List of Sheik profiles and statistics

This is a list of profiles and statistics for Sheik.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

• BradyGAMES: "Among the most mysterious characters in the game, Sheik is also the important acquaintance that Link makes during adulthood. When Link awakens in the Temple of Time, his first encounter with Sheik gives him the information to seek out Ganondorf in the dark reality of a strange, new Hyrule.
  
  As Sheik appears throughout Link’s later quests, Link will gain the ability to use various warp spots scattered throughout Hyrule Kingdom. Helpful, but incredibly mysterious, Sheik appears and disappears within the blink of an eye. What are Sheik’s true intentions?"

Zelda Universe

• "The youth known as Sheik appeared in Hyrule after Link returned to the Temple of Time as an adult. Sheik always covered her face and muffled her voice to protect her identity, but Link soon learned that this helpful soul was in fact his good friend Princess Zelda. Her unusual dress and demeanor came from being raised as a Sheikah by her protector Impa."

Name	Image	Game / Moves	Description
Sheik (Classic)		The Legend of Zelda: 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.
Sheik (Adventure)		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.
Sheik (All-Star)		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.

Trophy	Image	Game	Description
Sheik		N64 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time	The persona Zelda adopted to escape from Ganondorf. She completely hid all traces of her Zelda identity and appeared to Link as the last member of the Sheikah tribe. She taught Link essential ocarina melodies and then vanished in an instant. She didn't appear very often--rather, she would show up to support Link in crucial situations.
Light Arrow (Sheik)		Wii Super Smash Bros. Brawl	Sheik's Final Smash. After grabbing a Smash Ball, Sheik will be able to wield a bow of light. The arrow fired from this bow has the power to pass through multiple targets, so it will damage all enemies in the direction it flies. This, coupled with its shield-breaking power, makes it even more terrible. Even in Sheik form, Zelda's ability as an archer is undiminished.

Snake's codec

• Snake: What's going on here? What happened to Zelda?!
• Mei Ling: Snake, Princess Zelda transformed into Sheik. I can understand the clothes, but to change her skin and eye color? That must take some powerful magic.
• Snake: ...Magic...?
• Mei Ling: Come on, Snake! Don't get all grumpy and start talking about how unscientific it is. Science is basically just another form of magic that makes our lives easier.
• Snake: I never thought I'd hear that coming from you, Mei Ling.
• Mei Ling: Don't you think talking to someone halfway around the world is a kind of magic? Or flying across entire continents?
• Snake: No, I think this is completely different.

Sheik	(3DS)	N64 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (11/1998) 3DS The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (6/2011)	NA: 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. In Smash Bros., she's the complete opposite of Zelda, striking with fast attacks that can keep an opponent off balance. PAL: Sheik is introduced in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time as the "survivor of the Sheikah", although it turns out to be Zelda, who took on the disguise to hide from Ganondorf. Sheik's ninja-like speed is a real contrast with Zelda's, and it allows for sneaky, fast-paced attacks that overwhelm opponents before they can even react.

Tips

• Sheik's Origins: Sheik first appeared in the 1998 N64 title The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Her true identity is Ze— I won't spoil it for you. (Wii U only, also included in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)

Palutena's Guidance

• Pit: I wish I knew Sheik's true identity.
• Palutena: It is one of the great mysteries of our time.
• Viridi: Are you guys for real? You can't be serious.
• Palutena: Compared to the other fighters, Sheik moves very quickly. Don't get overwhelmed by Sheik's speed, especially one-on-one.

amiibo

Disguised as part of the Sheikah tribe that populates Hyrule, Sheik taught Link essential ocarina melodies and then vanished in an instant. Why does Sheik look so familiar?

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Palutena's Guidance

• Pit: It's Sheik!
• Palutena: Sheik appears to be wearing a traditional Sheikah outfit this time around.
• Viridi: Ooh! So exotic! That armor is right up my alley. I wonder if it comes in a children's small...
• Pit: I always get nervous when Sheik gets close. If I make one wrong move, I'll get pummeled with a flurry of quick attacks!
• Palutena: His attacks may be fast, but they aren't very strong. That's why he'll try to end the fight quickly. He's also very light, so focus on launching Sheik at lower damage percentages.
• Viridi: And he doesn't have much reach, so keep your distance until you're ready to rush him with your Upperdash Arm.
• Pit: Good advice! But...you guys do know Sheik is just Zelda, right? In disguise? Wait, is there a new timeline?!
