing as Sheik is to let her flow from one powerful attack into another, like a river of quicksilver. Zelda has some techniques with more punch, however, so in one-on-one battles, use Transform as needed. Sheik only travels a short way when using Vanish, but the move comes with a small explosion that damages foes around her. | Complete All-Star Mode as Zelda or Sheik |
Super Smash Bros. Brawl[]
Sheik appears again in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Although she did not appear in Twilight Princess, the character model was based on a design drafted during the game's development.[11] Hyrule Historia contains designs of Zelda from Twilight Princess as she would appear as Sheik, drawn specifically for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.[41]
She has mostly the same moveset from Super Smash Bros. Melee, and shares a Final Smash with Princess Zelda, the Light Arrows, although Sheik's deals more damage. In addition, Sheik can now crawl, wall jump, and use her Chain move as a tether recovery.
In Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary, Sheik is first introduced after Solid Snake saves Zelda and Peach when they are captured inside the Halberd. Although he orders them to stay put, Zelda transforms into Sheik to escape along with Peach to the battleship's front deck. Eventually, they reach their destination when suddenly Fox in his Arwing destroys one of the airship's turrets, shooting near where Peach was walking. Thinking that Fox was aiming at Peach, Sheik teleports onto Fox's Arwing and, using her hand, shatters the cockpit window. This forces Fox to eject out of the Arwing and land on the battleship's front deck along with Sheik. Although the two begin to fight, Peach stops them by offering a cup of tea to Fox. Confused at first, Fox looks over to see that Sheik has already begun drinking the tea, thus realizing that Sheik and Peach are not his enemies as he accepts Peach's offer and joins them.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U[]
Sheik returns in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U as a separate character, no longer being a transformation of Zelda. Due to this, several new special moves exclusive to the Super Smash Bros. series were added to both characters' movesets. These include the Burst Grenade and Bouncing Fish for Sheik, and the Phantom Slash for Zelda.

In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Sheik claimed to be a surviving Sheikah. However, this was just a cunning disguise for Princess Zelda so that she could escape Ganondorf.

Sheik's Burst Grenade side special throws a small grenade that draws in nearby fighters before exploding. Once the button has been released, it'll hop or explode after a time.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[]
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Sheik appears in a redesign based off the Stealth Set from Breath of the Wild with all of her basic move set from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U but with a different Final Smash. Sheik also appears as a Fighter Spirit that can be obtained by either clearing "Masquerade", Sheik's Classic Mode Route, or by purchasing it from the Shop for G 300.
Trivia[]
- Although Sheik does not appear in Breath of the Wild, the Stealth Chest Guard and Stealth Tights appear to be based on her. Sheik's Mask can also appear if the Sheik amiibo is used. Her outfit from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is also based directly off the Stealth Chest Guard and Stealth Tights, while her mask incorporates Stealth Mask's white scarf.

Notes
- ↑ Ocarina of Time comprises Sheik's only canonical appearance. Within that game, Sheik's gender is referred to once in the English version, when Princess Ruto referred to Sheik as a "a young man" and refers to Sheik as "him".[3][4] The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time — Official Nintendo Player's Guide by Nintendo Power also describes Sheik as male.[5]
Contrarily, Sheik was referred to using feminine pronouns on the official Zelda website.[6] Eiji Aonuma has said that, according to a survey, American players preferred female characters that were more independent, citing Sheik and Tetra as examples.[7]
On August 5, 2014, Bill Trinen, Nintendo's senior product marketing manager and head translator for Ocarina of Time, stated in an interview that since Sheik is just Princess Zelda in disguise, and since Princess Zelda is female, Sheik is also female.[8]
Matching the pronoun usage in the game, Zelda Wiki refers to Sheik with masculine pronouns for his appearance in Ocarina of Time. - ↑ Sheik is referred to with feminine pronouns in the Tips.[15] Sheik is also referred with masculine pronouns once again in new voice lines from Palutena's Guidance.[16]
The Super Smash Blog for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate refers to Sheik with masculine pronouns,[17] however the official Nintendo Tumblr, Nintendo Versus Twitter and Super Smash Bros. Facebook all refer to Sheik with feminine pronouns.[18][19][20]

But if that one's heart is not in balance, the Triforce will separate into three parts: Power, Wisdom, and Courage.
