*Kokiri Forest*

I was having that nightmare again. I was in this big field, staring at this big castle, it was storming and the drawbridge suddenly came down. A white horse came galloping across the bridge, the girl riding on the front of the horse look at me terrified; behind them came another horse with a menacing rider. He scared me, he looked evil, his horse was black as night.

Suddenly I was being woke up, a small ball of light hovering over me, telling me something. The Great Deku Tree sent me a fairy? And wanted to see me? Well, I had to go get up and find out what's going on. Oh hey, Saria is outside my house, she's glad to see I finally had a fairy, I like Saria, she's always really nice to me. But it's off to see The Great Deku Tree first, Navi keeps telling me to go see him. I can't wait to show off my new fairy to everyone though, they're all going to be surprised, that'll show Mido.

Speaking of Mido, he's blocking my way, he's always being mean to me, just because I didn't get a fairy right away. Just goes to show him, he thinks he's so great but I'm the one The Great Deku Tree summoned. Serves him right! Wait a minute, he's not letting me pass? What's this he's saying about a sword and shield? Why would I need those to go see the GDT, I mean, he just wants to talk. Ugh whatever fine, I guess I'll go get a darn sword and shield.

I guess I'll get the shield from the shop, but first I have to find rupees, man I just got up, why do I have to go get rupees to buy a shield to please Mido? Oh well, time to throw some rocks, rupees sometimes get stuck in them, go figure. And if I get the sword I can chop down weeds, there are always rupees hiding in those too. Hmm, I guess I'll go through the crawl space and see if I can find any rupees on that side.

-crawls through the hole-

Oh hey, what's with this boulder? It's just kinda rolling on its own, I wonder where it goes?

-follows the moving rock-

What, look at that, I found a chest, I bet there is something cool inside, I hope it isn't locked! Score, it was open, and there was the Kokiri sword in there, sweet, now all I need is a shield and Mido will have to let me pass. Now to continue to find rupees and practice with this sword! But first I have to get back by the rolling boulder.

-runs behind the boulder again-

That wasn't too hard, time to cut those weeds, rupees will be easy to get now.

-throws rocks and cuts weeds-

Alright, 40 rupees all collected, time to go buy me a shield, why is it 40 rupees to buy a piece of wood? Oh well, I'm sure it will come in handy. Now that I have everything, might as well go see what Mido says now. Yup, he finally let me pass, but of course he called me a wimp first, he'll always be mean, but he doesn't matter anyways, at least Saria is nice to me.

Wait, the GDT knows about my nightmares? No wonder he's such a great tree, but he said there is evil coming, what does that have to do with me? What, he's been cursed? Who would do such a thing? And he wants me to break the curse, I'm 7, what can I do? Maybe Mido was right, no, I'll prove Mido and everyone else wrong, I can do this! Good thing I did pick up some gear before coming here. Here goes nothing.

-takes a deep breath & walks into the tree-

*Inside The Great Deku Tree*

Wow, it sure is dark in here, what's with all the spider webs in here? And those Deku Baba's man are they mean. They hurt too, I better be careful, but at least I got a few sticks out of them. Guess I better head up top and see what's going on.

-climbs convenient ladder-

Oh hey, look at that, another chest, bet there's something good in it! Huh, it's a map, that will definitely come in handy, I'm sure I'll get lost in here, this is a big tree after all. Ugh and there are skullwalltulas, gross, how am I supposed to climb the vines? I'll have to be really careful, I don't want to get bit by those.

-attempts to climb the vine-

Well that HURT! I can't get by those skullwalltulas, they keep trying to bit me and I fall off the wall. I guess I better just move on, I can't get up there now. The only other place for me to go though is that door up ahead, might as well try there.

-enters room-

Whoa, the door locked behind me, that's not good; the door in front of me is locked too, what do I do? Oh , what is that thing? That little bush just came to life, and it's spitting nuts at me, how rude! Those really hurt, how would he like it if I hit him with one? Well, I managed to hit him with his own nut, I'm really glad I brought that shield now, but now I have to corner him, what do I have to do to get out of here? Oh, he told me that if I jump off a high cliff and roll forward, I shouldn't get hurt, I'll have to remember that. Thank goodness the doors unlocked, now I can keep going, this place is starting to creep me out!

Woohoo, another chest, all I have to do is jump across onto that platform- what, it's shaking, what's wrong with it? Ah, it disappeared, what the heck? Ugh, guess I'll just climb up the vines, stupid platform! Sweet, I just got a slingshot! This is going to be awesome, now I can show those skullwalltulas whose boss! Now how they heck to I get back over- Oh, Navi found a ladder, I guess she's good for something after all, I just have to shoot it and-there, now I can climb that and leave here. Ha, showed them who was boss, now I can climb up top and see what's waiting for me!

