Sheik is Zelda in disguise, Zelda is a girl, but Sheik is referred to as a boy. Although Sheik is really Zelda and is therefore a girl, "Sheik" is thought to be a boy.

There's some debate over whether or not Zelda uses magic to completely change her gender.

There is an official website where you can look up Sheik and find out for yourself. If you want to, copy this address and paste it in the address bar:

When Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was re-released for the 3DS, the programmers tried to make it a bit more obvious in the character design that Sheik was using things like bandages to disguise his/her gender.

Is Link from Legend of Zelda a girl?

No, Link is a boy.


Why does Zelda look like a boy?

Zelda does not like like a boy, you are most likely mistaking Link (The playable character) to be called Zelda or referring to Sheik from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Just to reassure you, Zelda is the princess and the character you play as is Link.


Is sheik a boy or a girl on Super Smash Bros brawl?

Sheik is disguized Zelda !!!Sheik is the alter ego of Princess Zelda, a major character in the The Legend of Zelda series. Despite Sheik's male appearance, Sheik is indeed a female in Super Smash Bros. Series (though in The Legend of Zelda series, Sheik's gender is not official). Sheik acted as Zelda's stronger form, which she would often use to help others, and even Link .(Didn't want to mess with this answer, so I'll add on.)Sheik is clearly male. Some less reliable reasons are:-Flat chest, full-grown adult. Most likely male.-Deeper voice.-Shortened hair.-Masculine eyes. In Japanese anime/manga, it IS hard to tell, but in the posters and such, its more clear.A better reasons is in Brawl, on the trophies and after transformation, you may notice a bulge in the groin area. Also, since magic is used to change between Sheik/Zelda, we might as well say its a gender change or Zelda is freaking lazy. Doubt the latter.I'm done.
