Sheik

Sheik's History

Sheik reveals himself to Link shortly after Link is freed from the Chamber of Sages after his seven-year slumber. He introduces himself as the "Survivor of the Sheikahs". He informs Link that he must awaken the Seven Sages in order to bring peace back to Kingdom of Hyrule. Alerting him of the need to acquire the Hookshot in order to enter the Temples, Sheik stays in front of the Pedestal of the Master Sword. He later appears when Link arrives at the Sacred Forest Meadow. He tells Link about the Songs for Warping that can access Temple entrances and teaches him the "Minuet of Forest" before disappearing again. Further along, Sheik approaches Link at the Fire Temple entrance in the Death Mountain Crater, teaching him the Bolero of Fire before walking away, using a wall of flame to halt Link's inquiring advance.

Sheik once again mysteriously appears in the Ice Cavern to inform Link of the fate of the Zoras and to teach him the "Serenade of Water". He then waits outside the Water Temple for Link to free it from Morpha's influence and awaken the Sage of Water before disappearing once again.

When Kakariko Village comes under attack from a mysterious force, Link discovers that Sheik is already there. Together they encounter and are defeated by an invisible monster thought to be the Evil Shadow Spirit. Sheik teaches Link the "Nocturne of Shadow" and urges Link to help Impa fight the Evil Shadow Spirit. When Link discovers that he must venture back in time in order to do so, Sheik offers a helping hand informing Link on how to use the Master Sword and the Pedestal of the Master Sword in order to travel back and forth through Time. He teaches Link the "Prelude of Light" before vanishing once again.

At the entrance of the Spirit Temple, Sheik appears to have been waiting for Link from atop a large rock formation and once again informs him that he must enter the Temple as a child, utilizing the Pedestal of the Master Sword in the Temple of Time. He gives Link a lesson on performing the "Requiem of Spirit" before using the desert winds as cover to vanish.

With all Six Sages freed, Link is instructed to return to the Temple of Time where Sheik awaits. Sheik congratulates Link on his efforts and offers an explanation on what happened to Kingdom of Hyrule during Link's disappearance before finally revealing his true identity as Princess Zelda.
