Saria

What a funny mask! It really brightens my
spirits, yaha!

So? What's it like on the outside? Have you gotten
lost at all? And did you get to meet the princess?

Ah, sorry... I'm asking too many questions.

Once things settle, you'll have to tell me all
about it, 'K?

So, did you meet the princess, Link?

That's what the Great Deku Tree told you to do,
right? To go to the castle and talk to her.

If you haven't yet, you'd better hurry...

Link... Take good care of that ocarina, OK?
It's proof that we'll always be friends.

Link! You're back!

I'm glad... You seem well. I admit I was a little
worried about you.

I understand what the Great Deku Tree said... But,
please, be careful, Link...

Are you really going to fight that monster? If you
do, please don't get hurt...

Oh! Hi, Link. I was caught up playing my ocarina.

Welcome back, Link! So? You met the Great Deku
Tree, yeah?

What did he say?

What...

A monster is inside the Great Deku Tree... How
can that be... I understand you have to go, Link.

But, please...be careful, OK?

You really should hurry, since the Great Deku Tree
summoned you...

You know the way, yeah?

Ah, then I'll tell you again.

The Great Deku Tree is through the tunnel over
by Mido. Jump on the rocks to avoid the water!

Don't keep him waiting. And tell me what he
wanted later!

You should hurry. Catch me up later!

The Great Deku Tree is through that tunnel. Be
careful not to fall in the water, 'K?

Huh? I thought you knew. Well, no problem, then.

Oh, really? I'm happy to tell you again.

Let me share it with you again.

Hee hee... Oh, Link. Don't forget this time!

That's good, then. Tell me what you talked
about later!

No detours, 'K? Hee hee!

You're just always getting lost, Link... You know
I can't help but worry about you, hee hee!

You haven't spoken with the Great Deku Tree yet,
have you?

What is it, Link?

Hm? You got both the sword and the shield!

That's wonderful! Now you can go tell Mido to
let you through.

I see! So he cleared the path for you?

You did it, Link!

Now you'd better hurry over to the Great
Deku Tree.

Let me know what he said later!

He said to come equipped with both a sword and
a shield?

Seriously, that guy... Why is he always so mean to
you, Link?

But it's definitely safer to be prepared...

Do you remember where the shield is sold?

Oh, you're so forgetful! See over there?

You can buy one at the Kokiri Shop.

But I think it was pretty expensive. If you plan to
buy it, you'll need to gather a lot of rupees.

But...I think it was pretty pricey. Maybe there's a
good way to get rupees?

Ah, then no need to remind you.

Mido is right. You'll be safer with a sword and
a shield. You can buy a shield at the shop, but
as for a sword...

Well, all I know is it's somewhere in this forest.

Huh? Is that...

A sword? Good work finding that!

Do you remember where the shield is sold?

Now, all you need is a shield. And I know just
where to find one...

You can buy one over at the Kokiri Shop. You
don't really go there much, do you, Link?

But it's pretty expensive, so you'll need a lot
of rupees...

Maybe there's a way to find some?

A sword, huh... All I know is that there's one
somewhere in this forest. The boy over at the
training grounds might have ideas.

Do you know the way to the training grounds?

To get to the training grounds, go straight down
this path.

After you go under the bridge, you'll see stairs
on your left. It's right up those stairs.

The boy there might be able to tell you more
about the sword in this forest!

The boy there might be able to tell you about
the sword.

Great! Say hi to the boy at the training grounds for
me, yeah?

Alright. Well then, good luck!

A sword... I wonder if the boy at the training
grounds knows anything.

You got a shield? So you managed to buy it, hm?
Great work!

All you need now is a sword.

Mido said to bring a sword and a shield...
I wonder if he's actually worried about you.

I don't quite know where to find a sword.

Although I recall someone saying that there's one
somewhere in this forest...

Shields are sold at the shop! But I think they're
kinda pricey...

Shields are sold at the shop, but they're
pretty expensive...

I'm not so sure about where to find the sword...

But I do remember hearing that it's somewhere in
this forest.

Mido is right. You'll be safer with a sword and
a shield.

So he told you to bring a sword and shield, huh?

That guy... Why is he always so mean to you, Link?

Hm... But the forest has felt strange lately, so
maybe it is a good idea to be prepared.

I've heard there's a sword somewhere here in
our forest...

Hm... Who was it that told me about that?

Anyway, you need a shield too, right? Take a look
over there.

You see that shop just past the tree? You can
buy one there!

I recall it being pretty pricey...

Oh, welcome back! That was fast. What did the
Great Deku Tree say?

Oh, you haven't seen him yet...because Mido is
blocking the path?

Hello, Link!

Hm?

I wonder...

Could it be...

Ah, my Kokiri roots are showing...

Wow, you're good!

I like it!

Oh, wow!

Wow, you're good!

I like it!

Oh, wow!

Wow, you're good!

I like it!

Oh, wow!

Wow, you're good!

I like it!

Oh, wow!

What a strange song!

I've never heard this!

Link, is that your song?

Wow, you're good!

I like it!

Oh, wow!

Wow, you're good!

I like it!

Oh, wow!

Wow, you're good!

I like it!

Oh, wow!

Wow, you're good!

I like it!

Oh, wow!

Wow, you're good!

I like it!

Oh, wow!

Oh! Hang on, Link! Could that be...

Is something wrong?

Please don't...

H-hang on...

Eek!

Why...

It's hot!

Stop that!

Agh!

So bright!

