Deku Scrubs

Hmm? You don't look like a Deku Scrub.

With that getup, you're clearly an out-of-towner. I'll answer your questions if you have any.

Where am I? Deku Scrubs? I'm fine—thanks.

Any more questions?

Where am I? Deku Scrubs? I'm fine—thanks.

You're in Faron Wetlands. Not an easy part of the world to live in.

Gotta be tough, or this place will gobble you up!

We're folks who keep up with the latest trends. And we're cute too.

Basically...we're the best.

Oh, the Scrub next to me went underground.

Guess you'd have to yank them out if you wanted to talk to them.

Gotcha. Well, have fun out there.

You know where to find me.

With that getup, you're clearly an out-of-towner. I'll answer your questions if you have any.

Membership card? I'm fine—thanks.

Sorry, don't have one.

You'll find that most of the Deku Scrubs living in the Faron Wetlands are over in Scrubton.

Maybe one of them can help you out.

Oh, was that all? I guess you've got everything figured out.

I saw you getting dragged to the clink.

That's rough. But I hope you don't come away thinking Deku Scrubs are all bad seeds.

I'd say I'm a pretty good seed.

Someday, I'm going to travel the world. Make it so everybody knows my name.

I'll become the Deku Scrub all the others wish they could be.

Thanks for siccing those Mothulas.

Now I've got a long, smoothie-filled life ahead of me!

Blossu said they got their membership card here. But there's no one around!

What do I do?

Membership card? Farewell.

Huh? You want to become a member of the Sweet Spot too?

Well, I was told I could get a membership card here, but there's nothing around.

Blossu, that joker! They must've been pulling my sprig!

Who's Blossu? I'll just be going.

Blossu's my friend from a southern corner of Faron Wetlands.

Would you believe they actually have a huuuge patch of dark thorns right at their home?

Some Scrubs get all the luck!

Keep a lookout for pranksters!

Whoa! You got a membership card?

Shucks, lucky you.

There's a rumor you can find treasure in one of the caves around here.

You think I ought to break into treasure hunting? Go and make my fortune?

Do something!

Good luck doing...whatever you're doing. I hope it brings our friends back!

You did it! You saved our friends!

Whew. I'll tell you, I'm starting to think the dark thorns cause too much trouble.

One day, this place'll be the next Sweet Spot!

Living next to the dark thorns. Talk about lucky!

You better not tell anyone.

If you do, I'll... I'll cry really loud! And make you feel bad!

Guess I might as well give you advice. Ask away!

Faron Wetlands? I'm fine—thank you.

What do you want to know about the Faron Wetlands? I'll tell you what's around.

What's to the east? What's to the west? What's to the south? Never mind.

You go east, there's some old ruins. I'm talking O-L-D. There's a bunch of burning pillars there.

But I wouldn't head that way. There are monsters that can squish down flat. Creepy!

To the west, there's a Beakon. They've got flashy feathers and squawk something fierce.

Watch out for those. If they see you, they'll call over other monsters.

To the south? There's...uh... I don't know what's to the south.

Oh! Hang on. I think maybe somebody has a home down there.

You ask, I answer!

Guess I might as well give you advice. Ask away!

Membership card? Faron Wetlands? I'm fine—thank you.

Ah, you mean a membership card for the Sweet Spot?

Yeah, I have one. I see the look you're giving me, and no, I'm not handing it over.

Try helping out a Scrub in need so that they owe you a card. That's how we do things around here.

Guess I might as well give you advice. Ask away!

Faron Wetlands? Deku Scrub gossip? I'm fine—thank you.

You want to hear some gossip?

I don't normally trade in rumors, but I heard the outside world has monsters called "dogs."

Dog... Dog... Just the sound of the word sends a shiver up my sprig!

Gah! You plucked me!

So then...what did you pluck me for?!

I couldn't have imagined living my life without cotton candy. But it's actually fine.

