Lady, EVOLVED 
sheik/zelda
today someone in a discord didn’t know these were the same character
i don’t expect people to have played ocarina of time (or hyrule warriors) but i usually expect people to at least know as much from smash bros
but then i remembered
they haven’t been the same character in smash bros for nearly a decade
sheik/zelda
@Lady ..........oh
sheik/zelda
@coriander it used to not be a spoiler!! is it a spoiler again?!
sheik/zelda
@Lady I WANT to say "No," but with the way people talk about these things these days, maybe it is??? aaaaaaa
sheik/zelda
@coriander my very diplomatic reply was « oh if you haven't played super smash bros melee for the nintendo gamecube zelda and sheik are the same character »
sheik/zelda
@Lady lmao that's one way to handle it
sheik/zelda
@coriander generally the consensus is that it is NOT a spoiler in melee since i'm pretty sure it's revealed in the opening video
re: sheik/zelda
@aescling @coriander from the cinematography i think Hyrule Warriors definitely expects you to Know but also that game is also nearly a decade old at this point
re: sheik/zelda
@Lady @coriander i managed to spoil this fur my kid brother despite the fact that it is still not a spoiler in brawl either
