In a universe different from ours two dreams are occurring. One in the Kokiri Forest. Another in Hyrule Castle. Both are prophecies.
The Kokiri's dream is in front of Hyrule Castle town during a storm. The drawbridge opens and a white horse carrying a woman and a young girl run off. Following them is an evil looking man dressed in black on a black horse.
The Hylian's dream is in front of a forest. Clouds are covering the sky. Then someone walks out of the forest. A small boy with a fairy holding a green stone. Once the boy walks out of the forest the clouds quickly disappear.
"Navi come here." said the giant Deku Tree. "Yes Great Deku Tree?" said the small blue fairy named Navi when she got to the Great Deku Tree, protector of the Kokiri and Kokiri Forest. "It is time." said the Great Deku Tree. "Time for what?" asked Navi. "Nevermind. Go to the young Kokiri by the name of Link and bring him to me." replied the Great Deku Tree. "Yes sir." said Navi.
Navi flew out of the Great Deku Tree's meadow and into the small Kokiri Village. Kokiri never grow up. They are always kids. They cannot leave the forest or they will die. They all wear green. Link is the outcast of the Kokiri. Nobody is really sure where he came from. Even himself. The only one who likes him is Saria. A young Kokiri girl with green hair. She is known for her stupendous ocarina playing. She also wrote a song for the ocarina. All the Kokiri's houses are actually hollow trees with furniture inside. That is all the Kokiri need since they spend most of their time outdoors anyway.
It didn't take very long for Navi to find Link's house. His was the only one with the entrance in the air and a ladder leading to it.
When Navi entered Link's house she found a small boy sleeping in his green clothes. The only thing he wasn't wearing was his hat. "Link! Link! Wake up! The Great Deku Tree has summoned you!" exclaimed Navi trying to wake up. "Huh? Who's there?" asked Link half asleep. "I'm Navi the fairy! I'm supposed to be your partner from now on! Now get up the Deku Tree has summoned you!" answered Navi. "A fairy? I don't have a fairy. And why would the Great Deku Tree summon me?" asked Link. "Kokiri these days." said Navi.
She flew over to Link's eyes and using the very small hands that not very many people see Navi forced Link's eyes to open. "Hey!" said Link waking up. "Who did that?" asked Link. "I did. Over here." replied Navi. Link looked around and saw a floating blue ball with wings. "A fairy! A fairy came to me!" exclaimed Link. "Yeah. And as I said before my name is Navi. Now come with me because the Deku Tree has summoned you." repeated Navi. "The Deku Tree has summoned me! Then let's go!" said Link. Link grabbed his hat off the small table in the middle of his house and ran out of the tree.
When Link went outside he saw his best friend Saria running toward his house. "Hey Link! Come down here!" exclaimed Saria. "Ok I'm coming." replied Link. Link climbed down the ladder to the ground. "I saw a fairy fly into your tree. Is it now your partner?" asked Saria when Link got on the ground. "Yeah. Navi meet Saria." said Link. "Hello Saria. We can't talk. Link was summoned by the Great Deku Tree." said Navi. "You were summoned by the Great Deku Tree Link! I can't believe it!" Saria almost yelled. "Me neither! Navi came into my house and, rudely, woke me up and told me that she was my partner and the Great Deku Tree summoned me!" replied Link. "Come on! We have to hurry!" said Navi. "Fine. Bye Saria." said Link as Navi pulled him away.
"Why did the Great Deku Tree summon me?" asked Link. "I don't know. The only thing he said besides to get you was 'It is time'." answered Navi. "Oh." replied Link.
Navi and Link got to the entrance way to the Great Deku Tree's Meadow. "Hey! You can't in there!" said Mido, the town bully and self-appointed boss of the Kokiri. "Why not? The Great Deku Tree summoned me. I have to go." said Link. "You can't go because um. Uh. You don't have a sword or shield! Um obviously the Great Deku Tree wants you to do something dangerous. So you have um a sword and shield to uh protect you! Yeah you need a sword and shield to protect you. And I won't let you pass until you have a sword and shield." said Mido. "Fine. I'll go get a sword and shield." said Link.
