::"Marketing manager" is kinda selling Bill Trinen short. He works as personal translator for Miyamoto ([https://killscreen.com/articles/conversation-nintendos-bill-trinen-shigeru-miyamotos-transla/]), so his word on this subject probably has more legitimacy than you are giving him credit for.

::On this wiki, for Sheik's appearance in Smash, we refer to her as female, because her trophies refer to her as female. The number of times they did this is about 4 or 5, while the number of times they referred to her as male is zero. It doesn't matter what is canonically set - although her only canonical appearance was in Ocarina, and she may have only been referred to as male by developer error. The stone which that is set in is far more crumbly than the stone which says she is female. Meanwhile, you have literally everyone from Nintendo who's been asked about it say that she's female, not to mention that Smash has repeatedly referred to her as such, and never as male. And since we generally stick to whatever the Smash data tells us, the claim that she is female is here to stay, whether you like it or not. Can I make that any simpler? [[User:Black Vulpine|Black Vulpine]] ([[User talk:Black Vulpine|talk]]) 00:11, 8 May 2017 (EDT)
:::Okay, I did misread it, but the point still remains that Sheik has an entire section on her gender and it admits the female thing. Even Aonuma himself is implied to be on board with it. You can't get much more canon than that. [[User:Disaster Flare|<span style="color:Green; text-shadow: 0px 0px 3px green">'''Disaster'''</span> <span style="color:Blue;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px blue">'''Flare'''</span>]] [[File:Disaster Flare signature image.png|20px]] ''[[User talk:Disaster Flare|<span style="color:SkyBlue;text-shadow:0px 0px 3px skyblue">(talk)</span>]]'' 00:04, 8 May 2017 (EDT)
::Two points:<br>
::#Wait, did you just question an article with official information?? Polygon clearly states: '''We asked Nintendo if there was an official word on this, and they answered the call. Nintendo's official line, quoted from Nintendo senior product marketing manager Bill Trinen, is this: "The definitive answer is that Sheik is a woman — simply Zelda in a different outfit."'''.<br>
::#Zelda Wiki refers to Sheik with male pronouns to avoid spoilers from Ocarina of Time - yes, their policies are strict, but we have different policies to them. And as the [[SW:NOT#SmashWiki is not spoiler-safe|SW:NOT]] policy states, we're not a spoiler-free wiki.<br>
::These two points should be enough to put an end to this dispute, so please stop. --[[File:BeepYouSignature.png|40px]] [[User:BeepYou|<font color="Black">'''Beep'''</font>]] [[User talk:BeepYou|<font color="Black">'''(talk)'''</font>]] 00:12, 8 May 2017 (EDT)
:::Speaking about that!! I just re-read the policy to make sure I was correct, and look what I coincidentally found:<br>
:::*The ''Smash Bros.'' games themselves care little for concealing spoilers relating to its represented series. A major example is [[Sheik]]'s true identity, which is a major plot point in ''[[Ocarina of Time]]'', but treated as common knowledge by all the ''Smash Bros.'' games in gameplay and supplemental material (such as trophy descriptions). As a result, users should be aware of the possibility of cross-series spoilers, and browse accordingly.<br>
:::So yea, this is a thing. We are not a spoiler-safe wiki. We go with what the ''Smash Bros.'' games provide us, with little regard for spoilers. This includes Sheik's true identity: '''a girl'''. --[[File:BeepYouSignature.png|40px]] [[User:BeepYou|<font color="Black">'''Beep'''</font>]] [[User talk:BeepYou|<font color="Black">'''(talk)'''</font>]] 00:21, 8 May 2017 (EDT)

::Yeah, that's true, but to address that, let me bring up another point.
::Japanese games with rich lore like Dark Souls suffer from the (I can't think up of another way to put it) imprecise nature of its structure. Often times the localizers will purposefully change the gender or sexual orientation of characters for this reason and the fact that there are white cultural norms the Japanese have to respect in order to sell their games without risking offending the child's papa and mama. Infamously, one of the "female" ghosts in Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door was actually a guy who dressed like a girl, and the fact that [https://www.themarysue.com/metroids-samus-aran-transgender-woman/ Samus was a transgender female was hidden from the public for many years]. —[[User: Tiers_nonexistent|<font color="Magenta">S+ Tier</font>]] ([[User talk: Tiers_nonexistent|<font color="Purple">List</font>]]) <font color="Aqua">|</font> [[File:Isohunt.jpg|20px|link=Special:Contributions/Tiers_nonexistent|Look what I've done!!!]] 00:20, 8 May 2017 (EDT)
