Aesthetics
Sheik's model features a more subdued color scheme. Her hair now has simple detailing, similar to Brawl.- Sheik now wears the Sheikah Set from Breath of the Wild, including the long white scarf of the Stealth Mask.
- Sheik has a new voice that sounds deeper and more masculine than previously.
Attributes
Like all characters, Sheik's jumpsquat animation now takes three frames to complete.- Due to the removal of perfect pivots, Sheik's tilt combos would have been removed, however, being able to do anything out of dash allows these combos to still exist, albeit in a different method.
Ground attacks
- Forward smash has slightly more range, and the first hit more reliably links into the second hit.
- Down smash is executed considerably faster.
Aerial attacks
- Forward aerial has slightly more range, improving its spacing utility.
- Up aerial deals slightly more knockback.
- Back aerial deals noticeably higher knockback, making it a viable KO move at higher percents.
Throws/other attacks
- Her pummel has a new animation - a knee jab.
- Her new pummel is faster.
Forward throw and down throw deal slightly more knockback, reducing their combo potential.
Special Moves
- Needle Storm charges slower, and the charge can no longer be immediately canceled.
- Aerial Needle Storm has less end lag, allowing for potential followups.
- Burst Grenade no longer leaves Sheik helpless when used in the air. Its vortex has changed from a light blue color to clear/white, which may make it harder for opponents to see.
- Vanish no longer grants invincibility right before executing the move.
- Sheik now emits a gold flash right before she vanishes.
- Bouncing Fish has slightly more startup lag.
- Bouncing Fish deals slightly more knockback.
- Bouncing Fish now produces a splash of water at the start.
- Sheik has a new Final Smash, replacing Light Arrow. She lashes out while the Sheikah symbol flashes on-screen. If the attack lands, Sheik will trap the opponent and repeatedly slash them with her dagger before launching them away, similar to Triforce Slash.

Trivia
- Sheik is currently referred to with male pronouns on the Smash Blog [1] despite being referred to with female pronouns in every Smash appearance thus far, as well as on various other official Nintendo social websites.[2][3][4] This may be an error.
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate marks the first time in any video game where Sheik is shown using her dagger.
- Ironically, she no longer appears to have the dagger on her person like in previous iterations.
- It is also the first time she has a different Final Smash from her alter-ego, Zelda.