"I know where to get a shield. The shop sells them for R40. The only place I can think of to a sword is at the end of the obstacle course. But everybody's been to scared to get past the boulder." said Link as he and Navi were walking toward the shop. "Just forget that Kokiri! We need to go to the Great Deku Tree!" said Navi. "I think he was right. And it wouldn't hurt to have a sword and shield." said Link.
Link and Navi walked/flew up to the entrance to the shop. "What do you want?" asked the small shop owner when Link walked in the door. "I would like a Deku Shield." said Link. "Ok. That'll be R40" said the shop owner. Link handed him the money as the shop owner handed Link the shield.
Link hooked the shield on his shirt and walked to the obstacle course. "Where the obstacle course?" asked Navi. "It's by the exit of Kokiri Forest." answered Link. "Oh." said Navi.
When Link got to the entrance of the obstacle course (which was a hole in the side of a cliff) he got down on his hands and knees and crawled in with Navi following behind. "It's just a maze!" said Navi. "No. Mido said that there was a big boulder that rolls around in here. He said it might lead to the exit. So I'm going to follow it." said Link. "Ok." replied Navi.
Link waited for a little bit for the boulder. When the boulder came to the entrance and then went back the way it came Link started following it. When the boulder turned left so did Link, When the boulder turned right so did Link.
The boulder was going straight for a little bit until it finally turned right. Link was about to follow it until he saw a big chest. "Is that the sword Link?" asked Navi. "I don't know." answered Link. Link walked up to chest and tried to open it. Surprisingly it wasn't locked and Link opened it. Link couldn't see what was inside so he jumped up and reached in. When his hands came out Link was holding a sword. "I have the Kokiri Sword! Not even Mido could get it!" said Link happily. "Fine. Look. The boulder's coming back. We need to follow it to the entrance." said Navi. "Huh? Ok." replied Link.
Link and Navi followed the boulder back to the entrance. Link then got back on his hands and knees and crawled into the Kokiri Village. "Now can we go to the Great Deku Tree's meadow?" asked Navi. "Yeah." said Link. Navi and Link then started walking back to the Great Deku Tree's meadow.
"Hey! I thought I said you had to have a sword and shield to go to the Great Deku Tree's meadow!" said Mido when Link returned to the entrance to the Great Deku Tree's meadow. "I do." said Link as he unsheathed his sword and unhooked his shield. "Oh. You do have a sword and shield. Ok. Um. Don't let me try to stop you. Go right ahead. Yeah go right ahead." said Mido when he saw Link's sword.
"I thought we'd never get to be able to go to the Great Deku Tree's meadow." said Navi. "Me either." replied Link. Link and Navi then walked into the Great Deku Tree's forest (I will not put those three Deku Baba's in this fic. They are obviously there so that you will have Deku Sticks and no other reason).
Link was walking down a small walkway when he entered the Deku Tree's meadow. "Is that him?" asked Link when he saw the giant tree. "Yeah. That's him." answered Navi. "Welcome Link." said the Great Deku Tree in his loud booming voice. "Um hi." said Link meekly. "You have been very brave to come and hear what I have to say." said the Great Deku Tree.
"Why did you summon me?" asked Link. "A dark force has pervaded the land. Affecting those that are sensitive to it. I am sure that you have been affected in some way. As I have been affected." answered the Great Deku Tree. "How were affected?" asked Link. "A curse has been put upon me. I called for you to take away the curse. Will you help me?" asked the Deku Tree. Link thought for a moment. "Why would he ask me to get rid of the curse? I don't any magic so I couldn't make it vanish. I guess it must have somehow taken a solid form. I can't let the Great Deku Tree die. I have to help him." thought Link. "I'll help you in any way I can Great Deku Tree." said Link. "Thank you so much brave Kokiri." replied the Great Deku Tree.
The Great Deku Tree's "mouth" then opened wide creating a path to inside the Great Deku Tree. "Does he want me to go inside him?" link whispered to Navi. "Yes." answered Navi. "Now Link. Go inside, find the curse, and destroy it. You go too Navi and be Link's advisor. And Link, listen to everything Navi says for her words will most likely be helpful." said the Great Deku Tree. "Yes sir." said Link as he started to walk to the Great Deku Tree's mouth. And then Link walked inside the Great Deku Tree becoming the first Kokiri to walk inside the Great Deku Tree....
