Except I am having a friendly chat I'm just letting you know how it comes across you don't really elaborate you just respond some times with something that's non existent or says nothing at all, if anything it is you trying to brush aside what doesn't help you, for example you try to dismiss the male attire part by claiming the was a change in argument when in fact the was more elaborating, the other changes are null and void in disproving my point as a change in hair and eye colour doesn't equal gender, it's like saying someone who dyes their hair and wears contacts has changed gender it doesn't even need to be addressed. Impa is a Sheikah as well and wears different attire indicating the is no one uniform for the tribe.
I'm going to assume you didn't read things properly as I said the attire is likely to be combat lite and field centric as in offer some lite protection for the tasks she has to do as even though you don't she her fight she no doubt would have to have some protection for herself. It would make sense that the attire being male centric as well as designed for her activities would be bulkier than royal attire. Boots also offer height differences in case you never knew.
Magic can do wonders in the world of fantasy but at this point it's just some speculating fans holding on to a theory that never was imo, why not use magic to turn into the Hulk and go and challenge Ganondorf with your piece of the Tri-force after all magic can do wonders right as the's no limit right?

Well, there's always the game conundrums. Zelda could definitively challenge Ganondorf, but the game treats her as a damsel in distress, despite being in possession of Wisdom. I guess if she could simply go and beat Ganondorf there wouldn't be much game. You could say something like "how come just a small gap prevents Link from going to Hyrule Castle and rescue Zelda", and you spend like an ungodly amount of time saving the Sages so that they simply open up a bridge for you to get to the castle (Yeah, they kind of help Zelda at the final battle, but still). Wasn't Zelda trained by Impa? She definitively knows how to move around herself.
Considering it is established that Zelda uses magic, it's really not a big leap to just think that she really transforms her whole self. She might be using contacts, and she might have dyed her hair. But then she went and used magic to change her skin. So why not use magic to change her eyes and hair? (Which is the most plausible thing). And then, since she has already changed a lot, why not change measurements or bodies for the time being? Zelda has no problems switching back and forth. Brawl and Melee employs a whole spell to swap Zelda for Sheik - and it's not just for hair, eyes and skin, the moveset itself is changed. You could say this is simply as a brawler distinction to make Zelda two different fighters, but even then, that's a hell of a lot of changes with the use of a single spell, wouldn't you say?
While we can't see the face, here's the Sheik OoT costume as DLC for Hyrule Warriors:

And here's Zelda (Couldn't find any better image, sorry. The official one has Zelda doing some funny movements and it doesn't show properly):

Even with a male attire, and being field centric, Sheik is just way bulkier than Zelda. There's tape around Sheik's chest, implying a binding of some sort. However, shoulder pads would restrict mobility and breast binding does not explain every physical difference, such as the difference in the shoulder-to-hip ratio and muscled arms. Before you mention the attire, look again at the arms. That clothes are skintight, yet Sheik's arms are bigger and stronger than Zelda's.
They're physically different. No matter how much masculine attire you put on yourself, there are some differences that can't be explained with clothing. Unless Zelda used magic to change them, which then again brings us to the point...
