A mysterious warrior with great wisdom and strength, '''Sheik''' (シーク, ''Shiiku'') is one of the last surviving [[Sheikah]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. He aids [[Link]] on his quest without really describing who he is or why he is aiding Link. He has great advice, wisdom, and knowledge of the world, making him an invaluable ally for Link. All of the quotes from Sheik can be read [[Sheik/Quotes|here]]. Sheik is also the teacher of the various teleportation [[:Category:Songs|songs]] that Link uses later on in his quest.

==={{OoT|-}}===
Sheik reveals himself to Link shortly after Link is freed from the [[Chamber of Sages]] after his seven year imprisonment. He informs Link that he must awaken the seven sages in order to bring peace back to [[Hyrule]]. Alerting him of the need to possess a [[Hookshot|new tool]] in order to enter the temples, Sheik stays in front of the pedestal. He then later appears when Link arrives at the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]]. He tells Link about the warp songs used to teleport to temple entrances and teaches him the [[Minuet of Forest]] before disappearing again. 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.

When [[Kakariko Village]] comes under attack from a mysterious force, Link discovers that Sheik is already there.

Sheik teaches Link the [[Nocturne of Shadow]] and urges Link to help [[Impa]] fight the Shadow Spirit. 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 Time]] in order to travel back and forth through time. He teaches Link the [[Prelude of Light]] then once again vanishes.


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 Link that he must enter the temple as a child, utilizing the [[Pedestal of Time]] in the [[Temple of Time]].

*According to the ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Her ''Twilight Princess'' model was used in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl.''<ref name="smash">[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/sheik.html Super Smash Bros. DOJO!! - Sheik]</ref>

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Zelda has the option of transforming into Sheik. To do this, you must press down the analog stick while pressing the B button.  Sheik has a completely different moveset than Zelda. Sheik's moves and weapons are quick and similar to those of a ninja.  Sheik is an extremely speedy character and for this reason she could be a bit difficult to control.  Although she has an original moveset, she is found to have similarities with [[Characters in Super Smash Bros. (Series)#Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon]]. In ''Melee'', the two of them have a more powerful star rod attack. In the game, Sheik is always referred to as a female.

Sheik appears again in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

He returns to find that {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}}, having awoken with the face wrappings off, appears to be a woman. Fully transforming, {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}} is revealed to be {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Princess Zelda}}, who later explains that she had {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Impa}} lock her consciousness away and assume the disguise of a {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheikah}} boy.
Sheik first appears to Link having tended his wounds after being defeated by [[Volvagia]]. Sheik is a spy for [[Ganon|Ganondorf]] and later shows up to tell Link 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 be 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. Once reaching the [[Gerudo Fortress]], Sheik knocks Link out, and the Hero is captured.

Once Link frees himself, he fights through the ranks of 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 Shiek of being a traitor. Shiek replies," A traitor? I was never one of you!" The Twinrova then blast Sheik into unconsciousness.

{{Term|SSBM|Princess Zelda|link}} has the option of transforming into {{Term|SSBM|Sheik}} by pressing down the Stick while holding the B Button. {{Term|SSBM|Sheik}} has a completely different moveset than {{Term|SSBM|Princess Zelda}} that are not based on magic, as her moves and weapons are quick and similar to those of a ninja.

== Gender Issues ==
==={{SSBB|-}}===
{{spoiler}}
{{Noncanon|Start}}
As Sheik spends most of the latter part of the game disguised as a male, many fans have argued to Sheik's true identity. There is no hint given in the game that Sheik is in fact a male; however, at one point [[Princess Ruto|Ruto]] refers to Sheik as a "he". This is most likely explained by Ruto being unaware of Sheik's true nature. Sheik's build being more suggestive of a male.
{{Term|SSBB|Sheik}} appears again in {{SSBB}}. Although she did not appear in {{TP}}, the character model was based on a design drafted during the game's development.<ref name="Smash"/> {{HH}} contains designs of {{TP|-}} {{Term|SSBB|Princess Zelda}} as she would appear as {{Term|SSBB|Sheik}}, drawn specifically for {{SSBB|-}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= The pictures at the bottom right represent what Zelda from Twilight Princess would look like if she transformed into Sheik. They were drawn for Super Smash Bros. Brawl.|book=HH|page= 174}}</ref>


Various theories to Sheik's true gender exists, partly due to the ''Ocarina of Time'' manga, which deviates from canon, in which Princess Zelda had sealed away her consciousness and transformed herself into a Sheikah male. However in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Sheik is refered to as female throughout and more importantly her trophy information states her gender as female. While the Super Smash Bros. series is not considered canon all the trophy descriptions are, given that there sole purpose is to describe people, places and things from previous Nintendo titles, and therefore Nintendo has officially declared the Sheik's gender as female.  
She has mostly the same moveset from {{SSBM|-}}, and shares a {{Term|SSBB|Final Smash|link}} with {{Term|SSBB|Princess Zelda}}, the {{Plural|SSBB|Light Arrow|link}}, although {{Term|SSBB|Sheik}}'s deals more damage. In addition, {{Term|SSBB|Sheik}} can now {{ssb|crawl}}, {{ssb|wall jump}}, and use her Chain move as a {{ssb|tether recovery}}.
 