Do you think the Great Spider might show up?

Then we'd have all the cotton candy we could eat!

I wish I lived here.

It's not a crime to relax, you know.

You should try it once in a while!

Uhhh... A visitor? I don't get many of those, since I'm kinda out of the way.

Are you...lost, maybe?

I don't understand why everyone's gathered in front of my house.

Shouldn't they be at the Sweet Spot upnorth?

This is a disaster! What am I going to do?

Nobody's listening to me!

Membership card? Sorry to bother you.

A membership card? Yeah, I have one, but we can talk about that later!

Ugh! I wish someone would deal with the thorns!

Feel free to do whatever you want with that membership card.

You know, I'm really grateful you got rid of the dark thorns and I have my home back!

The only problem is...nobody visits me anymore. Do you want to hang out?

Nyam, nyam... This is a great spot for cotton candy. Like the Sweet Spot upnorth!

Nyam, nyam... Nyam, nyam, nyam...

Ugh, I'm bored. Everything's so boring.

It's good things are peaceful. I just wish peace wasn't so...boring.

I heard if you get close enough to the thorns, you can have all the cotton candy you want.

Well, the Sweet Spot up north is the best place to get it. Members only though!

Like at the Sweet Spot up north? You have to be a member to get in there.

Membership card? Talk to you later.

If I could, I'd eat my weight in cotton candy.

I'm pretty sure that Scrub down at Heart Lake is a member.

Heart Lake? Thanks for your time.

Heart Lake's southwest of here. It's where Scrubs go if they're...y'know, sweet on each other!

Really? Not even one little bite of yours?

Mm... What's in it for me?

You're heartless!

Says the Scrub who's already got their own.

Weird. I haven't seen the Great Spider around for a while.

Looking back on it, I didn't love having those sticky webs everywhere.

Right, hard to walk over. And all the baby spiders around—not great.

Do you think the Great Spider might've been...bad?

Uh... Naaah!

No more teasing—promise! So can we play hide-and-seek?

You promise, huh? If you get why what you did was wrong, then...I guess so.

Yay, it worked!

Uh-huh... You sure you get it?

So, it's the sound of a Drippitune that makes it rain.

I figured it out aaall by myself! Except, well, I guess you helped.

Say, is it true you have a membership card for the Sweet Spot?

What? No! Who told you that? That's so ridiculous, I'm actually laughing. Ha! Haha!

It's a little suspicious how much you're trying to deny it.

You even got someone staring at us.

Membership card? Farewell.

Why is everyone asking me that? I don't have a membership card, OK?!

Who... Who are you, anyway?!

Oh, guess they weren't curious after all.

OK, I'll come clean. I did have a membership card for the Sweet Spot.

I knew it!

Yeah...but then a Beakon came out of nowhere and snatched it out of my hands.

The whole thing made me so sad, it was easier to pretend I'd never had one at all.

Aw, pal. Tough break.

Everyone's keen on smoothies now, but I know something better.

What's that?

A friend by my side.

Heh. Good one.

I guess while I'm out in the open, I can tell you about something!

Faron Wetlands? I'm fine—thanks.

What part of the Faron Wetlands did you want to know about?

What's to the west? What's to the south? What's to the east? Never mind.

To the west there's some grass. It's tall! So tall you can't see the monsters inside.

What I'm saying is, be careful, or you'll get a nasty jab from a Lizalfos.

To the south you'll find Heart Lake! One of the most famous spots in all the wetlands.

They say the bonds you make there are stronger than the sturdiest oak.

Oh, there's nothing good to the east, so Deku Scrubs don't usually tread that way.

Though I think someone does have a home in the southeast somewhere.

I guess while I'm out here, I can tell you something!

Membership card? Faron Wetlands? I'm fine—thanks.

You're looking for a membership card for the Sweet Spot?

I think there's a Scrub down by Heart Lake who has one of those!

