While this move does not pull directly from any particular ''Zelda'' game, the Sheikah eye symbol represents the {{s|zeldawiki|Sheikah}} clan, which [[Princess Zelda]] claims to belong to while in the Sheik persona. In official artwork for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', Sheik is depicted fighting various monsters with a dagger alongside [[Link]], but in the actual game she is not depicted fighting in any capacity. Sheik uses kunai daggers for her basic attack string in ''{{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule Warriors}}'', in which she uses a highly acrobatic fighting style that involves attacking the same enemy from multiple angles, which may have inspired this Final Smash.

Notably, Sheik has carried a dagger on her person in previous ''Smash'' games, but has never used it in her moveset; ironically, any such dagger is absent outside of this Final Smash in ''Ultimate''. The dagger somewhat resembles the Sheikah-made {{s|zeldawiki|Eightfold Blade}} and {{s|zeldawiki|Eightfold Longblade}} from ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'', though it is not a perfect match for either.
