The pope can say Jesus is god but that doesn't mean it's true. Jesus and Miyamoto could float down from the heavens and part the seas and say, "Sheik is Zelda and Zelda was always a female", but it wouldn't be definitive or end the debate. And that's because the world of Zelda is fictional and left to interpretation. Reality is difficult enough to figure out let alone fiction which is all false to begin with.

Once a piece of fiction is released the story tells what happened and people will interpret it differently. Nobody has any special power to say what happened, including authors. They had their chance when they were making the work, but once it's released out into the wild it may become a whole another story. It tells itself and that's different to everyone.

UM... No? Just because you might be disappointed or upset by not getting the answer you want, doesn't change anything. Sure you are welcome to keep your imagination of Shiek as a male if you prefer. I understand, I love him too. BUT that doesn't mean you can say all that as if its a suitable or true.

The 100% TRUTH is, who has the absolute say in what characters do, say, or ARE, is the Author who the world belongs too. Your personal interpretation is in your mind alone, and has no say or weight in the situation of the final decision.

no, the only one who controls the story is the autor, would have love to see how the hell this is true but the fact as much as it bother is that this IS true, to not accept it is a lack of respect with the series and with the autor
