"She" is referring to Zelda in that paragraph.

Also, in the Japanese version, Sheik is male

We can neither confirm nor deny Sheiks ACTUAL sex, but we do know that Sheik is actually Zelda in disguise, and we are aware that Zelda, is female. Even so, it's gender etiquette to refer to someone by the pronouns of their preference, and as Sheik clearly considers himself a "he," regardless of whether or not it's part of the disguise. Sheik is a "he." That said, it doesn't change Sheik's actual sex, and as Smash Bros. refers to Sheik as female--even if you try to suggest it's actually talking about Zelda--the sex has not changed, unless you're willing to prove there's a bulge.

Either way, the whole thing is a gender community nightmare.

I'm actually willing to admit that Sheik is neither gender and just androgynous

What are the differences between these audiences, exactly? I realize the mechanics and such are different. That still doesn't change that they are both fighting games, which is the similarity I was drawing, not the mechanics or play styles.

I play Tekken, MK/Injustice, Capcom vs, and Smash Bros. If I'm playing alot of fighting games and enjoy all of them for having one thing in common(being a fighting game), I'm going to wonder why some would enjoy one series, but not the other.

You guys should argue about Sheik's gender a bit more.

Ok, if you say so.

Whether Zelda considers Sheik to be female or male is irrelevant to this discussion, Sheik still counts as a woman in tights.

OK, Sheik has to be female because I'm attracted to her. See what you made me do!!!?? >_<

First of all, I have no idea what that text is, that I bolded. Secondly, are you kidding? While I realize that Street Fighter, Tekken, and maybe Mortal Kombat/Injustice are somewhat more technical, they also lack things that Smash Bros. has, such as default items(admittedly, Injustice has the stage interactions), more diverse stages, besides cosmetics, and the character's movesets aren't usually nearly as different as Smash Bros.

Also, thinking that PS Battle Royal being more technical than Smash Bros. is horsesh***. No offense.

Keep in mind that the only similarity I'm drawing is that they are fighting games; not necessarily the specifics.

I don't see how this could be considered female. It's obviously a male body.

Nintendo is afraid of political correctness

That's just how Zelda looks without her dress.

You've never seen female bodybuilders have you? And obviously you haven't seen male ice skaters either. Because they have this huge package down there.

I've seen both & they don't look like that.

Can we please stop talking about body builders and packages?

And Sheik's body in general

As long as Sheik is convinced she is a woman, then that's fine by me.

I don't think you guys are very good at reading the title of forums, this one isn't called "Sheik's Package Inspection"...

Okay, since we're on the topic of Sheik's gender, is it just me or can I see that Sheik's got boobs in this pic?

Maybe it's just a strange angle/pose?

Rosalina also has legs through her dress. Game is still in development

I almost feel like they did the whole Wii U thing on purpose because they would sell better during Christmas time, as long as they advertise the heck out of it during the holidays it should be good, but yeah I would have preferred the Wii U version be out first, but I'm getting both versions anyways so

well sheik is zelda hence the boobage. dont tell me you guys never beat ocarina of time?
