I made a Trans Sheik oneshot. I love the legend of Zelda and Sheik/Zelda gave me trans vibes from Oot. This oneshot is an Au where Link wasn't sent back to his childhood.
A couple months after Hyrule was saved and Link had a place at the castle, Zelda looked over the balcony in her room. Even though she almost died multiple times, she couldn't help but feel like she missed those days. Running around in masculine clothes and going by ‘Sheik’ brought her serotonin. She wanted to fight and be manly, like Link. However, she couldn't do that now. She had to help the civilization by being the princess.
Her father didn't help much either. He always reminded her how princesses didn't fight. He got her more dresses which she didn't exactly enjoy. Yeah, skirts were cool, but the long and pink dresses made her want to vomit. She'd much rather wear a blue or navy tunic.
Impa walked into the room and saw the princess looking over hyrule from her balcony. She could tell something was up. The girl had been through a lot of trauma after being kidnapped.
“Good afternoon, princess Zelda,” She greeted her. Zelda winced at that title and name.
“Is something wrong?” Impa asked, leaning her elbows on the concrete bars. She was a fairly chill assistant/bodyguard. When Zelda was younger, she was sort of a parental figure towards her too.
“Have you ever wanted to be someone different?” Zelda asked.
Impa was a bit shocked at this. I mean, she was a literal princess. Almost everyone would want that. But she answered a bit truthfully.
“Sure, sometimes I want to be a knight but I'm here, and I gotta deal with it,” she replied.
“No, I mean, have you ever wanted to be… a boy?” Zelda nervously said.
“Well yeah, being a boy has perks,”
“No! You don't get it. I want to be sheik again…” Zelda admitted. Impa then realized what she was talking about.
“Oh,” she said in shock. She knew Zelda enjoyed doing that but always thought she was just a tomboy.
“I- I don't know why I feel like this…” Zelda covered their face with their hands, tears slowly falling.
“Hon, I think I know what's going on,” Impa explained.
“Y-you do?”
“Yeah, I think you might be trans.” She said.
Zelda uncovered her face and looked at her confused.
“Trans?”
Impa was a bit weirded out that they didn't know about that. They were 16. She then remembered how sheltered they were. The king wanted them to be perfect and normal and sheltered them from many things.
“So basically, Transgender means that your gender is different from what you were assigned at birth. Like, if you feel like you were born in the wrong body, it's a big possibility you're trans. But don't fully trust me in this stuff. I'm just a lesbian,” Impa told them
“So am I a boy?”
“Do you want to be one?”
“Yes!” they said with enthusiasm.
“Then I guess you are, Sheik,” Impa smiled over to them. Sheik beamed at that name. They liked it a lot.
“What kind of pronouns do you want to use?” Impa asked. This started a new explanation. But after Sheik finally understood, he answered.
“He and They, please”
“Alright. Welp, that's good to know. I'm glad I can help you out. I should get back to work though. I’ll give ya a haircut later. See ya, Prince Sheik,” Impa waved as she left. Sheik felt a massive amount of serotonin. It felt so good to be called ‘prince’. Hopefully, that haircut would be soon. Nonetheless, Sheik felt extremely good that he now knew what he was.

God I love your Sheik. Question is: thoughts on trans masc Sheik? I always kind of read it as that in your work since Sheik is always… Sheik and not Zelda lol. Love your work!!!
I don't think I've ever thought about it before until recently, actually, but I can definitely roll with that! Sheik and Zelda tend to exist as completely separate entities in my brain so Sheik kind of exists as his own thing to me.
Though, as someone that dresses masculine here and there, I've often entertained the idea of drag more than anything. But I've definitely heard that headcanon before so you're absolutely in good company👌🏾❤️

Setting his order down, looking away for a second, and looking back only to find it completely devoured without a trace say a few measly crumbs and a bloated, swollen gut they’re clutching with a hand.
