The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Rewrite - Chapter 3
"Deku Tree remembers his troubled past..."
On our last exciting episode of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Rewrite, Link awoke and mistook Navi for a sword and a book for a shield. Oh, that Link. He's so kooky! Well, anyway, after learning how to use a fairy (and laughing in the face of other Kokiri who made fun of him), he went to see the Deku Tree, but Mido cautioned him that THREE Deku-Babas were on that 15-path to the Deku Tree, so Link would need a sword to kill him. He probably forgot to mention that they don't even attack you and you would only get hurt if you ran straight into them on purpose, but that's okay. Who knows, he may need his sword and shield for something. Eventually.
Link: (walks into the area with the Deku Tree) Okay, so where is this Deku Tree guy, anyway?
Deku Tree: Look here, young one, I am here.
Link: (looking around warily) Who said that!?
Deku Tree: It is I, the great Deku Tree, right in front of thou.
Link: (smiling slyly) Ahh, I got it figured out! ...Come out from behind that tree, Mr. Deku Tree! I know you're hiding somewhere behind that ugly old thing!
Deku Tree: (a single tear rolls down his face, as he remembers bygone days of sadness)...
Deku Tree: (only a tiny Deku Tree, in school with other, bigger deku trees. You know
he gets picked on because he's smaller and he wears thick glasses that are bandaged in the middle with tape, and he gets good grades. And he's ugly and nerdy-looking.)
Random Deku Tree #1: (pushes the Deku Tree down and laughs)
Deku Tree: Hey! Leave me alone you big bully!
Random Deku Tree #1: Don't you talk to us that way, little runt! What should we do to
him for disrespecting us, dude!?
Random Deku Tree #2: Let's make him run! You know, he has that asthma thing!
Deku Tree: No! Please, not that!
Random Deku Tree #1: (smiling evilly) Ha ha ha, yeah! Let's make him run until he has to stop to take that asthma thing, and then we can beat him up!
Deku Tree: No! Please don't! (begins to run away)
All: (run after him)
Deku Tree: (after about three minutes of running, he is wheezing and coughing, and he must stop. He takes puffs of his inhaler, and he begins to run again, but he sees the shadow of the others looming behind him. He turns to them slowly, and then gets punched in the face. The others close in on him, and beat him senseless, laughing all the way. As he is getting beaten, he thinks to himself) I'll show them... someday I'll be the guardian of an entire race... they'll see...
Link: (snapping him out of his reverie) Hello!? Deku guy! You haven't said anything for about three minutes, are you okay?
Deku Tree: What? Oh. Link, I am the Great Deku Tree: the guardian of the Kokiris. (sniff)
Link: ...What?
Deku Tree: It is I who protect this forest from evil.
Link: But where are you? Show yourself! All I see is a big tree.
Navi: (sighing and shaking her head) Link... Deku Tree... the tree IS him.
Link: ...Oh. I guess I never put that together. So that big thing is the Deku Tree?
Deku Tree: Yes, Link, and we must talk. Surely thou hast been having troubling dreams.
Link: (suddenly embarassed) What? What are you talking about?
Deku Tree: I know that thou have unusal dreams that others do not have.
Link: (blushing) How do you know about that?!
Deku Tree: Tell us your dreams, Link. They affect the fate of the world.
Link: (struggles with himself for several seconds about revealing his dreams. He seems uncomfortable.)
Deku Tree: Come now, Link. Tell us. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
Link: ....Well... okay.... sometimes I have dreams where I wear a frilly pink dress with polka dots and a little bonnet and I dance for Mido and the other Kokiri. I like those dreams because I feel pretty.
Navi and Deku Tree: ...
Link: But how does that have anything to do with the fate of the world?
Navi: I can't believe this kid is the Hero of Time. Seriously, we are so doomed.
Deku Tree: No Link, I speak of the dreams with the world being in turmoil. Those terrible dreams showing Hyrule utterly destroyed. The dreams particularly showing one man on a black horse.
Link: (face turns red) Oh, those. Right. I knew that. I was only kidding about those other dreams. ...Really.
Deku Tree: Yea. That man from your dreams has poisoned me, Link. He has set a curse upon me, which somehow fills me with monsters of unthinkable ugliness.
Link: Uglier than you?
Deku Tree: (eyes watering up)... Yea. Uglier than me. Now hurry up and get inside me and kill these things before I... I... (bursts into tears and opens up his mouth to allow Link inside)
Link: Aww, sorry big guy. I'll go inside you and kill the things for you. (walks in)
What unspeakably ugly horrors await Link inside the Deku Tree? Is the world really doomed? And what of the Deku Tree's troubled past? Will he eventually see a psychiatrist and learn that it's okay, and it wasn't his fault, and he should forgive the bully Deku Trees? Find out this (well... not all of this) on the next exciting episode of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Rewrite!
