Main WMG page: [[The Legend of Zelda
Any and all theories relating to Sheik and the ancient Sheikah race from [[Video Game/Ocarina Of Time|Ocarina Of Time]] go here.
Line 12:
** 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.)
*** Because just because you "can", doesn't mean you should. Also, do you realize the [[Fridge Horror]] that will result if Zelda changed sex for seven years from early age? And changing back would really mess her up badly. And don't forget the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of Zelda being more capable as a transsexual than as herself. As for your other question, if they had thought of a better role for Zelda after the reveal, they wouldn't have [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot|wasted a perfectly good plot]]. Let's just hope they don't screw her up in the 3DS remake. Also, isn't her voice already a giveaway of her true gender?
**** Men naturally have more upper body strength. Not to say women couldn't as well--just look at female body builders--but having more natural strength would be an incentive to magically transform into a man. Why bind, pad, and change your eye colour, when you could just as easily turn into a man AND gain more strength without severe training?
Line 18:
***** The first thing you said is true, but it's Princess Zelda who we're talking about here. I understand the exile thing and all she went through, but wouldn't all that "magical sex change" for seven years add more salt to the wound? As for your last point, sadly this wasn't planned out properly by the creators of the game, because Sheik looked emotionally strong, but [[Character Derailment|not much]] after she changed back. That, and the [[Fridge Logic]] of not using what she learned near the end of the game make things more complicated.
****** Then surely the easiest explanation is... that, however it came to be, Sheik and Zelda have separate minds and personalities, thus explaining their differences in appearances and actions? (And, as a side effect, it means that Zelda is less likely to be 'traumatised' by having a male body for seven years.) It makes more sense that they were intended to be different instead of accusing Nintendo of getting every single little bit wrong.
******* This is why the manga is considered [[Adaptation Decay]], because instead of choosing to [[The Slow Path|survive all those seven years]] [[Character Development|by herself]], [[Character Derailment|she chose to skip them instead and let "someone else" do the surviving for her]]. [[The Easy Way or
*** Wait, what? This is getting very convoluted. There's not really any evidence of separate entities, a magical transformation doesn't automatically equal a gender bending transformation, and, uh...when in the game is Sheik shown to be a fighter?
*** It's a REMAKE. They can change the game superficially, but they can't alter the plot so drastically as to allow Zelda to NOT be captured by Ganondorf. It isn't possible without completely altering the way the endgame plays out.
Line 28:
== Sheik is Zelda's alternate personality and they are aware of each other. ==
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
* Not a good one if you ask me, as it prevents Zelda from developing character properly, thus remaining always as a distressed damsel. Then there's the male-Sheik fangirls who want Zelda out of the picture, too; so once again, no.
** Not if you consider that sheik has one game and Zelda has badass roles in some other Zelda titles where she is conscious like wind waker, spirit tracks, and twilight princess If you believe that they are in a cycle of reincarnation. Or if you read the part of the theory that Sheik is Zelda reimagined as a male Sheikah.
== Zelda as Sheik is a [[Gender Bender]] ==