That's to the south. Probably best to use a map if you want to find it.

I guess while I'm out here, I can tell you something!

Faron Wetlands? Deku Scrub gossip? I'm fine—thanks.

You want some gossip? I heard something about Scrubton I couldn't believe.

Big as the city is, apparently a long time ago, it used to be WAY bigger!

All the ruins lying around are from back in the day. That's the legend, anyway.

Aaah! You plucked me!

Aww. I was excited to have someone to talk to.

I just wanted cotton candy! That's all I wanted!

But cotton candy is the best. What if... What if we never get to have it again...

Heh! Just kidding!

Smoothies are the greatest.

Cotton candy's day really came and went. It's so sad how that fad sucked us all in...

Some spiders showed up in the Faron Wetlands and started making webs everywhere.

What's strange is the webs smell sweet. Hmm...

I was the first Scrub to eat cotton candy. Really, I kicked off the trend!

I was the first Scrub to eat cotton candy. Really, I kicked off the trend!

Membership card? Talk to you later.

Oh, I gave mine away.

Who did you give it to?

A Scrub I met near the dark thorns in the East Ruins.

We got to be such good pals, it seemed like a no-brainer!

You take care.

Have you had cotton candy before?

I have. I haven't.

Hmph. Well, there's no way you've been to the Sweet Spot up north!

More cotton candy there than you can shake a cotton-candy stick at! But it's members only.

You ought to try heading up north to the Sweet Spot, then.

Although...you can't get in without a membership card.

Smoothies have taken over the city. Everybody in Scrubton's obsessed!

Smoothies? Talk to you later.

They sell them at that shop in east Scrubton.

So tasty. You gotta get over there!

Take care now!

I'm not sure anyone else has even tried them.

They've got a great product, but the owner's just no good at promoting it.

Have you had something from the shop?

What do you mean? I have.

I'm talking about a smoothie. So fresh! Perfect for a hot day.

Well! Glad to meet a fellow smoothie fan!

Whew, all that talk about getting rich got me thirsty.

Aaaand ya know what's good for thirst? A nice, fresh smoothie!

Meanwhile, everyone else is on the cotton-candy bandwagon.

I don't care how uncool it makes me. I'll never stop buying smoothies!

Have you had something from the shop?

What do you mean? I have.

I'm talking about a smoothie. So fresh! Perfect for a hot day.

Well! Glad to meet a fellow smoothie fan!

No sign of the cotton-candy craze dying down.

But smoothies WILL take over! I know they will!

Smoothies have taken over! I'm glad I was a smoothie fan this whole time.

Although...it's weird to see everyone else get into MY thing.

I guess there's something you want to talk about!

Faron Wetlands? Not really.

Sure, OK!

Right now in Faron Wetlands, it's...peaceful!

Don't know what brought you here, but I hope you relax and enjoy your stay.

Frog monsters, electric monsters, recent trends... What do you wanna know about?

Frog monsters? Electric monsters? Recent trends? Never mind.

The frog monsters are called Drippitunes!

When they croak, they make it rain. Always welcome!

Well, not always. It's pretty annoying when you want a little sunlight...

The electric monsters are called Buzz Blobs!

I know they look cute, but you really shouldn't pet them, or you'll get a nasty shock.

Trust me, I've tried. So many times. It hurts!

All these dark thorns showed up all over the Faron Wetlands. So weird and...purple!

But—you can get all this cotton candy, and it's so good!

If you want to try some, drop by the Sweet Spot in northern Faron Wetlands.

All right. Bye, then!

I guess there's something you want to talk about!

Membership card? Faron Wetlands? Not really.

I know there's a Scrub by the name of Blossu who has a membership card.

Can't remember exactly where they live... A corner of Faron Wetlands, I think?

I guess there's something you want to talk about!

Faron Wetlands? Deku Scrub secrets? Not really.

Most outsiders don't know about Heart Lake. It's in southwest Faron Wetlands.

