The Kokiri Forest is a location that appears in Ocarina of Time. It derives its name from its inhabitants, the Kokiri, a race of enduringly youthful children that are rumored by outsiders to be fairies. The forest is a peaceful place seldomly seen nor heard from by those outside its confines.[1] This is all thanks to its resident guardian deity, the Great Deku Tree, who keeps dutiful watch over Kokiri Forest and its denizens.

In Ocarina of Time, Kokiri Forest is the location in which Link initially lives. It houses the very first dungeon he will traverse, Inside the Deku Tree, and acts as a connection between the Lost Woods and Hyrule Field.

Ocarina of Time

The Kokiri, inhabitants of the Kokiri Forest

The Kokiri Forest is home to the Kokiri and their Fairy companions. The location can be accessed via either Hyrule Field, in which its entrance is to the east, or the Lost Woods. The forest consists of a village in which there are five houses and a store. There are also many other constructions, like the Forest Training Center, that resemble various playthings one might see on a playground. The north exit leads to the Lost Woods and the west to Hyrule Field. To the east lies the Great Deku Tree's Meadow, in which the Great Deku Tree resides.

The Kokiri Forest is a harmonious place during Link's initial tenure, though he can encounter Withered Deku Babas. On his subsequent visit as an adult, it is teeming with additional monster types and the Withered Deku Babas are replaced by their tougher varieties. The forest is relinquished of all enemies after Link defeats Phantom Ganon in the Forest Temple.
