Sheik serves as Princess Zelda’s alter ego in the game; to escape Ganondorf’s capture, Zelda passes herself off as a male Sheikah known as Sheik.
How long do the Sheikah live?
Sheikah numbers begin to dwindle in times of peace. Sheikah live longer than Hylians, with Impa, Purah, and Robbie all being in their 120s in Breath of the Wild, though as Robbie and Impa are very visibly aged their lifespan seems to be longer than Hylians by only a few decades.
Who is Sheik in The Legend of Zelda?

How does Princess Zelda disguise herself as Sheik?
Princess Zelda disguises herself as Sheik for most of Ocarina of Time, revealing her true identity only at the end of the game. Sheik uses his Harp to teach Link several Warping Songs throughout the game. Sheik reveals himself to Link shortly after Link is freed from the Chamber of Sages after his seven-year slumber.
Is it true that Sheik is a woman?
Sheik is a woman. Case closed. For reference, and so we get this right, the GLAAD media reference guide defines cross-dressing like so: “To occasionally wear clothes traditionally associated with people of the other sex. Cross-dressers are usually comfortable with the sex they were assigned at birth and do not wish to change it.”
