{{about|[[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]'s alter ego|mouse character from [[Paper Mario]]|[[Moustafa|Sheek]]}}
'''Sheik''' is the alter ego of [[Princess Zelda]] in ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', a major game in [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. Throughout the game, Sheik would appear unexpectedly and aid [[Link]] in his quest in defeating [[Ganondorf]]. Link (and the player) do not discover that Sheik is Zelda, until near the game's finale. Her appearance is very androgynous, and was made that way in order to make the reveal at the end more surprising. Because of this, she has been referred to as both male and female by other characters as well as in certain descriptions, but is canonically female. She serves as a playable fighter in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. In the first two games, using the [[Transform]] move, Zelda could become Sheik mid-battle, but in the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U games and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Sheik is a separate character.

====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
[[File:MeleeShiek.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.95|Artwork for ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Sheik (SSBM)}}
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Zelda is able to use her down special move [[#Transform|Transform]] to turn herself into Sheik at any point, or automatically at the start of a match by holding down A on the stage select screen, giving her a completely different moveset and playstyle. Compared to Zelda, Sheik is more agile, with quick movements and attacks, but she lacks Zelda's power. The lone exception is her up smash, which has a sweetspot that can hit twice for about 30%.
Sheik's standard special move is [[#Needle Storm|Needle Storm]], in which she gathers and tosses needles at opponents. Her side special move is [[#Chain|Chain]], in which she tosses a chain that can grab opponents. Her up special move is [[#Vanish|Vanish]], in which, similar to Zelda's [[Princess Zelda#Farore's Wind|Farore's Wind]], Sheik disappears in an explosion and reappears in a different location depending on the direction held. Finally, her down special move is Transform, which turns her back into Zelda.
According to the [[Star Rod (Kirby)|Star Rod]]'s trophy information, it has most power when Sheik or [[Captain Falcon]] perform a smash attack with it.
Unlike the other ''[[ZeldaWiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' characters, Sheik can actually speak, though this is exclusive to the Japanese version of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''.
{{br|left}}
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Sheik (SSBB)}}
[[File:Sheik SSBB.png|frame|left]]
Sheik returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', with the same role as before. Matching with Zelda's design, Sheik's design in this game is based upon unused concept artwork for ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''. In this game, Sheik can now be chosen from the character select screen, by choosing Zelda and selecting Sheik's portrait. Sheik is voiced by Jun Mizusawa, who also did the voice of her counterpart, Zelda.
Sheik retains weak attacks and a powerful up smash; her down smash, however, can now hit twice, allowing for 23% damage. Many of Shiek's attacks deal less knockback, but her mobility is improved as compensation.
Sheik can now [[Wall Jump|wall jump]] and crawl; additionally, her Chain move can be used as a tether recovery. In addition, she shares her [[Final Smash]] with Zelda, [[#Light Arrow|Light Arrow]], though Sheik's Light Arrow deals greater damage and knocks back at a more horizontal angle than Zelda's.
=====The Subspace Emissary=====
[[File:SubspaceIntro-Sheik.png|thumb|left|Sheik's introduction in The Subspace Emissary]]
At any point in The Subspace Emissary at which the player can control Zelda, they can transform into Sheik using the Transform move, and vice versa. However, Sheik is not properly introduced until later in the story.
After being turned into [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]] and kidnapped, [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] are being held in cages in the [[Halberd]], until they are freed by [[Meta Knight]], [[Lucario]], and [[Solid Snake|Snake]]. Snake tells them to stay where they are, but Zelda transforms into Shiek and sneaks out of the room with Peach, moving around the outside of the Halberd until they reach the main deck. While [[Fox McCloud|Fox]] is battling the Halberd in his [[Arwing]], he almost blasts Peach, prompting Sheik to appear on top of his Arwing and attack him. Both of them leap down onto the bridge and start to fight, but Peach stops them by offering them both tea. While this is happening, Snake punches the [[Mr. Game & Watch]] copies onto the deck from the bridge, the [[Shadow Bug]]s forming together into [[Duon]]. Sheik, Fox, and Peach, along with Snake, Lucario, and Falco, fight Duon, and after it is defeated the Trophy of the actual [[Mr. Game & Watch]] appears, which Peach returns to normal. After this point, the rest of The Subspace Emissary's storyline features Zelda.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''====
[[File:SheikSSB4.png|thumb|150px|Sheik's artwork for ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Sheik (SSB4)}}
{{quote2|Sheik Appears on the Scene!|Introduction|Super Smash Bros. Direct}}
Sheik is now a separate character from Zelda in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. This means she and Zelda can no longer transform between each other. Instead of transforming, her down special move is now a move called [[#Bouncing Fish|Bouncing Fish]], in which she leaps with a backflip and strikes with the heel of her foot. In addition, her side special has been changed to [[#Burst Grenade|Burst Grenade]], in which she tosses a small grenade attached to a string that explodes after a certain time. Like many other veteran characters in the game, Sheik's mobility has significantly improved from ''Brawl''; on the flipside, her overall damage output is toned down to a degree.
====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''====
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Sheik (SSBU)}}
Sheik returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' this time as an unlockable playable character. She has a new Final Smash, Sheikah Dance, in which she stuns any opponents in front of her (as the Sheikah symbol briefly appears) and deals multiple slashes with her knife while constantly vanishing and reappearing around them, culminating with a final blow that launches them away. Her outfit in this game resembles the [[zeldawiki:Armor|Stealth Chest Guard and Stealth Tights]] from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]''. She also received newly recorded, masculine voice clips, voiced by Ayumi Fujimura, Zelda's voice actress in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'', rather than Jun Mizusawa, her voice actress in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', as well as past ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.
Like all other characters in the game, Sheik benefits from universal changes: her already-incredible mobility is improved; her short hop timing is reduced; her aerial attacks have less landing lag; she can directionally air dodge once again; and she can use any grounded attack out of a run and any of her aerials while climbing ladders. However, her damage output receives a harsher downgrade.
As with the other ''The Legend of Zelda'' fighters, Sheik's victory theme is now  the different arrangement of the main theme from the series.

