Posted 9 Jul 2007 I'd like to clear up the matter on Sheik. Sheik is a guy. I have proof. I didn't want to believe it either, but I'll just have to go with it too. There has been large confusion over Sheik and, despite right answers, no-one shows proof to anyone, therefore the arguement continues. About a couple years ago, I did in fact stumble upon proof, but I waited to post it somewhere else. My good, (Well, we kinda' know each other) friend over at IGN boards helped me out. (Where have you gone? ;_; You rocked!) Anyways, I used to be like most. I beleived Sheik was female, purely because I followed innacurate sources. To clear this up, I'll explain. 1]. The Manga is not relevant. It is not written by Nintendo. 2]. Sheik's Smash Trophy isn't relevant either, as Sheik's appearance there is a cameo. Now, I will state most of the reasons that some thought Sheik was female. Which will be disproved here. One, most thought that since Zelda isn't as flat-chested as some, they thought that a part of Zelda's outfit change was bandages to bind her breasts, as some do that for disguises, plays, or combat, so they don't restrict their movement while fighting. Another theory was based off of Super Smash Brothers. Some thought she could change her eye color using her magic, along with her hair color. But I don't think even magic can change your bone structure. (Don't ask how I have the fairy Ocarina as an adult; I don't. Not my picture.) All males have the characteristic of having their shoulder much wider than their hips, mostly because of the hormones preventing the growth of the hips and supporting the growth of the shoulder area. Women always have their shoulders around the same size as their hips, because the hips' growth is supported for child birth. Even Impa follows this rule. Zelda is much paler than Sheik, Sheik's hair is darker, and shorter, and Sheik has the Sheikah's red eyes. Much have used the "SSBM says she (Zelda) may be able to change her appearance by magical means", and I have this to say: Zelda may have powerful magical use, but she cannot alter bone structure, else she'd have to grow other things... My only theory is that she's changing into another person. (Thanks to Kiera2 of IGN boards for settling this! WHERE HAVE YOU GONE!? ;_; ) Thanks for reading!

Sahaqiel Ok, if Zelda is Shiek, as is stated in Ocarina of Time... Then how is Shiek possibly male? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 Jul 2007 No problem=) And i've always thought that sheik was a boy.... but finally some hard proof=) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 Jul 2007 I'm saying that Zelda turns into another person who likely existed. Female's shoulders are not wider than their hips, unless they're some sort of tranvestite, but we all know Shigeru isn't THAT sick in the head. (Though I think if you shoot an arrow at the Desert Collosus' breasts, they jiggle... And if you hookshot where her nipples should be, it works... O_O) Point is, unless Zelda had male parts that can be hidden and her bones are retractable, then Sheik is male. Sahaqiel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 9 Jul 2007 Unless it's just a really really good disguise... or the sprite was drawn that way to make us think it was a guy untill Zelda revealed herself... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 Jul 2007 3D games don't use sprites for character models. They use body frames. Either way, even ni the official art his shoulders were wider. In the game his shoulders were wider. In the fanart AND game Zelda's hips were around the same size. I just think Sheik was an actual person. Albeit, probably with another name. Sahaqiel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 Jul 2007 sorry about that... mixed up the word model for sprite... anyway, the offivcial art is based on the game model, and fan art doesn't count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 9 Jul 2007 what the...? I have to try that! Same here!! Oh, if you say Miyamoto ain't sick enough to put transvestites in his games, just look at Falbi. *Shrugs.* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
