Smash Legend
Zelda wins against Dedede and Ice Climbers because she is not easily chaingrabbed, and she loses to Diddy (though the disadvantage is not that big iirc).
Sheik goes even with Diddy and Dedede and loses to Ice Climbers (and that horribly, arguably her worst matchup).
Combination is clearly better, and covers all 3 bad matchups.
However, if you want to play Sheilda correctly, you got to invest quite a lot of time. The two characters themselves are not easy to master - especially with Zelda's limited option pool and need for precision, as well as Sheik's technical stuff - and playing the tandem is already challenging in itself.
