Hello. I am the Great Deku Tree from the Kokiri Forest. I have a very special tale to tell about a little girl who didn't belong in my forest. Her name was Link. Out of all of the Kokiri, she was the only one who didn't have a fairy. This was because she wasn't actually a Kokiri at all. She was a Hylian brought here very young. I was never told who she was or why she was brought but I had my suspicions. But telling you now would ruin the story. She was destined to go on a perilous journey all throughout Hyrule. From the tallest mountains to the deepest waters. She would traverse hollow trees, the belly of a beast, and even a castle or two. Even though that sounds miraculous, the story begins with the death of one very close to her.
She had had a very long night. She had been faced with horrifying nightmares of an evil man throwing her into a moat and drowning. It's no wonder that she woke up screaming and begging for air. Suddenly she heard a no so little voice. "Hey listen! Wake up so I can take you to see the Great Deku Tree! He needs to speak to you right now!" Apparently, Navi, the little fairy that just spoke, was a bit on edge after hearing the orders of which I gave her. I should be a bit more specific with what I had said.
Link was not exactly happy with the prospect of being yelled at to get out of bed when she was already dressed and ready for the day. She screamed, "Who are you and what are you doing in my house?!" "I'm Navi, Your new fairy. Now let's go see the Deku Tree!" The fairy said energetically. "Um… You do know that I'm already out the door, right?" Said the little "Kokiri" tentatively. The fairy blushed. "Of course I know you are! See? I'm out too!"
At this point, they noticed Link's best friend, Saria. She exclaimed surprise and happiness towards Navi, Ecstatic that her friend finally had a fairy. Afterwards, Link went to her backyard to get her sword and shield that were gifts given to her by the Great Deku Tree because it was either too expensive or too dangerous to get them herself. Not that she disliked danger. She just wasn't fond of big rocks rolling toward her in a narrow passage. She they went to the trail leading up to the Great Deku Tree where Mido was "keeping watch." He laughed at her and told her to get a sword and shield even though she already had them. She swung her sword's handle at his crotch and hit his Deku Nuts head on. After basking in the satisfaction of hearing Mido cry like a little baby, she went on.
After slicing a few plants in half, she found her way to me but refused to talk to me until she scavenged the entire area for something called a heart piece. All she found was a half eaten sandwich, 9 sticks, a crumbling boomerang, and a little, blue police box that had absolutely nothing to do with time. She finally decided to speak to me. But not until Navi was able to finish paying her respects to me with a few "Oh Great Deku Tree, I have brought her as you requested."s and a lot of "Please forgive us for being late!" I was happy when I was finally able to speak with Link.
"Do you know why I've called you here?"
"Do you have some sort of evil bug named Gohma that's sapping your health and you want me to kill it?"
"Um… basically, yes." I was deeply confused with how she could have guessed such a thing, but then again I did give her a Nintendo 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Christmas last year, so she probably thought I was being kind and letting her live out the first dungeon. How close she was to the truth.
"Really? Great! I think I know exactly what I'll do when I get inside! I'm ready!"
I sighed and opened my mouth wide enough so they could get in, before either of them remembered that they had forgotten to put on anything besides clothes. I couldn't have either of them put their hair into some weird style or put on makeup. At least Link would have only dyed her hair light blond, but I shudder to think of what Navi might do when she figures out she forgot to put on her make-up.
Both girls walked/flew in, with Navi apologizing for Link's behavior, and I closed my mouth. I'm sure that next chapter; Navi will absolutely adore telling you what transpired. After all, though this was in my body, how would I know what happened in there?
