Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Zelda or any of the characters related to it. I do, however, own the girl who has yet to be named.
-The Last Kokiri-
During the seven years the Hero of Time slept, some of the Kokiri asked Saria if she thought Link was still alive, after leaving the forest. She told them she knew he was still alive.
Once this reached Mido's ears, he was determined to leave the forest too, driven by his jealousy of Link. Yet with the invasion of the Deku Baba's, Mad Shrubs and Octoroks, and Saria's asencion to Sage, he finally decided that there was nothing left for a great leader like him in this forest. He had heard stories of the lands of Hyrule beyond the woods, and spread them quickly around the forest, so many of the Kokiri believed him.
A few years after Ganondorf's defeat, Mido and the Kokiri finally left the forest, ignoring the young Deku Tree's cries. Only Fado, and a younger Kokiri girl remained in the forest, Fado sticking to her beliefs about the outside, and remained loyal to the Deku Tree and Saria. Little is known about where the Kokiri went, and if they survived the harshness and reality of a world outside their haven. Deep in the forest, far beyond their original home, the cloth caps of the Kokiri have been found, and the sound of laughter often rings through the trees. However, no Kokiri or settlements have ever been found in the forest. It is almost universally agreed upon in Hyrule that the Kokiri died out, but their spirits remain bound to the forest. Then again, as those argue, no signs have ever been found to prove their deaths.
It is a sad twist on the Kokiri's belief they would die if they left the forest. Not because they couldn't survive anywhere else, but because without the Deku Tree protecting the forest children, they were almost certianly doomed among the dangerous forests. Few Kokiri ever learn to fight, as it was never really necessary.
What isn't known, is what happened the two that survived. Fado taught the other Kokiri girl about the ways of the forest and their history. She instilled a deep fear of the outside world in the girl, driven by her desire to keep the Kokiri race alive.
The Deku Sprout, now a young tree, was deeply weakened and hurt by the depature of the children his father protected before him. Perhaps that makes Fado's death all the more tragic, for at one time it would've been prevented. As the area the Deku Tree protected grew smaller, more of the forest's inhabitiants, once kept at bay by the Tree, awoke again. While gathering berries in the Lost Woods, a rabid patch of Deku Baba's tore at the Kokiri.
She had no chance.
The girl, now truly alone in the world, never strayed from the forest. That is, until a green clothed boy stumbled back into his old home...
Authors Note/Afterthoughts
So yes, this is a new story I'm starting! It's set after OoT, but on a sort of cross of the Adult and Child timeline, meaning that Hyrule is pretty much now peaceful and rebuilt, and Ganondorf is sealed away. Link is about 18, the girl (who will get a name later I promise!) is about 16-17 but of course, being Kokiri, she never ages visually. The first part should be uploaded later tonight!
