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.