Between you and me...my great-great-great- grandscrub dug that lake.

For some reason nobody from Scrubton believes that. But it's true!

Frog monsters, electric monsters... What do you wanna know about?

Frog monsters? Electric monsters? Never mind.

You know, the Mothulas nibbled on my sprig...

I was sad about it, but I kinda feel like this look is working for me?

You plucked me!

But then...why'd you pluck me?

Guhhh. Still not here... Where are you, my sweet?

Hm? "Rift"? You mean the dark thorns?

Sure, there's some here, but there's a lot more of them at the Sweet Spot upnorth.

I must've messed things up... *sniff* I must've said something hurtful!

NOW MY SNOOKUMS HATES ME! WAAAH!

Membership card? I'll...just be going.

I don't want to talk about that! I'm kinda *sniff* going through something...

NOW MY SNOOKUMS HATES ME! WAAAH!

Don't ever leave me!

Of course not, honey tart.

We'll stay together forever...till we're old and wilting.

Tee-hee! You always know how to make my leaves flutter!

I don't understand what's going on. But they both seem happy.

I'm having fun, I'm eating good—life's great!

I hope nothing changes and everything stays just like this.

I want cotton candy. But it's so much trouble to get ahold of!

I wish some of the dark thorns were growing closer by...

I wish some of the dark thorns were growing closer by...

Membership card? Farewell.

Sorry, friend. I heard the Sweet Spot reached its membership cap.

You want to join, you'll need for some gullible Scrub to give up their membership card.

If I got into the Sweet Spot, I'd stuff myself silly with cotton candy...

I heard the Sweet Spot already gave out all their membership cards.

The weird thing is...nobody knows who made them to begin with.

One day cotton candy was all the rage, and the next, blammo! You can't find it anywhere!

Guess you can't count on popularity lasting, huh?

It's not easy keeping up with trends.

Besides, what I really want to do is start a trend of my own.

How did I go so long without this taste in my life?

I love the feeling of anticipation when it's almost ready.

Just the smell makes my mouth water!

This is Heart Lake! It's the most romantic spot in Faron Wetlands.

I'm here waiting for someone I'm, y'know, sweet on. Tee-hee!

Nyam, nyam... Happy days in Scrubton!

What are you eating? I'll leave you to it.

Nyam, nyam, nyam.

Cotton candy, pal! It's sweet and springy and delicious. Nobody can get enough!

And it's all thanks to the Great Spider!

The Great Spider? I've got to be going.

That's the big spider that came from the dark thorns.

We make cotton candy out of the spider's webs! Clever, right?

Hmph! How did YOU get a membership card?

And...will you give it to me when you're done with it?

The Smoothie Shop owner's way nicer than those mean old spiders.

Welcome to Faron Wetlands. It's pretty quiet right now.

So...why'd you come here? Were you bored? Or did you just get reeeal lost?

Give me a sip of your smoothie!

*slurrrp*... *slurrrrrrrrp*...

It's no use. They're drinking it so loud, they can't hear me.

This is the clink. The hoosegow! It's where we put folks who've done bad things.

Thieves always end up in the clink!

You know, you're a dead ringer for the crook we locked up.

Hang on! You ARE that crook!

Back to your cell!

The Scrubs inside will still be chasing after you. Just pretend it's a game of tag.

Nothing to see here. Scram!

In this town, bad deeds will buy you a ticket to the slammer.

Hang on! You're the one we locked up!

Back to your cell!

You're welcome to wander the clink!

The Scrubs inside don't know that though.

If they see you, they'll lock you up again, so look alive in there.

No one goes into the Sweet Spot without a membership card!

Only members allowed through here!

You can head on in whenever you like.

You're a lucky one. The things I'd do to get a membership card...

Guess the Sweet Spot's closed now.

Seems that way.

So, there's no reason for us to be standing here.

*sigh* Yeah...but what else would we do?