====Special moves====
=====Needle Storm=====
[[File:Sheik Needle Storm Wii U.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Needle Storm in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Needle Storm}}
'''Needle Storm''' is Sheik's standard special move. Sheik gathers up to six needles, which can be thrown at any point by pressing. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Sheik charges by holding down the special move button and throws by releasing it, but in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', Sheik charges by simply pressing the button, and can attack by pressing again. Like most charging special moves, Sheik can stop charging by shielding or rolling.
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', Needle Storm has two custom variants that can be unlocked: '''Penetrating Needles''' and '''Paralyzing Needle''' ('''Paralysing Needle''' in the PAL version). Penetrating Needles throws only three needles, but they are able to go through opponents and deal electric damage, while Paralyzing Needle throws a single needle that cannot be charged, takes longer to throw, and deals less damage but is able to stun opponents that are hit.

[[File:Sheik'sbforwardmove.jpg|thumb|left|Chain in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Chain}}
'''Chain''' is Sheik's side special move in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. When used, Sheik throws a chain out in front of herself; the player can control the direction the chain is thrown using the control stick. If the chain hits at the tip, it deals electric damage. In ''Brawl'', Chain can also be used as a [[tether recovery]].

=====Burst Grenade=====
[[File:SSB4 WiiU BurstGrenade.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.4|The Burst Grenade in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Burst Grenade}}
'''Burst Grenade''' is Sheik's side special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', replacing her Chain move from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. When used, Sheik pulls out her chain, which has a small grenade on the end of it. After a short amount of time, the grenade will transform into a small vortex that can pull in nearby opponents, then a explosion will occur.
Two custom variants can be unlocked in both games: the '''Gravity Grenade''', which doesn't transform into a vortex but knocks any opponents caught in the explosion towards Sheik, and the '''Skimming Grenade''', which bounces along the ground and explodes faster than the Burst Grenade.

=====Vanish=====
[[File:Sheik Vanish Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Vanish in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Vanish}}
'''Vanish''' is Sheik's up special move. Functioning similar to [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]'s [[Princess Zelda#Farore's Wind|Farore's Wind]], Sheik throws a [[Deku Nut]] onto the ground and vanishes, reappearing in a location dependent on the direction the player holds on the control stick. If used in the air, Sheik leaps up a little before vanishing. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', the Deku Nut explosion and Sheik's reappearance now damage opponents.
''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' also gives this move two custom variants. The first variant is '''Gale''' (originally named '''Instant Warp'''),{{ref needed}} which increases the speed of the warp but removes the explosion, meaning that the move cannot damage. The second is '''Abyss''', which is slower but any opponents hit are knocked into the air and [[meteor smash]]ed.

