Sheik is a character from the The Legend of Zelda universe, and is Zelda disguised as Shiek for helping Link giving him tips and playing beautiful songs in the game, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, for the Nintendo 64.
See Sheik (SSBM) and Sheik (SSBB) for fighter info.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee
- Main article: Sheik (SSBM)
Sheik is one of the new characters introduced in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Rather than being added as a full-fledged character, she is a transformation of Princess Zelda; Zelda is the only character in Melee to possess such an ability, though Samus gains one very similar to it in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Sheik is considered to be a top-tier character, due to her swiftness, agility, and surprisingly powerful smash attacks. Sheik is such a good character that many consider her to be broken, especially when one takes into consideration the fact that she's supposed to serve as a supplement to Zelda, who's a considerably slower fighter whose moves tend to have a lot of lag.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
- Main artical: Sheik (SSBB)
When Princess Zelda was confirmed as a playable character in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl, players were introduced to a redesigned Zelda based off the model used in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. This Twilight Princess-influenced incarnation of Zelda led to many debates about whether or not Sheik would return. On one side of the argument, many claimed that because Sheik did not appear in Twilight Princess, Zelda should not be able to transform into Sheik as Sheik didn't exist in that game. Many cited the fact that Link's special moves were reworked to feature more Twilight Princess-related qualities as evidence that the latest entry in the Legend of Zelda franchise would be the game focused on in Brawl.
On the other side, many felt that the Zelda in the Super Smash Bros. series is not supposed to be any specific Zelda from the Legend of Zelda series; rather, she is an amalgam of all Zeldas, past and present. Since this Zelda has already exhibited the ability to transform into Sheik, there should be nothing preventing her from retaining this trait in Brawl.
The debate was settled with the revelation of Sheik's inclusion in Famitsu's review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Shortly thereafter, the official Super Smash Bros. website confirmed Sheik with its January 16th update. Sheik's special moves have not been changed, though she now uses a slightly different, Twilight Princess-inspired design. Of note is the fact that design was sent to Sakurai by Eiji Aonuma, director of Twilight Princess; it was initially created for Twilight Princess, but plans to bring Sheik back were later scrapped, rendering the model obsolete until the development of Brawl.
