One of our favorite characters from both The Legend of Zelda universe and Super Smash Bros. is the deadly, face-masked Sheik, who first appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (and Super Smash Bros. Melee outside of the Zelda games). Although Sheik appears to be a male Sheikah, the latter of which is a clandestine tribe of people in the Zelda universe with even more arcane magic abilities, Sheik is in fact a persona of Princess Zelda.
Cosplayer Faelia brings the mysterious Sheik to life in the following image gallery; perhaps the most impressive facet of the Sheik cosplay, besides her pointy ears,
Sheik also appears as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors, a Legend of Zelda spinoff for the Nintendo Wii U. Hyrule Warriors will see another installment for the Nintendo Switch called Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, a hack and slash, context-based combat game under development from the Zelda team and Koei Tecmo. The game will take place 100 years before Breath of the Wild.
“Time passes, people move… Like a river’s flow, it never ends… A childish mind will turn to noble ambition… Young love will become deep affection… The clear water’s surface reflects growth…” — Sheik
Further reinforcing the similarities in her appearance to a ninja, Sheik will often disappear in a cloud of smoke she surrounds herself in after throwing down Deku Nuts like a smokebomb.
