Aonuma about Zelda and it seems that Zelda will have strong Sheikah focus

I'm not talking about Sheik in Smash, which Nintendo has been making more affeminated with each passing entry. Sheik's grunts in OoT are somewhat masculine.

Although the fact that Sheik and Zelda are now different characters in Smash is telling, no?

That was done because of limitations of the 3DS hardware.
