The Great Deku Tree
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…" And after only a few short moments a tiny ball of white light flew into my enclosure. As Navi grew closer I was able to make out her figure.
She bowed and said, "You called, Great Deku Tree?"
"Oh, Navi the fairy…listen to my words, the words of the Great 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 over an age the Kokiri Forest, the source of life, has stood as a barrier to deter 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 finally come for theboy 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!"
