And Cloud is a girl.
Wii U Link is mayonnaise.
Zelda dressed as a man.
Cloud disguised himself as a woman. Horny men referred to cloud as a young lady.
Who says Sheik did go all the way?
Manga doesn't count.
My point is that, if Zelda wanted to become a man, she could do it. She has the power to and, if you're gonna try and trick people into thinking you're a man (which she did) then there's no real reason why you wouldn't actually become one. Also, as Sheik, Zelda is different physically. Sheik appears much more flexible and quick, meanwhile Zelda appears much weaker and slow. We've never seen Zelda defend herself in the kind of way she does as Sheik, which wouldn't make sense if we were to assume Sheik wasn't a different body.
Not necessarily. The 'magic' might have been enough to slightly alter her appearance but not necessarily her biology. I mean, it can't be that great of magic. If it was, why would she need the concealing outfit that only draws more attention? Surely she wouldn't if she looked that much like a dude?
There's also no need for her to change her entire body unless she's planning on some sweet lovin'...Which also points towards the lack of bulge in that outfit of hers. That's a pretty tight outfit. Even if Sheik wasn't packin' much I'm sure there would be something.
Zelda hasn't been shown to have much of a figure either (outside of fan art). I can totally see her passing off as a guy if she took off the dress (and put on something more 'masculine').
We've never really seen Sheik defend herself properly either outside of Smash and Hyrule Warriors which are both non canon (as well as HW pointing even more to her being a woman).
Maybe the lack of magical attacks with Sheik is due to that sort of magic being more tied to the Royal family, which would obviously get her noticed. I don't recall many other human/hylian magic users in OoT or MM.
Likewise, if she has powerful magic as Zelda there's less need to get her lovely pink dress dirty because as we know, all women become physically useless the moment they're wearing a pink dress...
Tao is right; Zelda used magic to transform KEY parts of her appearance to appear to be Shiekah. She appeared to be a young man because of her masculine looking figure but I honestly doubt she used magic to actually transform herself into a man...
Honestly, I don't know why this is still being debated when an official Nintendo representative disclosed that Sheik is a female because Zelda is. Really, we should all know better, as its obvious how much the Japanese enjoy gender-bending. End discussion.

Perhaps you're right. I'm still not sure, though. Zelda is kind of stupid, to be honest. If she was as intelligent as she's supposed to be, she would've transformed back into Zelda (assuming she can't use magic as Sheik) and used magic to assist Link, unless you're right in thinking it's simply not strong enough. As for her outfit, again, she is kind of stupid. Transforming into a man wouldn't be extremely necessary, but I guess if you were trying to hide from somebody as powerful as Ganondorf, you'd do everything in your power to keep yourself concealed, and that may include that specific body part.
Her fighting abilities aren't very clear, but fighter moves in Super Smash Bros. are supposed to reflect on the fighter in at least some way, and I could imagine Sheik being that way if the opportunity ever came up in one of the games, so I personally follow that despite it not being in any real relation to The Legend of Zelda series.
At the end of the day, I still consider Sheik a man. The whole Sheik is Zelda therefore Sheik is female concept just doesn't make sense to me, because I still believe that Zelda would go all the way with her magic and completely transform herself, and, again, I think the sudden change of physical abilities and appearance would support that. There's just as much proof to support the idea Sheik is female, though, so I don't think we'll ever know for sure.

why is this an argument.
With all six sages freed, Link is instructed to return to the Temple of Time where none other than Sheik awaits. Sheik congratulates Link on his efforts and offers an explanation on what exactly happened to Hyrule during Link's disappearance before finally revealing his true identity as Princess Zelda.
from the wiki, which reports the events of the Ocarina of Time. Which I played and I can confirm

I don't like Marshal. Actually, I dislike a lot of Tier 1/Tier 2 villagers and also kind of dislike the entire concept of sorting them into tiers.

Hmm, as a trans man I kind of resent this.

What I mean is that, if Zelda is trying to hide from Ganondorf, transforming into the opposite gender would be a clever move so there's no chance of being recognised. A transsexual Zelda is a fabulous concept, though.
