Yay I got my first review! Yes, I just relized the Deku Shield was 40 rupees but I haven't started a new game in OOT since...2 months ago. That reminds me! I need to beat the well- once I get my Collector's Edition disc back, which'll be...Once my friend beats Majora's Mask. NOW, I have no earthly idea how Link will get the slingshot. In the Manga, Link makes it himself. Though i'll think of something! Beware my bad chapter naming skillz!
I don't own Zelda. If I did,an OOT novel would be sitting in the Manga section of a bookstore.
And Incase you're wondering, I used a Text Dump to help with the following conversation between Link and the Great Deku Tree.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Chapter III
The Kokiri Emerald
"What kind of favor?" Link asked.
"Link, listen carefully to what I am about to tell thee. As the servants of evil gain strength, a vile climate pervades the land. Whichcauses nightmares to those sensitive to it..."
"Like the one I've been having?" Link asked.
"Yes, I could say. Verily, thou hast felt it. Link, I have been cursed," The Great Deku Tree said.
"Cursed?" Link and Navi said at the same time, shocked.
"I'm afraid so. I need you to break the curse with yourcourage."
"I'll...I'll do anything, but, why me?" Link said.
"There is no time for that, thou must act quickly," The Great Deku Tree said. "Enter Link, and Navi, please guide Link."
"Yes GreatDeku Tree," Navi said and flew into Link's pocket.
The Great Deku Tree's mouth slowly opened. Link stepped inside.
"It's so dark in here," Navi said. Link expected the the Great Deku Tree's inside to be more..welcoming. Webs were everywhere, "A spider?" Link said.
"But, an average spider wouldn't curse the Great Deku Tree...They're smaller than I am-LINK! LOOK OUT!" Navi yelled.
Link quickly drew his sword and stabbed a rather large spider with it. It looked ugly, with one large eye. It didn't look like an adult spider either.
"You mean...That's just a baby?" Navi said. Link feared what came next.
They continued through the large Great Deku Tree's Inside. It became harder and harder to see, and he came across more and more webs which he had to cut with the Kokiri Sword. They then reached a dead end.
"Turn back?" Link said, but was soon staring face-to-face or in this case, eye-to-eye with a huge, brown spider with one, large, glowing yellow-red eye.
"Wha...What's that?" Navi asked, frightened.
"It's queen?" Link said, but was then cut off by the spider's stomps towards him and Navi.
"How do we kill it?" Navi said.
"I HAVE NO EARTHLY IDEA!" Link said, he was dodging it's attacks every few seconds. He tried to hit it with his sword, it was completely covered in hard skin, like armor. One of it's sharp legs cut his arm, "Damn it!"
"It's completly covered with armor everywhere...except-"
"It's eye!" Link finished Navi's sentence.
"Yes but how..?"
"I hope this works," Link pulled out a small slingshot, which Saria had made for him. He grabbed a deku nut and shot it at the arachnid's eye.
It let out a painful screamof pain, and fell over. This was his chance. Heran over and stabbed the creature in the eye, then again, and again. It screamed again. And again, and again. Then it stopped. It was dead.
"I did it! WE did it!" Link said triumphantly. They ran through the Great Deku Tree untill they reached it's mouth. They saw the sunlight.
"We did it Great Deku Tree! We broke the curse, we-what's wrong?" Link said. The Great Deku Tree looked worse than ever.
"Now, Link...Thou must know my time is short..."
"WHAT? I thought I-" Link said.
"That creature was not the only part of the curse...A wicked man of the desert
cast this curse upon me," The Great Deku Tree said.
"A wicked man?" Link said.
"Yes. He wants his hands on the Triforce, the legendary relic of Hyrule. You've heard the legend of how the three godesses created Hyrule, have you not?" The Great Deku Tree said.
"Yes, I believe so, the one where they merged and created the Triforce?" Link said.
"Yes. Thou must never allow the desert man to lay his hands on the sacred Triforce.Thou musn't let this man get into the Sacred Realm...Though your efforts to lift the curse were a sucess, I was doomed before you started. I shall pass away soon, but do notgreive me. Please take this jewel, The Kokiri Emerald, to the Princess of Hyrule," The Great Deku Tree's voice weakened, "It is the same stone the evil man wants."
A green emerald with gold lining fell into Link's hands. It's glow was sure to light a room. Link put it in his pocket.
"Navi the fairy, guide Link on hisquest."
"Yes Great Deku Tree," Navi said.
"Link, Hyrule's future depends upon thee...thou art corageous...I entreat ye... Navi...Good bye." The Great Deku Tree closed his eyes and slowly turned a black color. Link closed his eyes with ashament. The Great Deku Tree had died, the Kokiri Forest had no guardian. What would they do. Who was this Princess? He was going to leave the forest, but, the Great Deku Tree had always told him that if a Kokiri left the forest, they would die. Mabye Link was different in some way. But how? He didn't know. He slowly walked out of the Great Deku Tree's meadow sorrowfully.
"WHA...WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED? THE GREAT DEKU TREE'S...DEAD?" Mido yelled at the top of his lungs. "AND HE WANTS YOU TO LEAVE THE FOREST? THAT'S INSANE! You'll die!"
"Yeah but...He wanted me to go," Link said.
"I can't believe you. Killing the Great Deku Tree and then leaving us.."
"What? I didn't-"
"Just go! You'll see!" Mido said. He then walked towards his house. Link turned around and left the forest.
"So, it is true, you are leaving."
Link turned around, "Saria?"
"Mido told me everything. I knew you'd leave someday," Saria said.
"Saria I-" Link begain.
"I understand, you and I are different. You were destined to leave, as I was to stay here," Saria told him. "I'll never forgive you."
"I'll come back, I promise!" Link said.
"I know but, take this. Whenever you play this, think of me, okay?" Saria said and handed him a small clay ocarina.
"Saria...goodbye, I'll come back, I promise," Link said,
"Be careful."
Link turned around and walked. He looked at Saria once more, the walked to whatever was beyond the forest.
