This is certainly convenient timing, but [https://shinesparkers.net/concept-artwork-surfaces-for-rumoured-sheik-and-boo-titles-by-retro-studios/ concept artwork] from 2005 to 2008 was released online by a former Retro Studios pre-production artist for an “action/JRPG” title supposedly featuring (male) Sheik as literally the last surviving Sheikah on a journey to revitalize the Master Sword while the new "Dark Gerudo" prepare for the 100-year rebirth of Ganon, which was apparently set "within the bad ending" of ''Ocarina of Time'' (I presume meaning either prior to the great flood mentioned in ''The Wind Waker'' or after [[Hyrule Historia#The Hero is Defeated|the Hero of Time is defeated]], or possibly something else entirely). Sketches include Sheik, the aforementioned Dark Gerudo, a Dark Valoo race, petrified Deku Tree, Deku Warriors, Hyrule Castle during a drought, spirits, a Clocktown with robotic children, {{wp|Jabberwocky}}, Helmasaurs, and other creatures and settings. The game reportedly never went beyond pre-production and I'm not sure if we have enough information on other projects to create a [[mariowiki:list of unreleased media|list of unreleased media]], but shall it at least be incorporated as trivia?

:Definitely, if Sheik was to star in a game that never got past the concept stage. [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 13:19, 7 May 2020 (MDT)
::The art links are just giving me 404 errors... [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:05, 7 May 2020 (MDT)
:::Looks like the individual posts were taken down within the past hour or so, though someone had the foresight of preserving them on {{wp|archive.today}} (not me, the posts were archived two days ago and I just found out about it today). [[User:LTL|LTL]] ([[User talk:LTL|talk]]) 14:15, 7 May 2020 (MDT)
::::Really? That's a very strange coincidence. [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 15:02, 7 May 2020 (MDT)
:::::Some details such as the reason for cancellation are followed up [https://www.ign.com/articles/cancelled-zelda-sheik-boo-game here], but there's still no word on why the artwork was removed. Likely legal reasons, but Hall explains that since it was in pre-production, most of Nintendo probably never saw it. [[User:LTL|LTL]] ([[User talk:LTL|talk]]) 13:48, 9 May 2020 (MDT)
::::::Yeah, saw your MW edits on that. Hope we can see it again soon, though it was likely some sorta well-meaning dimwit copyright snitch. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:52, 9 May 2020 (MDT)
:::::::Well, it looks like Sammy Hall's [https://www.artstation.com/sammyhall ArtStation account] was deleted entirely (it was just active yesterday with the Nintendo content removed), so that unfortunately might be the last we see of it for a while.
