==Ocarina of Time==
==Appearances==
===Ocarina of Time===
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.

Line 20: Line 21:
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.

===Appearance===
====Costume====
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.