-kills skullwalltulas and climbs the vines-

Ugh, skulltulas hanging down from the ceiling now, no wonder the GDT feels awful, he's got all these spiders crawling around inside him, bleh.

I guess I'll leave them alone for now, they aren't coming after me, I found another door to go through anyways. And once again, the door locks behind me, great. Well there is some light in here at least, oh, and a chest. But I can't get to it, that's not fair, hmm. Navi wants me to light up the torch I guess, there is also a switch on the ground. Maybe if I light up the room more, I'll figure something out. Whoa, the door unlocked when I lit up the second torch, well that's one problem down. Now to see what that switch does so I can see what's in that chest! Oh, the platforms came out of the ground, now I can get across! Hmm, there was a compass in the chest, that's handy I suppose, but it could have been rupees maybe. Oh but there is another skulltula hiding something, I wonder if I can get past it?

-kills skulltula-

Ha, got it, now to see what it was hiding. Oh, it was a chest, that's nice, it was a recovery heart, at least I won't die in here. Wow, and there was a gold skulltula behind it, neat! I got a token, I'm sure that will come in handy later. But for now, there's nothing left to do in this room, might as well go back. What am I supposed to do now? There aren't any more doors, although there is that web all the way down at the bottom of the tree. Let's see if it will hold me, it looks sturdy enough, weeeee

-kills skulltula and jumps-

Uh oh, it almost held me, good thing there was water down here, I guess I've got to explore more of the tree before I can leave. There are some gold skulltulas down here so that's a plus, got a few more tokens, but what am I supposed to do, there are webs everywhere! Guess I'll go stand on that switch, something usually happens when I step on those. Sweet, it lit up one of the torches in here, now I can see a little better. I wonder if I can get to that other door if I burn the web down? Might as well try it, I've got a few sticks to spare. Yes, burned it down, I wonder what's inside.

Ugh, another one of those Deku Scrub things, I wonder what this one will tell me? Huh, he has brothers, I have to defeat them too? And in a certain order, 2-3-1, I wonder what that means. But the door in front of me is locked, what do I do? Oh hey, this door as an eye emblem above it, I wonder what will happen if I hit it? Oh yea, I was right, door opened, now let's go see what he meant about brothers.

What the? There aren't any scrubs in here, it's just a big spiky pole and a platform in the water. There is no way I'll be able to fit under it if I jump on the platform, I'll run into the spikes, hmm. Navi says I can go underwater and look for something. Why can't she just tell me what I'm looking for?

-dives underwater-

Well, guess there was a switch under the water, cool, the water went down, now I can get under the spikes. And through the door- still no scrubs, just some more torches and a locked door. Guess I have to burn another stick, lighting them up should unlock the door, it's worked before. Yup, just like before, light up the torches and unlock the door.

Big surprise, another skulltula, I'm getting tired of these things, how did they get in the GDT anyways? Well now what am I supposed to do, there is a torch so I guess I'll light up the webs. What was that? Something just fell from the ceiling, ew what is it? Ah, there is another, oh man, another one. Why were they on the ceiling? Ew, those were gross, glad there aren't any more, now to burn down some webs. Well the first one didn't have anything for me, just some weird wall, that was a waste, hopefully the other one leads somewhere. Oh, a crawlspace, that must be where I'm heading next.

-crawls through the hole-

Hey, I'm back in the room I fell in. Now I'm up on the far side, with another web in the ground, guess I'll have to break this one too. But I can't jump on it, I can't get high enough, and I can't reach the torches over here. This place definitely wasn't made with a kid in mind. Wait… why are there torches inside of a tree in the first place? I don't want to think about that, I'll just find a way to get down there, better not catch the tree on fire though. I need to be more careful, I don't want to be responsible for burning him down. I'll just push that block down into the water, now I can get up and down since I'm short. And now I can use the torch from the other side, boy am I smart! Um, better hurry, don't want to burn the whole stick before I get over there now.

-lights the stick and makes his way to the web-

Made it, and now- I'm in more water, just great. Oh, here are those brothers, what was I supposed to do now, I forgot, he told me so long ago. Oh yea, he said 23 is number 1 so second then third then first.

-attacks Deku Scrubs-

Ha, got them, now what is he going to tell me? Queen Gohma? Who is that? I had no idea there was royalty in the GDT, what a secret to keep from everyone, guess I'll go meet her. That scrub told me to hit her when she's stunned, what is that supposed to mean? Oh well, in I go. Hmm, this place is kinda dark, like really dark, there is fog everywhere too, is that normal? Where is this Queen? What's that noise, sounds like something… crawling on…the ceiling…

-looks up, searching for source of the noise-

AAAHHHH! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT THING?
