'''Sheik''' is a character from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' that was said to be a [[Sheikah]], a familiar species in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'']] games.

Sheik is a mysterious character who first appears before Link when he wakes from his seven-year slumber in the [[Temple of Time]]. They presents themselves as a member of the Sheikah race, having spent the last seven years during Link's absence spying on [[Ganon]]dorf and aiding the resistance against him, including freeing [[Ruto]] when she was frozen in [[Zora's Domain]]. When they approach Link upon waking, Sheik confirms that Link is indeed the [[Hero of Time]] and informs him that he must awaken the five remaining Sages in order to defeat Ganondorf. They point Link towards the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]] in [[Lost Woods|a deep forest]], also telling him he must first retrieve [[Hookshot|an item]] in [[Kakariko Village]]. They also block access to the [[Pedestal of Time]] until the Forest Medallion is obtained.

After awakening all five Sages, Link returns to the Temple of Time to find Sheik waiting for him there. Sheik then reveals they are actually Princess [[Zelda]]. She had disguised herself as a male Sheikah to avoid detection by Ganondorf's forces. She presents the [[Light Arrow]]s to Link, the only weapon that can defeat Ganondorf, but having shed her disguise, is quickly found and captured by Ganondorf's magic. Her Sheik disguise is not used again in the game.

As Sheik, Zelda wore a costume styled after a member of the Sheikah tribe, with a blue jumpsuit and boots. Whether she merely wore a costume or transformed into a Sheikah is ambiguous, but her eyes change from red to blue when she uses the [[Triforce of Wisdom]] to reveal herself as Zelda; and Ruto believes "Sheik" to be male when asking Link to thank them for her.

Sheik appears in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series beginning with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. In this game, the player can play as Zelda and change into Sheik. The player can play as either Zelda or Sheik in one game, or continuously switch back and forth if the player so desires. Sheik also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', similar to the way she appears in ''Melee''. The combination with Zelda is the same, but the artwork is that of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' style.

Sheik also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]]'', where she is her own separate character for the first time; this continues into ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. In the last, she is redesigned to use the [[Stealth Chest Guard]] and [[Stealth Tights]], along with the amiibo-exclusive [[Sheik's Mask]] design from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]''.
