Maybe the reason why it's all being kept under wraps is because Sheik is being replaced by her new alter ego Tetra from "Wind Waker". I'm just making assumptions so don't get mad at me for posting this but since everything is being revamped to new Nintendo stuff maybe Tetra is the way Nintendo wants to go.

for those that don't remember, this is Tetra.

i think that, that would b a cool addition to the game, but then the Zelda would have to be the Windwaker Zelda (and we already know its TP Zelda), or tetra would have to b a character on her own, cause i just dont see TP zelda transforming into tetra......

not necessarily. they could redesign Tetra to have a more TP feel to her.
I agree. If people keep yelling about Shiek in TP style than I see no reason why Tetra couldn't be in said style. Really, either way TP Zelda would be transforming into a character she never was and is from a completely different time line of the series.

good point. maybe it would make more sense if she didnt transform at all.

No, it was a physical transformation. She had dark skin as Tetra, and were very pale as Zelda. Their haircolors don't match either.

As interesting as it would be, far different designs and changing them would be a huge leap, and there's a major age gap between the two.

I hope that Tetra will not replace Sheik. I think that Sheik should be a separate character. I don't think that Tetra will not replace Sheik. ZSS seems more to replace Sheik.

I hope that Tetra will replace Sheik or, that Tetra is a separate character.

I don't think that Tetra will replace Sheik, however. I'm a pessimist about this. DX

This idea is totally ********. Not only would it be completely stupid to give Tetra a TP design when she's already part of a destinctive/important/representative design, Tetra is on a different time-line than the TP Zelda we have in Brawl.

It would make sense to have a WW Zelda transform into Tetra, they're part of the same story. But TP Zelda to Tetra makes as much sense as WW Young Link to TP Adult Link.

I agree...

I would'nt dought shiek will begone..By the way they're using Twilight Princess Zelda not ocarina of time...And shiek wasn't even an unlockable character she was just a character within Zelda.So yea really good chances shiek is out for good...Never know...Hope Midna is in Brawl...:chuckle:

There's still an OoT Medley though, and Link's still using Down Thrust and Up thrust from Zelda II... and Zelda's still using moves from Melee named after moves from OoT..

I really think that SHiek staying is still plausible.

So is Sheik.

Sheik and Tetra shares the same timeline.

But TP Zelda to Tetra makes as much sense as WW Young Link to TP Adult Link.
Same goes for Sheik. ZOMG, pwnt.


If Tetra is a ******** idea, Sheik is a ******** idea. Goes both ways.

I don't even know who tetra is. I agree that having twilight princess zelda changing to sheik would be weird, but her changing to tetra, who isn't in twilight princess? I think zelda isn't going to transform, she'll just be herself. that would be nice, I think.

Just going to compare Tetra and Sheik.

Similarities:

-Both are technically Zelda.
-Both are from the adult timeline.
-Both has shown the will to fight as they were(not as Zelda), but both failed hardcore.
-Both are tomboys etc.

Differences:

-Sheik has been in only one Zelda game, where she/he/it/potatoe played second fiddle to the Zelda role,
While Tetra has been the dominating role in the two Zelda games she has starred in, +she had a minigame mode in the Japanese FSA named Tetra's Trackers. (intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5AFDanVRqU)

-Sheik was in melee, Tetra wasn't. (duh!)

-Sheik was in OoT, which is seen as a pinnacle of the Zelda series...

---------------------------------------------------

On the whole, both ideas are equally good (or equally ********).

Tetra has greater game relevance and more appearances on her side, but Sheik has a larger fanbase(accquired from Smash), I think.

I'm not trying to be mean or funny but Sheik and Ganondorf have already been confirmed. It just hasn't been updated on the Dojo site yet. That was said by Eiji Aonuma himself, their designs will be changed a lil bit.

First of all, Sakurai might not even use them(unlikely). Second, it could be for an AT. So no, in no way are they confirmed.

You know Sakurai wouldn't disappoint the fans.

Uh, Sakurai didn't submit them. He was the one they were submitted too.

And using them as ATs would still be using them.

I get the feeling Zelda is going it alone this time.

Shiek was not in TP as far as I remember, so I doubt, since theyre using the TP model that shiek will be making a return.

Sheik better be back... she's my Main !!! Though 'm liking the way Metaknight is turning out.
You are exactly the kind of person that makes me want Sheik gone out of spite.

Don't worry about Sheik. I'm sure Meta Knight will be broken enough for your standards.

A reason for sheik to appear:

When I was playing twilight princess, I got to the first scene where Wolf Link and Midna meet zelda. Zelda is in a brown cloak with symbols. The most distinct symbol, directly on her back right under the hood, surprisingly, is the Weeping Eye, the symbol distinct of the Sheikah.

Just some food for thought. The symbol shows that Zelda is still connected to the Sheikahs somehow, though not directly through TP.

Very cool though, check the scene out sometime, it's very visibly engraved on the cloak

The "Sheikah" have been protecting the Zelda fam sense who knows when. Sheikah elements in tp=/=Zelda becoming Sheik. . . ya know, just saying.

And heres some more food for thought. . . Midna has the "Sheikah" eye on the back of her helm.:p

PS. I agree with the statement that Zelda transforming into TP looking Sheik makes as much sense as her transforming into TP looking Tet.

lol at you people thinking Tetra will get a TP look to replace Sheik, come on, that's not happening EVER!

Let's see, Sheik only needs to get darker hair and a more Wii looking persona, Tetra needs a complete new character design, it's ridiculous, if Sheik is getting replaced (And I do not mean as Zelda's down b) it will be with a newer Zelda character like Midna or Vaati.

How did this spill out from the Zelda character boards?

Ninjas > Pirates, ergo Shiek.

:crazy:
Gimpyfish Bowser Fsmash'd all Sheik topics out of the Zelda section (I think), since she's technically not confirmed. So she's being treated as a separate character (which, really, she is).

Same basic principle as not talking about Jigglypuff in Pikachu's thread.

Eh, you're not lazy (not lazier than me anyway). The only reason I know that is because I happened to have already been in the Zelda thread and saw his new sticky.

Anyway, Zelda update for Monday to hopefully end all this Sheik madness.

I wonder, are you pro or anti Sheik?
The short answer would be Anti-Sheik. But I'm not totally against her inclusion in the game. I just very, very, very, VERY much want her to be separated from Zelda this time around. It wouldn't bother me if she were demoted to an AT either.

And for the record, yes, I'd prefer to see someone like Midna in Brawl before Sheik.
