Vanish (浮身, Floating Body) is Sheik's up special move. It involves her throwing a Deku Nut and vanishing into thin air. Using the Control Stick, the player can determine where Sheik will reappear by tilting in a certain direction. Vanish does not go as far as Farore's Wind, but Melee players occasionally transform into Zelda to gain greater recovery distance by using Zelda's Farore's Wind to recover, transforming back to Sheik once safely on stage. This is much more dangerous in Brawl, as the transformation time takes much longer, generally leaving Zelda too far below to recover. The initial explosion deals damage and knockback, and is capable of KOing at around 120%, but has noticeable startup lag. However, Sheik is granted invincibility frames during the start up lag.
The re-entry of Sheik's Vanish has a very small push effect. This can be seen as it moves an opponent further than simply landing on them would. It has just enough push to knock someone, standing near the edge, off it, causing them to cliff-hang.
This can be used downwards, in the air to stop potential ground guarding. On the ground, this can be used to mess with opponents and clear space when fighting close range.
In Super Smash Bros. 4, Vanish now causes damage to any opponents hit by Sheik's Deku Nut explosion, and wherever she reappears, similar to Farore's Wind. Both hits burn the opponent and deal moderate knockback, sometimes enough to K.O. at the lower 100's. In midair, Sheik flips and rises a little before Vanishing, slightly increasing the move's distance, and in some cases, let her grab the ledge before even disappearing.
Customization
Special Move customization was added in Super Smash Bros. 4. These are the known variations:
- Instant Warp (known as Gale in the PAL version): Larger movement range but no explosion or damage potential.
- Abyss: Explosion knocks upward with a meteor effect. Possible to hit enemies again after initial explosion. No height gain before explosion.
Origin
Sheik often vanished in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, much to Link's bafflement. However, sometimes fire or sand concealed her disappearance while she quickly threw the Deku Nut on the ground. Impa, the only other Sheikah in the game, could perform this ability; it is one of the "Sheikah arts".

Trivia
- Since the explosion graphic and hitbox stays behind while Sheik moves, it is technically considered a projectile.
