Today, let's go over Sheik, Zelda's alter ego during the events of Ocarina of Time, later given even more notoriety for her prominent role in Super Smash Bros. She is a ninja, disguising herself as a boy, and using methods learned from her Sheikah nurse Impa. In Ocarina, her role was primarily to teach Link songs evoking magic with his Ocarina, played on her own harp. Smash gave her more of a generic "ninja" moveset that pulled little from the actual games, while Hyrule Warriors built her moveset around her harp. Kinda funny to think Warriors was the more faithful moveset. Across it all, she can leap high into the air, disappear in a puff of smoke, and play such important songs as Zelda's Lullaby, the Song of Storms, the Sun Song, and the Song of Time. I think I'd like to make a moveset combining all these aspects.
Here's the moveset I came up with:
Standard B: Needles
Though it comes from nothing in game, I would be remiss to leave out a move that has become so synonymous with her thanks for Smash. She will charge up a set of needles and then throw them at an enemy.
Side B: Song of Storms
She will use her harp to whip up a small tornado and send it spinning forward, tossing everyone around.
Up B: Vanish
She will throw down a smoke bomb and disappear, reappearing high in the air, basically exactly as it appears in Ocarina and in Smash.
Side B: Zelda's Lullaby
Or Transform, if we keep the changing aspect, obviously. If not, my best idea for it is to have her play Zelda's Lullaby, and then a field of green light will appear directly in front of her, causing anyone caught in it to be trapped, mirroring many of its uses in Ocarina.
Final Smash: Sheikah Strike OR Song of Storms/Time/something like that.
I do like her current attack as it appears in Smash, even though it doesn't pull from anything particularly specific but does contain elements such as the Lens of Truth/Sheikah symbol. If we don't go with that, a larger scale Song of Storms, or a Song of Time that sends a character swirling through the Temple of Time animation to their KO, or something similar could work.
Entrance: She will appear from a smoke bomb.
Taunts: Up, she will pose with one leg up in a tree pose. Side, she will strum a few notes on her harp. Down, she will do the handstand thing from Smash currently.
Thanks for reading! Next up, the Sheikah who taught Sheik everything she knows, Impa!
