In the {{OoT|Himekawa}}, {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}} first appears to {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Link|link}} having tended his wounds after being defeated by {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Volvagia|link}}. {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}} is a spy for {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Ganondorf|link}} and later shows up to tell {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Link}} of a rumor that {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Princess Zelda}} had been spotted in the {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Desert of Illusions|link}}, before vanishing again.

Later that night, {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Link}} is attacked by illusions and images of his past, but {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}} is unaffected; {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Link}} wonders if it could be due to a lack of past in {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}}'s life. Upon reaching the {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Gerudo's Fortress|link}}, {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}} knocks {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Link}} out, and the {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Link|display=Hero}} is captured. | |||
Once {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Link}} frees himself, he fights through the ranks of the {{Plural|OoT (Himekawa)|Gerudo}}, before {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}} comes to him with his {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sword}} and {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Shield}}. Throwing them to {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Link}}, {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}} attacks the invisible {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Twinrova|link}}, who were watching nearby. They accuse {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}} of being a traitor. {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}} is knocked unconscious after rebuking the accusation. | |||
After escaping with the unconscious {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}}, {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Link}} finds a cave to rest in. He leaves to find water, flustered after getting too close to {{Term|OoT (Himekawa)|Sheik}}. 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. | |||

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 {{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== | ||
*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. | |||
