Kokiri
This page covers the Kokiri with no name of their own in Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64, found in Kokiri Forest and Kokiri Shop.
A by the stone, pick it up! A by the stone, pick it up!
Mean old Mido...he made me pick up the rocks in front of his house.

What they say
The three yellow icons in the upper right are called C icons.
They display the things you can use with the C-Left, C-Down and C-Right buttons.
Once you get a C Button item, go into the Select Item Subscreen and set it to one of the three C Buttons.
The blue icon at the top of the screen is called the Action Icon.
This Action Icon shows you what action you will perform when you press A.
Stop in many spots to see the different things you can do.
There are three kinds of items: Equipment items, C Button items and Quest items.
Equipment items are things like the sword, shield and clothes that are effective when you equip them.
C Button items can be set to C-Left, C-Down, and C-Right, and used by pressing those buttons.
Quest items are things you collect during your adventure. You just carry them around.
If you want to change equipment or just check on your inventory, press START. You will get into the Subscreens.
Switch to one of the four different Subscreens with Z or R and change or check items as you please. Take a look around!
When you decide to equip an Equipment item, press A. For C Button items, press C-Left, C-Down or C-Right.
That was a pretty long explanation. Did you understand everything?
Well, just remember this. If you want to save, press START to get into the Subscreens, then press B.
If you press C-Up, you can change your view.
In a place like this, it will switch to a top-down view. Outdoors, in a field for example, it will switch to a first-person perspective.
Also, when "Navi" is displayed in the upper right of your screen, Navi the fairy wants to talk to you. Use C-Up to listen to her!
Well, if you play around with it, you'll figure it out.
Where's Saria? Do you know Saria, mister? That's weird...
Where has Mido gone during such an emergency?
We sell shields, but not swords!
Kokiri Forest
You have a cool Slingshot, huh?
You know what's cool about it? You can aim while holding down C and shoot by releasing the button! How cool!
If you have the Slingshot ready, you can use Z Targeting to shoot while moving.... Did you know that?
Mido is very upset! Did something happen to him?
Teach me some fancy fencing! All I've ever done is tap B all my life!
Since it's dangerous outside, I always stay inside my house. But I'm bored to death in here!
I see. You didn't have any problems entering the forest, mister...
Did the meanies out there bother you much? Before the Great Deku Tree died, you wouldn't see things like that around here....
Saria said she's waiting at the usual spot.
What? Where are you going?!
To the castle? Where is the castle?
I wonder if the Great Deku Tree gave life to everything in the forest, I mean in addition to us Kokiri?
Oh, you have a fairy now?! That's great, Link!
What?
You've been called by the Great Deku Tree? What an honor!
He may give you a special gift! Tee hee!
That's because the Great Deku Tree is our father, the forest guardian, and he gave life to all of us Kokiri!
I still think you really look like somebody I've seen before, mister.
Haven't I seen you somewhere before, mister?
Did you know that if you hold Z Targeting forward when you jump off a cliff, you'll roll when you land. This will absorb the shock of your landing.
If you fall too far, though, you'll still get hurt...
Hey, let's work on some moves!
To jump sideways while Z Targeting, press A as you move right or left.
To do a backflip while Z Targeting, press A as you move backwards.
To do a roll attack while Z Targeting, press A as you move forward. While you roll, you can avoid damage.
If you have your sword ready while Z Targeting, you can do a jump attack by pressing A! A jump attack does double damage!
You can use Z Targeting on the stone next to me, so let's practice!
You're such a big, strong guy! I really want to be like you someday even though I'll always be small.
We Kokiri won't ever get bigger for the rest of our lives... What a bummer!
It would be awesome to be big like you, mister! I really want to be big like you!
I want to be big and strong and beat up the Deku Scrubs, but...
Oh, you're OK? You didn't leave the forest after all, did you?
We Kokiri will die if we leave the forest!
You're not going to try to leave the forest, are you?!
The Great Deku Tree said that if a Kokiri leaves the woods, he or she will die!
You're not allowed to leave the forest!
Link... I wonder if he will come back...
Mister, do you know a boy named Link?
He left the forest and never came back...
Jumping is going out of style now. I'm crazy about doing backflips! Can you do one?
You and Saria are close friends, so will you help me cut the grass?
I'll let you keep anything that you find while cutting it.
That meanie, Mido, made me cut the grass at Saria's house.
Mido told Saria he would do it so she would like him, but I'm the one doing all the work!
I feel like I've known you for a long time, mister!
Why is that fairy following you around? You're not one of us!
Saria wanted to see you... Did she find you already?
The best place to go to learn some new skills is in the Forest Training Center. It's on the hill just above here.
Oh, a fairy finally came to you!
Now you have a lot to learn!
Now that the Deku Tree's sprout is growing in the Great Deku Tree's meadow, the forest has returned to normal!
Maybe we misunderstood....
Have you been travelling around much, mister? Have you ever met a boy named Link?
Mido said that the Great Deku Tree withered because that boy did something wrong to it...
Only Saria defended Link--until she left.
I can teach you about the icons at the top of the screen.
About the yellow icons
About the blue icon
Somehow, a fair wind has begun to blow recently.
Since the Great Deku Tree withered...more meanies have been appearing in the forest... I'm scared!
If you want to learn about the map and items, just ask me. But don't ask unless you want to hear a long explanation.
What do you want to know about?
About the map
About items
Don't ask
Since a fair wind started to blow, I'm sure Link will come back!
The Forest Temple is located in the Sacred Forest Meadow in the far side of the Lost Woods.
An evil wind is blowing from the direction of the Forest Temple.
Saria left, saying, "I have to do something about it!"
Link, are you going to go away?
My sister took some Rupees and went shopping at the store that has a red roof. Tee hee!
Speaking of Rupees, a green one is worth one, a blue one is worth five and a red one is worth twenty. Hee hee!
I wonder if Saria will come back...
Saria went to the temple and hasn't come back...
Do you want to know how to use the C-Up Button?
Yes
No
I'm sure Link will return someday!
If you want to go to the Lost Woods, you'd better equip the right gear! Hee hee!
What did you do to the Great Deku Tree?
Kokiri Shop, Kokiri Forest
Mido might know something about Saria's whereabouts.
I think Mido is sulking in one of the houses around here.
What? Where are you going?!
To the castle? Where is the castle?
When a fairy flies near a person or thing, press Z to look in that direction.
If you use Z Targeting, you can talk to people from a distance, like we're doing now.
When you have nothing that you can target, you can press Z just to look forward. Try it!
Yes, yes! That's how you use a fairy!
It's so great that you finally have a fairy partner!
I'll teach you how to talk to people using your fairy!
You can buy arrows at a shop only if you have a bow. Have you got one, mister?
Kokiri Shop
If you lose your shield, will you come back?
This shop...It sells things you can get in the forest for free! Tee hee!
Do you know how to use the Deku Shield? Tee hee!
When you get the shield, press START to get into the Subscreens. Select the Equipment Subscreen with Z or R.
On the Equipment Subscreen, choose the item you want to equip and press A to equip that item.
Once you equip it, hold it up with R and change its angle with Control Stick. Tee hee!
I'm sure Link will return someday!
Hi, mister! You can't use a Deku Shield! It's only for kids!

Goblin-like forest people who never grow old; each has a fairy at their side from birth, and they die if they leave the forest.
