Sheik
Unlock: Classic Mode
"Sheik is is the alter-ego of Princess Zelda while she was hiding away from Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In order to guide Link on his quest and fulfill his destiny, she disguised herself through magic to conceal not only her image but her presence as well so Ganondorf couldn't find her through dark magic. In Super Smash Bros., Shiek uses a wide amount of attacks such as needles, vanishing techniques, burst grenades, acrobatics as well as using her Sheikah Harp to deliver devastating elemental attacks. So...my question is why is Zelda and Sheik, who are the same people; why are they on the same stage together?"
Shiek (Alt)
Unlock: Adventure Mode
Console/Red
"Shiek is capable of utilizing her Sheikah Harp in battle and, with it, comes some terrifying attacks that can control the elements! Her neutral special is the Bolero of Fire but, in actuality, it can deliver different types of attacks depending on which custom move is used! That is pretty amazing! Sheik can access the Bolero of Fire which causes a fireball to shoot from her harp with explosion damage! The Serenade of Water causes opponents to be pushed away on all sides by a water wave. Finally, the Song of Storms calls down lightning from the heavens to strike Sheik and send electrical energy out from her. That is a pretty amazing harp, isn't it!"
Zelda (Alt)
Unlock: Adventure Mode
Handheld/White
"Sheik's Burst Grenade is a useful technique where he throws a powerful explosive but there's a catch! The pin is attached to a string so when Sheik throws the grenade and pulls - it causes a powerful explosion! BUT WAIT! There's more! The blast is powerful enough that is has a slight vacuum effect for any foe close by to it thus drawing the opponent into the grenade! I am not sure if that is the product of Sheikah ingenuity of Hyrulian magic but that is pretty amazing nonetheless! It can even be held for a longer blast delay!"
Ocarina of Time Sheik
Unlock: Boss Battle
Console
"While Link was trying to solve the many puzzles in the dungeons during the events of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Sheik was secretly trailing him as well as doing quick missions ti uncover Ganondorf's machinations. Due to Zelda being was wanted fugitive, she had to e careful to not only conceal her appearance but her abilities as well! She was able to keep tabs on Link and offer him helpful pieces of advice as well as teach important songs for him to remember such as the Bolero of Fire and Serenade of Water. She would appear in a smoke and vanish with a flash leaving Link very confused as to who she was."
'Ninja Sheik
Unlock: Boss Battle
Handheld
"Zelda may be a princess but that doesn't mean she doesn't the necessary training to be a warrior ...or a ninja. Maybe her Triforce of Wisdom allows her to understand everything just as the Triforce of Courage gives Link the emotional strength to endure or the Triforce of Power to give Ganondorf his destructive powers. However, Sheik does seem to possess many ninja-like abilities and equipment such as needles and burst grenade. Plus, her quick and agile frame and prowess is very ninja-like. To further fulfill this role, Sheik has donned any even more elaborate costume that bears similar elements of the ninjas of lore. Though with a Hylurian twist!"
Sheik (Bouncing Fish)
Unlock: Complete a Character Challenge
Yellow
"An odd name for a rather straight forward attack. Sheik catapults forward and slams her heel into the opponent and bounces back. I guess it appears to look like a bouncing fish though I just do see the resemblance. Usually a bouncing fish means it's out of water and slowly dieing while grasping for breathe. Sheik is anything but that. Well, regardless, Sheik slams her heel into the opponent and does several kicks before pushing backwards; launching the opponent with that last kick. She then flips backwards. It can also be used as a way to travel some distance in the air!"
Sheik (Tempest)
Unlock: Complete a character challenge
Green
"Sheik has many ninja tools such as needles in her inventory but she also uses knives for combat! Either through magic or her own willpower, she can embed lightning damage into her knives. When she needs to go a higher elevation and quickly, Tempest is the way to go! She zig-zags in the air, changign directions four times. She first jumps to the right, to the left, to the right, and the left again! Depending where she was originally facing of course! DoN7t worry, she is always facing the ledge when she is finished! Each zig-zag does an attack but it's not very powerful. Only the last hit can smash an opponent. However, it's very quick! VERY quick! Sheik becomes a bright blue blur!"
Sheik (Black)
Unlock: Complete a character challenge
"Sheik certainly keeps up with the dark color scheme well! Aside from a particular ninja costumes she wears - she also has access to a black color scheme! This one is shared not only between her both also the rest of The Legend of Zelda cast in Super Smash Bros. It was originally based off Link's "Dark Link" costume! Dark Link is a copy of Link but....only darker with red glowing eyes. I don't know if Sheik's is the same way but I don't really see her eyes glowing...but regardless they could be maybe in the night like a red-eyed cat. Now that would be scary!""
Sheik (Brown)
Unlock: Complete a character challenge
"When Sheik needs to go horseback riding or blend in with the mountains or forests, she dons on her brown color scheme! This was allows her to vanish into the rocks of wood of her environment or to appear one with the horse. It also kind of looks like a certain girl who keeps horses at a certain Lon Lon Ranch! Well, regardless, this colorless outfit is very important for Sheik to appear unnoticed while Ganondorf's forces searched for her in the Kokiri Forest or Death Mountain. However, I guess it doesn't have much help in colorful stages like Lolipop Land or Super Bell Hill!"
Sheik (Down)
Purple
Unlock: Match or Trophy Shop
"Sheik used to use an attack that would launch an electrical chain forward and slash at opponens with it but that was ages ago. However, she seems to have some wire string which doesn't seem to have a purpose. Is it used to pull the pin from the Burst Grenade? I don't really know as the stirng is different! This wire string seems more powerful and dangerous! I don't want imagine Sheik attacking me with that! Maybe they are unused strings for her Sheikah Harp! That would certainly make sense considering she could maybe break a string or two during her adventures or battles..."
Hooded Sheik
Unlock: Complete a Sheik Character Challenge
"Despite Zelda needing to conceal her identity, she is still proud of the Sheikah family and wished to convey her passion for the proud family lineage outside of adopting the name and appearance of Sheik. To this extent,s he fashioned a magical cloak from magical clothe and threads that bears the crest of the Sheikah symbol. It is unknown if this cloak has any magical properties but it is rumored to hide Sheik from danger when it is present. This has no effect on Sheik in Super Smash Bros. though. And now that you mention it, it does appear a bit like the cloak Zelda wore in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess!"
Light Arrow
Unlock: All Star Mode
"The Light Arrow is an arrow blessed by the Goddess'. It's piercing power can eliminate all evil and is one of the only things that can damage the King of Evil besides the Master Sword. While Link is able to use the Light Arrows, it has been more attributed to Princess Zelda. Sheik is also capable of pulling the string on this blessed bow and unleashing her own light arrow. When performed in the air, she fires slightly downward! Her does more damage but increases with every strike it does!"
Ballad of the Sheikah
Unlock: Unlock all Sheik's trophies
"The Sheikah Harp is a blessed harp made from the Goddesses. According to legend, it was passed down from the ages and was once played by the first Hero of Time. It has magical powers that allows th eplayer to play notes that can change fate and time itself. Sheik can use the Sheikah Harp to cause the fabric of time to ripple about her; increasing with every stroke she makes. It is important to time the pressing of the special button with the rhythm of the harp in order to maximize the Final Smash's speed and power!"
