Great Deku Tree: Difference between revisions

The '''Great Deku Tree''' is a legendary character in the Zelda series. He is often part of the main motivation for [[Link]] to begin his travels and strive to help Hyrule.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Great Deku Tree is charged with watching over Link and the other [[Kokiri]] children.

After being cursed by [[Ganondorf]], the Great Deku Tree sends [[Navi]] to summon Link. When the two return, he informs Link of the curse and requests that he go [[Inside the Deku Tree|enter his mouth]] in order to eliminate the curse. Link successfully defeats the evil dwelling inside of the tree.

The tree then tells the tale of how [[Hyrule]] came to be. He tells the story of the [[Golden Goddesses]]. Then he gives Link the [[Kokiri's Emerald]]. However, it is too late. The curse has taken its toll, killing the Great Deku Tree. His last words are "Go to [[Hyrule Castle]] to meet the [[Princess Zelda|Princess of Destiny]]" which leads to the events of the game.

The Great Deku Tree is first seen covered in red and green [[Chuchu]]s. After removing them, Link meets the [[Korok]]s. The Great Deku Tree sends Link to find Makar, the smallest Korok, who has been blown into the woods. He also gives Link the [[Deku Leaf]]. Link must use [[Boko Baba|Baba Buds]] to get to the top of the Deku Tree and obtain the leaf.

After Link completes the third dungeon of the game, the Great Deku Tree will answer his questions about Koroks. He also says that the water in [[Forest Haven]] is special and marks the places of wilted forest trees on the sea chart.
