I thought that it was a Persian king or queen or something...


Wikipedia says this about "Sheikh." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheikh)

Apparantly, it's an Islamic wise person. I was only slightly off.  :P

Sheik is Zelda in disguise. Zelda is a girl. Therefore, the person of SHeik is a girl.
But the alias, Sheik, is a guy. Zelda pretended to be a boy for about 7 years or so. Not entirely sure of the length.

Zelda=Girl.
Sheik Alias=Guy.
Skeik Actual Person=Girl.