=====Transform=====
[[File:Shiek's Transform Move.jpg|thumb|left|Sheik using Transform in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Transform}}
'''Transform''' is the down special move of both Zelda and Sheik in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Using the move transforms Sheik into Zelda, and vice versa. In ''Melee'', the transformation is faster as both characters are loaded at all times; in ''Brawl'', however, the transformation is longer since the game needs to load the other character separately mid-battle. During the transformation, the "puzzle solved" tune from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' can be heard. Taking damage while the move is in progress immediately cancels the transformation.

=====Bouncing Fish=====
[[File:Sheik Bouncing Fish Wii U.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Bouncing Fish in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Bouncing Fish}}
'''Bouncing Fish''' is Sheik's down special move in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', replacing her Transform move from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' due to the elimination of in-battle transformation moves. It is visually similar to [[Zero Suit Samus]]'s [[Zero Suit Samus#Flip Jump|Flip Jump]] special move, as it involves Sheik leaping forward with a kick. If the kick lands, the opponent receives high knockback, and Sheik rebounds backwards in a higher arc than the original. If the player presses the special move button again after the first kick lands, Sheik can perform a second kick.
In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', the first custom variant, '''Jellyfish''', covers much more height and is slightly slower than Bouncing Fish, and also knocks the opponent in the air, allowing Sheik to easily kick a second time. The second custom variant, '''Pisces''', moves fast and covers the most distance, although the kick is optional when performed on the ground.

=====Light Arrow=====
[[File:Sheik Light Arrow Wii U.JPG|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Sheik's Light Arrow in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Light Arrow}}
'''[[zeldawiki:Light Arrow|Light Arrow]]''' is both Zelda and Sheik's [[Final Smash]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. When used, Sheik pulls out a bow and arrow, based on [[zeldawiki:Zelda's Bow|Zelda's Bow]] from [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'']], and strings the arrow back. The arrow is then fired in a stage-wide straight line, damaging and launching opponents caught in the line of fire. Like Zelda's Light Arrow, Sheik's can fire through opponents' shields as well as any walls and obstacles, and opponents that are closer to her receive more damage and greater knockback than those further away. Additionally, while Zelda's Light Arrow sends opponents flying upward, Sheik's Light Arrow sends them at a more horizontal angle.

===''Super Mario Maker''===
[[File:SMM Sheik.png|frame]]
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', one of the 8-bit [[Costume Mario|costumes]] [[Mario]] can receive from a [[Mystery Mushroom]] is Sheik, which can be unlocked either with a Sheik amiibo or by clearing 100 Mario Challenge on Normal difficulty. All of Sheik's sounds are from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. The costume's transformation sound is the sound clip that plays when collecting an important item. Pressing {{button|wii|Padup}} will have her turn into [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] (using her sprite in this game based on ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess''), which briefly plays "Zelda's Lullaby" as it would sound on Link's ocarina. The sound that plays when she jumps is her voice clip when throwing a [[Deku Nut]] before disappearing. The death tune is Sheik's theme, and when clearing a level, the theme in which Link initially meets Zelda plays.

*'''Palutena''': His attacks may be fast, but they aren't very strong. That's why he'll try to end the fight quickly. He's also very light, so focus on launching Sheik at lower damage percentages.
*'''Viridi''': And he doesn't have much reach, so keep your distance until you're ready to rush him with your Upperdash Arm.
*'''Pit''': Good advice! But...you guys do know Sheik is just Zelda, right? In disguise? Wait, is there a new timeline?!

==Trivia==
{{NIWA|SmashWiki=1|ZeldaWiki=1}}
*Sheik's name can be seen in the [[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Nintendo 64]] and [[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color]] versions of ''Mario Golf'' on the game scoreboard in Tournament mode.
*Sheik never gets turned into a trophy in the main story of the Subspace Emissary. Likewise, [[Zero Suit Samus]], [[Squirtle]], and [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]] never get turned into trophies either.
*In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Sheik ends up sending opponents flying vertically with the [[Home-Run Bat]]. Therefore, she needs to transform into [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] to use the Home-Run Bat properly in the Home-Run Contest.
