Sheik Updated October 30, 2001 Sheik, one of the descendants of the Sheikah tribe. I've kept this a secret until now, but "Sheik can transform into Zelda"! To put it another way, "Zelda" exists as a fighter you can choose. Rather, Zelda is the character, and she can transform into Sheik as one of her special moves. The input is Down + B. So with her down special, you can transform between Zelda/Sheik. When you Transform, everything from her traits, to her attacks, and specials, change. That's great. And Sheik’s elegant, flowing moves are so fun. You can have 3 bowls of rice alone. The reason her specials are written in kanji is because I wanted to reinforce her image as a "warrior from another world". Her moves are ninja-like as well, and a lot of them require a lot of flexibility. When I was trying to communicate her movements, “twist her body more!” might have been a catchphrase of mine… It was also difficult for the motion team to understand her character, so it was pretty difficult overall. Zelda will be covered in the next reveal. SW:1226 Note Descriptions from images in this gallery are written here instead of on individual pages. ▲Sheik appears! ▲Vanish. A teleport move that leaves behind an explosion. ▲The 2 shot. ▲Chain. Control it and elegantly keep your enemies away! ▲Needle Storm. Even seeing them is pretty difficult. ▲And the transformation into Zelda! We’ll cover Zelda next time.
