Overview
Sheik is a character in SSBM. She transforms from Zelda by using Down+B (Transform), and can transform back into Zelda at any time. By holding A at the start of a match (hold it when hitting start from the Stage Selection screen or from the Character Selection screen if stage is set to Random), you'll automatically transform into Sheik at the start of a match.
Unbeknownst to many, Shiek is only a disguise used by Zelda in the Ocarina of Time, and is not in any way a different person.
