Kokiri Forest

In the vast, deep forest of Hyrule...

Long have I served as the guardian spirit... I am known as the Deku Tree...

The children of the forest, the Kokiri, live here with me.

Each Kokiri has his or her own guardian fairy.

However, there is one boy who does not have a fairy...

Navi... Navi, where art thou? Come hither....

Oh, Navi the fairy... Listen to my words, the words of the Deku Tree...

Dost thou sense it? The climate of evil descending upon this realm...

Malevolent forces even now are mustering to attack our land of Hyrule...

For so long, the Kokiri Forest, the source of life, has stood as a barrier, deterring outsiders and maintaining the order of the world...

But...before this tremendous evil power, even my power is as nothing...

It seems the time has come for the boy without a fairy to begin his journey...

The youth whose destiny it is to lead Hyrule to the path of justice and truth...

Navi...go now! Find our young friend and guide him to me...

I do not have much time left.

Fly, Navi, fly! The fate of the forest, nay, the world, depends upon thee!

Hello, Link! Wake up!

The Great Deku Tree wants to talk to you! Link, get up!

Hey! C'mon!

Can Hyrule's destiny really depend on such a lazy boy?

You finally woke up! I'm Navi the fairy!

The Great Deku Tree asked me to be your partner from now on! Nice to meet you!

The Great Deku Tree has summoned you! So let's get going, right now!

Well done, Link...

Thou hast verily demonstrated thy courage...

I knew that thou wouldst be able to carry out my wishes...

Now, I have yet more to tell ye, wouldst thou listen...
Yes
No

Now...listen carefully... A wicked man of the desert cast this dreadful curse upon me...

Farore...

With her rich soul, produced all life forms who would uphold the law.

Thou must never allow the desert man in black armor to lay his hands on the sacred Triforce...

Thou must never suffer that man, with his evil heart, to enter the Sacred Realm of legend...

That evil man who cast the death curse upon me and sapped my power...

Because of that curse, my end is nigh...

Though your valiant efforts to break the curse were successful, I was doomed before you started...

Yes, I will pass away soon... But do not grieve for me...

I have been able to tell you of these important matters...

This is Hyrule's final hope...

Link... Go now to Hyrule Castle...

There, thou will surely meet the Princess of Destiny...

Take this stone with you. The stone that man wanted so much, that he cast the curse on me...

You got the Kokiri's Emerald! This is the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, now entrusted to you by the Great Deku Tree.

The future depends upon thee, Link... Thou art courageous...

Navi the fairy... Help Link to carry out my will...

I entreat ye... Navi... Good...bye...

Let's go to Hyrule Castle, Link!!

Good-bye...Great Deku Tree...

Hi there! I'm the Deku Tree sprout!

Because you and Saria broke the curse on the Forest Temple, I can grow and flourish!

Thanks a lot!

Hey, have you seen your old friends? None of them recognized you with your grown-up body, did they?

That's because the Kokiri never grow up! Even after seven years, they're still kids!

You must be wondering why only you have grown up!

Well, as you might have already guessed, you are not a Kokiri! You are actually a Hylian!

I am happy to finally reveal this secret to you!

You are a Hylian, and were always bound to leave this forest.

And now... You have learned your own destiny... So you know what you must do...

That's right... You must save the land of Hyrule!

Now, Link, break the curses on all of the Temples, and return peace to Hyrule!!
