Any and all theories relating to Sheik and the ancient Sheikah race from [[
== Sheik isn't male ''or'' female ==
Line 10:
...because Zelda's transformation is [[Gender Bender|anatomically correct]].
* Not quite. OOT Zelda is [[Pettanko|pretty flat]] even in her character art, so the lack of breasts isn't that odd. What is odd is that the supposedly male sheik is wearing a extremely skin tight body suit, yet lacks any kind of........ visible bulge down below.
** Yes, and note that the bulge-lack is probably NOT due the game being childfriendly, since even [[Lighter and Softer|TWW Link]] has one down there. Yes. It's visible under his tunic when you're making him crawl.
*** Don't forget Tingle... Freaking Tingle.
** However, it's very clear that Zelda's transformation into Sheik is a magical one, and vice-versa. In [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]], the transformation takes less than a second. In Super Smash Brothers Melee, it's kind of a crouching-spinning thing with magical aura. If the transformation itself is magical, why is it so farfetched to think that it's a gender transformation? Also, if Sheik and Zelda are the same person, why can Sheik fight when Zelda can't? (Admit it. Sheik would have been far, far more useful in the fight against Ganondorf than Zelda was.)
Line 43:
**** Not quite in the case of Sheik. Remember when she got attacked by Bongo Bongo? That's clearly a female voice, because in this state of pain, she could not imitate her boyish voice.
** The Ocarina of Time manga offers that Impa magically made Zelda into an actual man.
*** The manga [[Canon
*** Nope. Brainwashing her to think she's a dude =/= physically making her into one. No need to bash the manga, either.
*** The manga has Sheik covering "his" chest upon regaining consciousness at one point, and Link noting that Sheik has a much more small and fragile physique than he expected for a warrior. How people figure the manga supports Sheik and Zelda ''not'' being the same person is anyone's guess.
Line 73:
== The Lokomo are descendants of the Sheikah. ==
When ancient Hyrule was flooded, everybody fleed to the newly created mountain tops, except for Impa and her remaining Sheikah (who were probably not that much anyway), who were instead led to the land that would become new Hyrule by the goddesses. The goddesses ordered them to protect this new land, until the hero and Princess Zelda can arrive and told them to serve this new lands guardian spirits. Just as the people of Hyrule forgot about their heritage over time, the Sheikah left behind their past as servants of the Hylians as well after some time and took on the new identity as Lokomo. What brings me to this theory are three things: First, their incredible knowledge of history and legends and good connections to the royal family (traits that used to be attributed to the Sheikah), second the fact that all of their songs and instruments just remind me on Sheik's harp and, third... Bryne. It was never outright stated, but given that he was Anjean's pupil, I guess that he's Lokomo as well. A young one, OK, but still a Lokomo. And what does he look like? Face half-covered: Like Sheik. Oddly colored eyes. (Maybe the red eyes of the Sheikah faded out to yellow over the generations.) Last, his fighting style: Nobody can tell me, that this is not Sheikah fighting style. And he was taught by Anjean, which means that all Lokomo fight like this when they are not sitting in their wheel chairs. Lastly, he uses a hookshoot. Where did Link in ''Ocarina of Time'' find his Hookshot again? In Kakariko, village of the Sheikah.
** It's pretty heavily implied by Anjean at the end of the game that Byrne is a Lokomo as well, so that holds true. And there's definitely a connection to music - the Lokomo have their songs and instruments, and several in-game songs in Ocarina of Time are implied to be Sheikah in origin - the Nocturne of Shadow takes you to the Shadow Temple, the Song of Storms is learnt in Kakariko, the Sun Song is by Flat and Sharp, who are also alleged to be Sheikah, and if the Sheikah are the traditional guardians (and nursemaids) of young princesses, perhaps even Zelda's Lullaby is, as well. And to add to it, nearly all the races in Ocarina of Time have representation in this timeline. The Hylians and Gorons stay as-is, the Gerudo possibly begin to intermix with Hylians and Humans (you can't tell me Jolene doesn't have Gerudo ancestry!), the Zoras become the Rito, and the Kokiri become the Koroks. What of the Sheikah? Nothing - unless they became the Lokomo.
*** But aren't the Sheikah all dead? Impa is referred to as the "last of the Sheikah", and there's mention by the talking walls in the Shadow Temple about how the Sheikah were killed during the Great War.
*** Then again, the Lokomo could have been descended from a different tribe of Sheikah that was never affiliated with the original royal family and therefore never got themselves wiped out in the Great War.
