the origin of sheik

[PseudoMario16]

well, this is interesting. apparently, the sheik was the name of a wrestler.
does anybody know if thats where sheik from the zelda games comes from??

[Brawler4Ever]

I thought that it was a Persian king or queen or something...


Wikipedia says this about "Sheikh."

Apparantly, it's an Islamic wise person. I was only slightly off.

[Sirus]

in the ocarina of time game guide it says Shiek is a guy so when i was young i always thought he/she was a he o_O

  I'm so confused, i always heard that Sheik was a girl. So is he/she a men or a women?

[Brawler4Ever]

Sheik is Zelda in disguise. Zelda is a girl. Therefore, the person of SHeik is a girl.
But the alias, Sheik, is a guy. Zelda pretended to be a boy for about 7 years or so. Not entirely sure of the length.

Zelda=Girl.
Sheik Alias=Guy.
Skeik Actual Person=Girl.

I got Seik's Brawl trophy and it states Sheik is a 'she.'

Now, I never knew there was a wrestler called "The Sheik"...
Hmm...
Mere coicidence?
