Sheik's gender [my opinion](pix)

[Hippocrite]

Ok I actually believe that sheiks gender is different in each game.
In my opinion in the orciana of time he is physically a boy but mentally a girl (seeming as it is truly zelda)

As you can see by the chest it is very man-like. Most muscles are very defined and large. Also the eyes are more narrow and appear more like link's than zelda's.
In smash bros melee I believe it could go ether way leaning to girl.

In this picture his/her chest seems more bound then actual muscles but it could be.

Her legs appear less musculer and poses more feminine.
Now in Brawl I believe she is obviously female. Her whole appearance has been more feminine like her hair and in this picture

you can clearly see breasts.
So what are your opinions?

According to this person (who is a great artist) Shiek is a guy.
Look at the third from the right, top row
Look at Zelda with Shiek. It looks like their holding hands like one is taking the other on a date. When I first saw the picture, I didn't know who Shiek was, but looked like a guy, so I figured.

Well that doesn't really prove anything.
They didn't create the characters.

I think Sheik is a girl because Sheik is Zelda. She's supposed to look like a guy, therefore they made it hard to tell. Of course, I've never played Ocarina of Time, so I'm just going by Smash Bros

"Forever...

I've always called Sheik a girl, but for the sake of those who think otherwise (i.e. my boyfriend) I call her a s/he.

I've always stuck with the fact that kust because she could possibly be physically male due to Zelda's awesome magical power, she is still mentally a female. Even when I first played Ocarina of Time, when I first saw Sheik, I was like "who is she?" And got annoyed when Navi called her a him. xD

...and ever."

And that proves?

Anyway, Sheik is female. Nintendo has announced this through the obvious changing of her appearance, the description for some of her trophies and the fact that she is truly Zelda.

Wrong.. Shiek's body is male, but as the maker of the thread said, Shiek has the mentality of a female, since it is Zelda.

You do not deserve that signature.

Who the hell are you to think so?  

[Shiroi Tsu]

In my opinion she is a girl.

People are always going to have their own opinions of what gender she is, and it really will never bee settled 100%.

I think she's male in OoT and Melee and female in Brawl. There's two different renderings for the character. Like OP described, the long hair and boobs pretty much give it away. Oot =/= Brawl. I believe in OoT Zelda's entire gender was changed to that of a Shiekah boy to hide Zelda from Ganondorf. Just remember, the OoT storyline is completely nonexistant in the Emissary so they're two entirely different characters.  

[Hoboerik]

OoT: Shiek is Zelda, using the Triforce to make herself appear as male.
Melee: It could go either way, but leaning towards female.
Brawl: Female obviously.

I'm pretty sure you're the wrong one.
Every source that I've heard says that she is female, only pretending to be male. It's said that she used magic to change her build, hair, eye colour and skin tone- but I've yet to hear any official Nintendo source say that she changed genders. To further reinforce her gender as female is the fact that her voice actor (in all her appearances) are female.

I believe that Zelda is Sheik, but the Melee version of Sheik is male, while the Brawl version is female. Yes, I know Sheik is TECHNICALLY FEMALE, even in Melee, but I read somewhere that Zelda used magic to change her gender back and forth. So, that would make Melee's Sheik "male". Brawl's, however, is female. This Sheik has no reason to hide her gender, as this Sheik is based on a prototype model of Sheik that was planned to be in Twilight Princess, but never made it. So, OoT Sheik? "Male". Melee Sheik? Same as OoT. Brawl Sheik? Female. sweatdrop
