CHAPTER 2 - I Can't See The Forest, There's Too Many Trees
They are now in the Kokiri Forest, which was previously named 'Hair' but it was changed because of the
accident. A young girl runs up to them.
"Who's that", asks Mario. "I haven't seen her before."
"That's because you're from...", Link says but stops. "Hey, where ARE you from, Mario?"
"Um..."
"Let me guess - you don't call your country anything. Right?"
"Right."
"Ha! And you call yourselves a country! No offense, Mario."
"Well, at least we can carry more than 500 rupees at the same time..."
"Stop fighting!" says the girl. "Mario, my name is Saria. Pleased to meet you. Tell me, what are you doing here
in the forest? Come to visit old friends?"
"Not really", Link says. "We're looking for the Scared Witch. Seen her around?"
"The Scared Witch? Ha! That's just what they tell little kids to avoid them from getting lost in the woods! There
are no witch in the Lost Woods! You may search as much as you want, you're not gonna find anything! I tell ya!
You'll only get lost and never get back!"
"Hey, why so pessimistic?" Zelda says.
"I'm not pessimistic. I'm realistic."
"Alright. No matter what you think, we're going in. Before we start, do you know anyone that claims to have
seen the Scared Witch?"
"Yeah, Mido claims that he saw her last summer. He never left his house since that day. You should ask him for
help. Well, don't expect to find anything anyway..."
"Thanks for the advice, Saria. We'll ask Mido."
"Who's Mido", asks Mario.
"You wouldn't know, you're... you're not from these parts."
Link and Zelda giggles.
"Well, at least our princess doesn't need a caretaker..."
Then they shut up.
"Come on. Let's get to Mido instead", Mario says and knocks on Mido's front door. 'It's open!', they hear.
"Mido! Long time no see", says Link.
"Well, if it isn't Link... You've been gone for a long time. It was fun while it lasted. What brings you here?"
"We're here about..." *DRAMATIC MUSIC* "...The Scared Witch."
"I saw her! Don't listen to what everyone else is saying! I am not insane! I saw her, for real! Don't you believe
me?"
"We believe you", says Link. "We do."
"You DO? You believe me?"
"Yeah, sure", says Mario. "Now, what do you know about her? Where did you see her?"
"I saw her in the woods..."
"Yes, but WHERE in the woods? Was it a long way from the entrance?"
"How would I know? It wasn't very long from the entrance, but still a pretty long way to go..."
"Was it more to the left... or more to the right?"
"It was straight ahead, I think..."
"Thank you. That's all we need to know."
The three of them leave Mido's house and enters the Lost Woods.
