The Legend of Zelda/WMG/Sheik: Difference between revisions

Any and all theories relating to Sheik and the ancient Sheikah race from [[Video Game/Ocarina Of Time|Ocarina Ofof Time]] go here.

** 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.

If you think about it wouldn't it make sense? Ganondorf is supposedly a very [[Magic Knight|accomplished sorcerer]] and wouldn't you think that [[Magic aA Is Magic A|he could just track Zelda's]] [[Life Energy|Spirit Energy/Life Force/Brain Waves/Magic Signature]], and what is the best way to avoid this? Become someone else, [[Distaff Counterpart|Sheik is actually a male Sheikah]] whether he turn into him by [[Gender Bender|magic]] or [[Wholesome Crossdresser|modifications]] (Myself is leaning towards the former) is separate and aware of Zelda. this is why he can follow her plans out while still having the perfect disguise. It is possible [[Loss of Identity|the mental trauma of losing her kingdom split them up]], her being such [[The High Queen|an empathetic person and only thinking about her citizens most of the time]] would likely feel the need to reinvent herself to combat the new threat from a different perspective, and what other perspective could she possibly see through? Impa's, her being a nanny/bodyguard for a long time, and even that makes sense, nannies essentially raise royalties children so [[Parental Substitute|Impa must have been like a mother to her]]. So Zelda's split personality reinvisioned herself into what she would have been like if she was the child of Impa and also something to help her in her quest to reclaim her kingdom.

*** The manga [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity|sucks]] for that very reason. That and because it did not give Zelda any justice. [[Adaptation Decay|It's worse]].

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.

*** 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.
