There could come a day when Nintendo comes out with a new Zelda spin-off that stars Sheik. That’s based on new comments from Shigeru Miyamoto, who indicated to GameRant that there have been discussions “within the development team” regarding “how it might be cool to have a game” with the character.
Miyamoto went on to say that such a project wouldn’t be “an impossibility.”
His words in full:
“Within the development team, too, there have been talks about how it might be cool to have a game that features Sheik as a protagonist. It’s having maybe a Zelda spin-off with Sheik as a protagonist, for example, I don’t think that’s an impossibility.”

Aonuma – changes in Zelda: BotW were made based on negative Skyward Sword feedback
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 118 Comments
According to Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, Breath of the Wild features changes that are based on the negative feedback Nintendo received from some fans who played Skyward Sword.
Aonuma told Polygon:
“A lot of the fans that played Skyward Sword said that they were really bummed out that they couldn’t find the hidden element of the game. A lot of the users, when they looked at the map, they said, ‘OK, there’s these places I can go, but how come I can’t go over here?’
“Fans that enjoyed the motion controls in Skyward Sword may actually be a little bit disappointed playing this game.”
Aonuma added that the decision to create a much bigger world this time around was largely shaped by those fan responses. In this game, Nintendo wants there to be a lot of treasures and surprises for players to find.
