* Now, let’s think about the Sheikah. Princess Zelda’s nanny, Impa, is a Sheikah, and apparently the last of her tribe. Impa has red eyes, and, although she doesn’t look very old, and seems to still be in very good physical shape, white hair. Since the Sheikah tribe never actually appears in the game, it is possible that this coloration is - was - typical of the Sheikah people.
* As this Wild Mass Guesser mentioned before, in Majoras Mask, Link still looks somewhat like himself in any form. So Sheik, being Zelda in disguise, would maintain his (her) blond hair.
* Also, about Zelda’s disguise as Sheik: the Sheikah, judging from Impa’s getup, wear very skintight clothing, probably to help them sneak around better (kind of like ninjas). Being a tribe based on Shadows, going unnoticed would be very important for spying.
* So, if Zelda was simply dressed as a Sheikah man, wouldn’t her physical characteristics as a woman show through a skintight suit? This Troper thinks so.
* Conclusion: Sheik was once an actual Sheikah warrior. He was killed in battle, and, as a desperate attempt to save him, Impa sealed his soul into a mask.
* Why? Maybe he was her son.
