What pronoun do you use to refer to Sheik?

[CR33P]

SPOILER (if you didnt play oot yet lol)
Sheik is Zelda, so Sheik is a girl. I still refer to him as a he. This is confusing.
I call "it" a he.

Do you guys use male or female pronouns?

 

[PaperLuigi3]

I call Sheik Sheik. For Sheik is Sheik until further notice.

Sheik is Zelda in disguise as a man. The "Sheik" identity that she created is supposed to be male. So I don't think it's a problem to call Sheik "he".

why would I ever bring up Sheik into a conversation
I haven't played any loz games sry

Then why post?

It's Zelda, so I would refer to Sheik as she. There's no sex change stuff happening, she just disguises herself.

I don't think she would go that far...

 

[Hana-Nezumi]

I just checked the text dump to make sure and yeah Ruto refers to Sheik as "young man" and "him". So yeah. Zelda's female but when she is presenting herself as a man (uh... magical sex-change or not...) it just makes more sense to call Sheik he.

They. I was trying to explain this to my brother of how they doesn't mean a whole group of people but he didn't care.

Sheik is actually one of my favourite video game characters, and also my favourite Super Smash Bros. character because of, his, ability to go from male to female, and, female to male. Whenever I speak of him, I refer him as male, because, Zelda turns into a man to hide from Ganondorf, so, I consider him male, as long as Zelda remains in his form.

I don't think they understand.

Isn't Zelda separate from Sheik in the new SSB?

 

[Alice]

Read it as Shrek. Now I'm disappointed.

I got a little ogre eager.

Well, in Brawl, you can change in the middle of a match, or, choose before the match begins.

 

[PaperLuigi3]

Yes, and Project M, I think. Not sure.

 

[RayOfHope]

I consider Sheik female, just like Zelda, because it's just a disguise...but I still refer to Sheik with male pronouns.

...uh. I don't have any reason why, I just... do. ._.

 

[Naiad]

I consider Sheik male. (Kind of like with Conchita. Conchita is a she, but Thomas is a He.)

 

[Radagast]

I use she. I think Ruto was just mistaken

 

[n64king]

I use to say He until I learned the story right and used logic, so now I say She. I hate how one tiny little booboo in the text or something that's meant to be part of the story (like Ruto is misinformed/doesn't get it) sends people off on the wrong path for almost 20 years. They've said She like 10,000 other times in various mentions.

Well she's Zelda isn't she? So yeah, she's a girl. It's even in the name, Sheik.
