Story

What happens in Inside the Deku Tree in the main story, with the lines from its cutscenes. All the steps in order are on the quests page.

Step 3 (Young Link)

Break the curse inside the tree. Before he dies, the tree tells how the goddesses made the world, warns of the man in black armor, and hands over a Spiritual Stone.

Before time began, before spirits and life existed...

Three golden goddesses descended upon the chaos that was Hyrule...

Din, the goddess of power...

Nayru, the goddess of wisdom...

Farore, the goddess of courage...

The three great goddesses, their labors completed, departed for the heavens.

And golden sacred triangles remained at the point where the goddesses left the world.

Since then, the sacred triangles have become the basis of our world's providence.

And, the resting place of the triangles has become the Sacred Realm.

This evil man ceaselessly uses his vile, sorcerous powers in his search for the Sacred Realm that is connected to Hyrule...

For it is in that Sacred Realm that one will find the divine relic, the Triforce, which contains the essence of the gods...

A round shaft in the middle of the first room is covered by a web that neither the sword nor sticks can break, so Link climbs to the top of the hollow tree and jumps down onto it.

Da sich das Netz weder durch das Schwert, noch durch die erhaltenen Stäbe zerstören läßt, begibt sich Link zum höchsten Punkt des hohlen Baumes und springt von dort aus nach unten.

After the fall Link lands in the catacombs; he hits a switch to light a torch, then carries the fire across the water on a Deku Stick to burn a web blocking a door.

Mittels eines Deku-Stabes transportiert Link im Anschluß das Feuer auf die andere Seite des Wassers und zerstört das Spinnennetz.

Link opens a locked door by shooting the eye above it with a Deku Seed.

Trifft Link das Auge, öffnet sich die Tür.

In room 10 Link dives to hit an underwater switch that lowers the spiked roller, leaving him a few seconds to cross.

Im nächsten Raum (10) aktiviert Link in einem kurzen Tauchgang einen unter Wasser liegenden Schalter. So bewegt er die Dornenwalze, die ihn am Überqueren des Wassers hindert, nach oben.

Link pushes the block down from the upper level to join both levels and burns the web (G) with a burning Deku Stick.

Link schiebt den Block von der oberen Ebene herab.
