For Anyone Who Had A Crush On Sheik From "Zelda"

*whispers* Take me with you on a quest.

When you first saw Sheik — either in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time or Super Smash Bros. — you were probably like, "Who's this androgynous ninja I have sex feelings for, despite the fact that it's a cartoon?"

I mean, look at those legs.

In Ocarina of Time it's revealed that Sheik is the alter ego of Princess Zelda, who dresses up as a male Sheikah to avoid being captured by the evil Ganondorf.

By way of a hint, the game states that, "contrary to her elegant image, Princess Zelda of Hyrule Castle is, in fact, a tomboy!" [Swoon.]

Thus, in addition to being an obvious mega-babe, Sheik is also a major badass.

We all know that Link's ass would have been grass without her.

She's also got these 90s-era curtains of short blond hair you just want to run your hands through.

And then there's the way she's always peering seductively through that hair with those bright ruby-red eyes.

The mysterious, cryptic way she spoke — her mouth hidden by her costume — could practically make you blush.

Plus, she's a musician.

She taught Link teleportation songs on the lyre. That is pretty hot.

Her theme from "Ocarina of Time" probably still gives you goosebumps.

Sheik is perhaps most alluring in the Super Smash Bros. games, where she is a switch-out character with Zelda.

And if you've played Super Smash Bros., you know that no one fights as hard, as beautifully, as Sheik.

Those high kicks! [heart eyes emoji]

So ACROBATIC, my goodness.

Nintendo

Sheik's appearance has changed over time, becoming more visibly feminine.

(We can only hope she doesn't eventually succumb to Bratz syndrome, in which all female-oriented toys and characters become hyper-sexualized and feminized.)

Because androgynous Sheik is super dreamy as-is.

Nintendo

Sigh.