What a cute girl mask! I wanna be friends with
her, yaha!

Um...Link? Are you washing your face properly?
Hang on... That's a mask, isn't it? Yaha!

Ah, my Kokiri roots are coming out...

What a silly mask! It puts me in a playful
mood, yaha!

What's wrong, Link? Seems like you're kind of
spacing out...

This temple has existed since ancient times. I'm
really curious about it, but I can't get in.

The Great Deku Tree told me a bit about it...

He said the temple has been here since he was
a sapling.

I don't know anything else about it... But I feel so
calm here in this place.

Maybe if I can get into the temple, I'll
understand more...

Unfortunately not... The stairs leading up to the
entrance are broken. I tried to get up there by
climbing that tree, but I couldn't quite make it.

But, you know, even if I can't get in there, it's
alright. I just like this place.

Right! Well, that's all I've got for you.

But if you ever find yourself thinking of all of us...
Just know you can come back anytime, Link.

Make sure to play my song, 'K? Just play Saria's
Song, and then we can talk anytime...

Maybe you'll think of me when you play your
ocarina. That would make me happy...

Well, the stairs are broken, so I tried climbing that
tree over there, but I couldn't quite make it.

They've been broken for a very long time. As I
understand it, nobody's been able to get inside
since ancient times...

Mhm. I once asked the Great Deku Tree how long
this temple has been around...

He said it's been here since he was a sapling.

I don't know anything else about it... But I feel so
calm here in this place.

I wonder why that is.

Odd, isn't it? This temple has existed since
ancient times, yet no one's ever fixed the stairs,
so we can't get in...

Did you come all this way just to talk to me? So
sweet of you.

This is the Sacred Grove. Pretty mysterious,
isn't it?

The temple behind me has been here since
ancient times, but no Kokiri knows what it's
meant for...

I'm so curious about it, but I can't get inside.
It's a bit of a shame...

It's quite the journey to get here, huh? Just
remember you can always talk to me through
the ocarina, 'K?

Hee hee... I'm surprised to see you here.

I'm so happy to see you, Link... But you have
things you need to do, don't you?

Be brave—I'm never far away.

Um, are you OK, Link? You're here visiting me, but
you're covering your face with a silly mask.

I'm right here, you know? No need to act like
that... As if we'll never see each other again.

What's wrong, Link? You're here visiting me, but
you look so sad.

Hm?

That ocarina sounds so mystical!

Even though it's a song I always play, it sounds so
different coming from that one... How odd!

That ocarina has such a beautiful tone! I get so
swept up listening to it.

Hm? It sounds a bit different than the last time
you played it for me.

Oh, that ocarina... Where'd you get it?

What?! The princess herself gave it to you! That's
incredible, Link!

The ocarina I gave you has a lovely tone to it, but
this one...

This one sounds beautiful and mystical! I get
immediately swept up listening to it.

Hee hee... You've been taking good care of the
ocarina I gave you, huh?

Don't forget that song, 'K? Whenever you play it,
we'll be able to talk...

If you ever get lonely, just play my song. You know
the one... Saria's Song. I'll always be here to talk
to you.

Hmm, what a lovely tone...

Wow, Link! You're really good at playing that!

Your eyes look so silly! It makes me happy, yaha!

Wearing such a silly mask... Link's always been so childish...

What a cute mask! It makes me want to
play, yaha!

That mask makes you look tough! Will you be my
protector? Yaha!

What a sad-looking mask... It brings my mood
down... Yaha...

Is that a hood depicting an animal? I've never
seen it before, yaha!

What a big mask! It makes me feel happy, yaha!

Is that mask inspired by fish? It's so unusual, yaha!

Ohhh, it's a grown-up lady mask. I've never seen
one quite like that before, yaha!

What a cute girl mask! I want to be friends with
her, yaha!

Huh? Link, are you washing your face properly?
Oh, wait... Yaha! Is that a mask?

What?!

Wind?!

What?!

Uh?!

So odd...

Oh, it's calm now...

Tee hee, nice song.

Pretty...

You're good!

Tee hee, nice song.

Pretty...

You're good!

Tee hee, nice song.

Pretty...

You're good!

Tee hee, nice song.

Pretty...

You're good!

I know that song...

It's Saria's Song!

So soothing...

So mysterious...

What a unique song...

Did you write that?

Tee hee, nice song.

Pretty...

You're good!

Tee hee, nice song.

Pretty...

You're good!

Tee hee, nice song.

Pretty...

You're good!

Tee hee, nice song.

Pretty...

You're good!

Tee hee, nice song.

Pretty...

You're good!

Stop...

Hey...

What are you doing?!

Hot!

Hot, hot, hot!

Hey!

Bright!

Wah!

Hey!

Wah!

Oh!

Agh!

Wah!

Brrr!

Cold!

Hey!

Um!

Whoa!

Come on. Let's go back outside.

All ready? Let's go back out, then!

Did you forget something?

This has got to be the tool Sheik was
talking about!

If what he said is true, we should be able to enter
the Forest Temple with it.

Wow...that was a lot to process, huh?

Hmmm. Maybe we should go see Sheik at the
Temple of Time.

I have a feeling we should tell him about Saria,
er, the Sage of the Forest.

Hmph!

What do you want?!

You look suspicious.

Leave this forest!

This... This is obviously all a lie! Go on. Just TRY
playing it.

This is obviously all a lie! Go ahead and try
playing it!

The song Saria plays doesn't sound like that at ALL!
You're a big liar. Go away!
