it's not like we're suggesting that sheik has been hanging around ganondorf like in the manga, g-dog being unaware all the while of her identity. presumably sheik also allows zelda stealth.

Oh please, they even drew a womb at Sheik's tummy, now doesn't that say all? Only the weird part is o_o the manga say's Sheik's a male. x_x but I believe Oot the game Sheik's a female! Japanese people love to see a woman crossdressing a male.

Her body looks like Sheik's body! Zelda's body is just been buffed up by Impa! :lmao:

On a similar note: Does Link change into a female when he uses the fairy spell in AoL?


Yes. And in OoA he becomes asexual with his Mermenedness.

I believe so. As for Sheik, it's simple to say that there's a Shadow Hal thing going on, and there's a glamour on her to make her look and talk and appear as a man to everyone. Yeah.

Typical four elements junk...

Just for the record, that is not actually an anime. It's Nickelodeon's attempt at making an anime. Just like the other stupid fake animes like Cartoon Network's Totally Spies and Teen Titans crap.

But onto Sheik...

The only real clues to what Sheik was were these two quotes...

"A young man named Sheik saved
me from under the ice..."

and...

"I apologize for meeting you in
disguise, but it was necessary to
hide from the King of Evil.
Please forgive me..."

It's obvious that she is meant to look like a "young man" or "若者" as he is called in that quote. 若者(wakamono) translates to "young man, youth, or lad."

The key to the second quote is the use of "disguise". Disguise is defined as "To modify the manner or appearance of in order to prevent recognition." In the Japanese version "偽り" is used. 偽り(itsuwari) translates to a "lie, falsehood, fabrication, or fiction."

I personally believe that she was meant to have transformed herself into a male, but it seems like it was purposely left open for some speculation. (in both the Japanese and English editions) It just adds to the mystery that is Sheik.

for the last damn time, nearly all that 'wannabe anime' is either actually made in part by a real mangaka (teen titans) or isn't american in the first place (totally spies and such) so nyeh!

Maybe the actual animators are Japanese, but the creators and story people aren't. And that is much more critical to an anime than the animation. And story is exactly what fake anime is lacking. That and they overexaggerate all the little cliche anime things.

Regardless, that comment about the "lie" thing sways me to disguise only, but if you look at everything else...uh uh. It's a boy, ladies and gents.

everyone steals chun-li's pose. it's tradition. -everyone- you're telling me you've never seen that outside of streetfighter before? if anything that makes it more like authentic anime. XD but it's french canadian.. or just french. i forget which.
wtf is this sheik has a womb stuff? wombs arent visible >.> sheik has the body of a man.
i could buy this 'shallow hal' idea though... that it's all a suggestive illusion.. but that doesnt explain how it fools people like ganondorf, who can almost certainly see through stuff like that.

And what bugs me the most is that it shouldn't matter whether she was trying to con Ganon or not.

If he's so all powerful, then he should be able to sense the magic emenating from her, regardless of what form she's in, unless she has some sort of mystic Jedi-like powers of deception.

He can't because I don't think the triforce of power has the ability for that, I think only wisdom would have to do with the mind. The weird part is, Ganon searched for young girls in Windwaker. While Zelda was dressed up as a male in Oot. Who say's she isn't dressed up again like a male? :lol: I mean she tricked him once! She could have tricked him twice, and Ganon would never found out!

I heard that in the japanese version Sheik is a guy, and in the american version Sheik is a female.

Ha, I thought Zelda physicly changed into a boy. SSBM further implied this onto me. Besides, how could she change her clothes so quickly in OoT?

Ok, those bodybuilding women look a bit like sheik... because of friggin' steroids. in fact, from that lady's skeletal structure.. it'd have to have been from an early age. no hips, wide shoulders, flat muscular chest.. but it's about as plausible that zelda turns into -that- as a male.

Magic, Duh. At first looking at in game footage I wouldve said that Sheik could pass off as zelda dressed up. But the official art leaves no question that she turns into a boy. Ganon turns into a pig so why cant she turn into a boy? Makes more sense than a pig.

shiek is a female


when you see Ruto in the Water Temple, she says that she was rescued by a young man


She only THOUGHT it was a "young man", she was confused, just as you all r now

Sheik's a dude, end of story. That quote you provided states it, and there's no reason to doubt the game. Even if it were just a clothes (and eyes) change, the character of Sheik is male.

I saw this cool flash called the Real legend of Zelda Oot. Links a dumb ass, Navi is a bad ass, and instead of epona link rides a donkey. Anyway heres what they said when they met shiek.

Navi:Zelda what are you doing here

Shiek: Im not Zelda

Navi: Your a girl

Shiek: I am.. I mean im not a a girl

Navi: well are you gay i mean you have to be a girl or gay to ware sutch tight pants.

Shiek: :mad: IM NOT GAY, any ways im here to help him not you.

*Link with his finger up his nose*

Any way its on Newgrounds that i know of and its so cool hes going to finish it but he just came out with Ep. 2

This might be off topic but it is a little comedy about Shieks gender.
