"Wow.....again, those were initial designs. Stop forgetting that if Sakurai hadn't taken leadership of Brawl, they were not going to touch the Melee roster of characters, just add more. This is what the article is in reference to.
Second, Sakurai has made it quite clear that Brawl is a new game. Even though Zelda has her Farore's Wind and Din's Fire, there is no guarantee that she still has Nayru's Love and Transformation. She has a new flavor, just like Bowser and everyone else.
Besides, none of you would care about Sheik if she wasn't ridiculously awesome anymore in Brawl anyway, and we know Sakurai wants balance, so I hope he sticks to his word."
Okay, I get your point that just because Zelda uses FW and DF doesn't mean she uses her other two moves, but honestly, I never said in my original post that "since Zelda uses FW, Sheik is DEFINETELY CONFIRMED NO MATTER WHAT". All I said is that the fact that Zelda uses FW INCREASES the chances of Shiek in Brawl, which is why the thread is titled "Shiek is practically confirmed now. Plus, if Zelda is keeping two of her moves, what are the chances that she isn't keeping the other two? IMO, if Zelda has half of her moveset, what's keeping the other half from returning? I'm not saying that it's GUARANTEED that because Zelda has FW she also has Shiek, I'm saying that the chances are VERY HIGH because Zelda has FW that she also has Shiek.
"Actaully...Zelda never used Farore's Wind or Din's Fire in the past, so it's hardly something to base a Sheik argument on.
(Well at least for any arguments saying this is OoT Zelda as opposed to TP Zelda, because of those moves)"
That may be true that Zelda doesn't use those moves in the first place, but they are undoubtedly from OoT, so yes, I can base a Shiek argument on them. Plus, techinically Zelda DID use those moves in Melee, so yes she did use them in the past.
"Shiek is part of the OoT storyline, Zelda needed to hide her true identity from Ganondorf. Not so in TP. Her spells on the other hand, are based on the triforce Gods who created the Zelda universe, which obviously exists in any Zelda game.
To think Zelda missing something she always had is similar to her missing something game specific is nonsense. Not that Sheik could not still be in there, but your proof is lame."
If Zelda can use spells based on triforce gods who created the universe in the TP universe, then she can dress up like a Shiekah and run around like a ninja in the TP universe. Plus like I said before, those spells undoubtedly originated from OoT (even if they exist in any Zelda game) and are also techincally in the OoT storyline, as Shiek is. They are both from the same game, and Zelda seems to be using spells from OoT, so what's keeping her from using transformations from OoT? If my proof is lame, then your LOGIC is lame, because Zelda's moveset and design in Melee were based off of OoT, and it seems to be the same way in Brawl (minus the design). That is what this thread is all about.
I really can't believe that NOBODY thinks that Zelda using Farore's Wind is SOME kind of proof that Shiek is returning, if only a little bit.
