Profile

The youth known as Sheik appeared in Hyrule after Link returned to the Temple of Time. Sheik plays their harp to teach Link melodies instrumental to his quest to defeat Ganon. Sheik had always kept their face masked and voice muffled. So Link had no way of knowing their true identity.

Trivia

• Sheik's portrait on the character selection screen is based on her artworkMedia:Sheik OoT.png from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
• Sheik's intro tagline "Sheik Leaps From The Shadows!!!" is a reference to the Sheikah Tribe's ninja-like qualities. Also a reference to the Shadow Temple, a place used by the Sheikah to interrogate enemies of the Royal Family of Hyrule. Might also be a nod to the Nocturne of Shadow, a song that Sheik teaches Link to reach the Shadow Temple in Kakariko Village, which is where Sheik's Remix reveal trailer took place.
• Sheik's polygon variant largely resembles Impa's design from Ocarina of Time, albeit with a different head design.
