Sheik is a mysterious, masked warrior who played an important role in Link’s quest in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time game. Disguised as part of the Sheikah tribe that populates Hyrule, Sheik taught Link™ essential ocarina melodies and then vanished in an instant. Why does Sheik look so familiar?
For information on the fighter for which this amiibo becomes, see Sheik (SSBStrife).
All variations of the Sheik amiibo are compatible with Super Smash Bros. Strife. Like with Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the amiibo becomes a Figure Player (FP) when scanned. While computer-controlled, the amiibo levels up as it fights, learning from its opponents as it does. Unlike in Super Smash Bros. 4, it can be levelled up to level 80 as opposed to 50. The FP collects collectible items during battle, which can be fully obtained by scanning the amiibo in the amiibo menu.
Data from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U is compatible with Super Smash Bros. Strife. Data from Super Smash Bros. Strife is not compatible with Super Smash Bros. 4, however, due to the higher level cap.
The Sheik amiibo, like all other amiibo, is compatible with Hyrule Warriors II. Like the other amiibo based on characters from the The Legend of Zelda series, the first time the amiibo is used, the player is granted an exclusive weapon. In the case of the Sheik amiibo, the player unlocks the Slate weapon for Sheik. Subsequent uses of the amiibo will grant a random weapon for Sheik, either of the Harp or the aforementioned Boots, rated 3 stars or higher.