In {{Term|SSBB|The Subspace Emissary|link}} mode from {{SSBB|-}}, {{Term|SSBB|Sheik}} is first introduced after {{ssb|Solid Snake}} saves {{Term|SSBB|Princess Zelda}} and Peach when they are captured inside the {{ssb|Halberd}}. Although he orders them to stay put, {{Term|SSBB|Princess Zelda}} transforms into {{Term|SSBB|Sheik}} to escape along with Peach to the battleship's front deck. Eventually, they reach their destination when suddenly {{lw|Fox}} in his {{lw|Arwing}} destroys one of the airship's turrets, shooting near where Peach was walking. Thinking that Fox was aiming at Peach, {{Term|SSBB|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 {{Term|SSBB|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 {{Term|SSBB|Sheik}} has already begun drinking the tea, thus realizing that {{Term|SSBB|Sheik}} and Peach are not his enemies as he accepts Peach's offer and joins them.

[[File:SheikHW.jpg|right|thumb|220px|{{Term|HW|Sheik}} playing the {{Term|HW|Goddess's Harp}} from {{HW|-}}]]
{{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} appears as a playable character in {{HW}}. She appears in the story when {{Term|HWDE|Princess Zelda}} goes missing. Unlike her previous incarnations, {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} does not go to great lengths to hide her feminine physique.
 
{{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} uses a {{Term|HWDE|Harp}} as her primary weapon, with which she can unleash elemental effects from, as well as playing the "{{Term|HWDE|Song of Storms|link}}" along with the other {{Plural|OoT3D|Song}} for {{Term|OoT3D|Warping}} from {{OoT|-}}. As {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} performs combo attacks, an elemental {{Term|HWDE|Song}} note will appear beneath her {{Term|HWDE|Special Attack|link}} Gauge. The notes allows {{Term|HWDE|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 {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} gets from her Strong II Combo is for "{{Term|HWDE|Serenade of Water|link}}"; it surrounds {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} in a shield of {{Term|HWDE|Water}} that can absorb up to four {{Plural|HWDE|Heart}} worth of damage.
* The note {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} gets from her Strong III Combo is for "{{Term|HWDE|Bolero of Fire|link}}"; it creates a fire glyph that explodes into a flame geyser with a delayed detonation.
* The note {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} gets from her Strong IV Combo is for "{{Term|HWDE|Song of Storms}}"; it produces an electric whirlwind that surrounds {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} even while moving.
* The note {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} gets from her Strong V Combo is for "{{Term|HWDE|Nocturne of Shadow|link|display=Nocturne of Shadows}}"; it produces a field of {{Term|HWDE|Darkness|link}} that paralyzes enemies and damages them.
* The note {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} gets from her Strong VI Combo is for "{{Term|HWDE|Prelude of Light|link}}"; it creates a rectangular field of {{Term|HWDE|Light}} that will regenerate her {{Term|HWDE|Special Attack}} Gauge when standing in it.
 
When activating {{Term|HWDE|Focus Spirit|link}}, {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} performs "{{Term|HWDE|Saria's Song|link}}". When deactivating it in front of a group of enemies with the A button, sprouts grow from the ground and suddenly burst into {{Plural|HWDE|Tree}}. {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}}'s {{Term|HWDE|Special Attack}} has her strum her {{Term|HWDE|Harp}} in rhythm, causing a huge wave of notes on surrounding enemies. She also uses a kunai for basic, quick attacks.
 
{{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} is later revealed to be {{Term|HWDE|Princess Zelda}} in disguise during "{{Term|HWDE|The Water Temple|link}}".<ref>{{Cite|You can't be Zelda. Because... I am Zelda!|Sheik|HW}}</ref> She had been in disguise to protect her identity from the enemy forces. From this point in the game, {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} and {{Term|HWDE|Princess Zelda}} both become options for {{Plural|HWDE|Scenario|link}}. If either {{Term|HWDE|Sheik}} or {{Term|HWDE|Princess Zelda}} are selected as {{Plural|HWDE|Warrior}}, {{Term|HWDE|Princess Ruto}} will take {{Term|HWDE|Princess Zelda}}'s place as leader of the Hyrulean Army.

{{Term|SSBfWU|Sheik}} returns in {{SSB4}} as a separate character, no longer being a transformation of {{Term|SSBfWU|Princess Zelda}}. Due to this, several new special moves exclusive to the {{SSB|-}} series were added to both characters' movesets. These include the '''Burst Grenade''' and '''Bouncing Fish''' for {{Term|SSBfWU|Sheik}}, and the {{ssb|Phantom Slash}} for Zelda.

In {{SSBU}}, {{Term|SSBU|Sheik}} appears in a redesign based off the {{Term|BotW|Stealth Set|link}} from {{BotW}} with all of her basic move set from {{SSB4|-}} but with a different {{Term|SSBU|Final Smash|link}}. {{Term|SSBU|Sheik}} also appears as a {{Term|SSBU|Fighter Spirit|link}} that can be obtained by either clearing "{{Term|SSBU|Masquerade|link}}", {{Term|SSBU|Sheik}}'s {{Term|SSBU|Classic Mode|link}} Route, or by purchasing it from the {{Term|SSBU|Shop|link}} for G 300.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the game [[wikipedia:Paper Mario|Paper Mario]], released two years after ''Ocarina of Time'', there is a Little Mouser king named Moustafa. To keep himself from being found, he disguised himself as a information dealer named Sheek, most likely a reference to Sheik.
*Although {{Term|BotW|Sheik}} does not appear in {{BotW}}, the {{Term|BotW|Stealth Chest Guard|link}} and {{Term|BotW|Stealth Tights|link}} appear to be based on her. {{Term|BotW|Sheik's Mask|link}} can also appear if the {{Term|Series|Sheik}} {{Term|Series|Amiibo|link}} is used. Her outfit from {{SSBU}} is also based directly off the {{Term|BotW|Stealth Chest Guard}} and {{Term|BotW|Stealth Tights}}, while her mask incorporates {{Term|BotW|Stealth Mask|link}}'s white scarf.
