'''Inside the Deku Tree''' is the first [[dungeon]] ventured through in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''.
{{ZD|[https://www.zeldadungeon.net/ocarina-of-time-walkthrough/inside-the-great-deku-tree/ ''Ocarina of Time'' Walkthrough<br/>Chapter 1: Inside the Deku Tree]}}


==Place in the Story==
'''Inside the Deku Tree''' is the first [[dungeon]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. It is found in the [[Kokiri Forest]] and contains the [[Fairy Slingshot]].
{{spoiler|section}}
At the very beginning of ''Ocarina of Time'', [[Link]] is summoned by the [[Great Deku Tree]]{{Ref|OoT|350|[[Navi]]}}, who was cursed by [[Ganon|Ganondorf]]{{Ref|OoT|789|[[Great Deku Tree]]}}. The Great Deku Tree wants Link to go inside him to break the curse{{Ref|OoT|771|[[Great Deku Tree]]}}. After Link defeated the dungeon boss [[Queen Gohma]] the Great Deku Tree gives Link the [[Kokiri's Emerald]] - the spiritual stone of the Forest and he wants Link to go to [[Hyrule Castle]]{{Ref|OoT|900|[[Great Deku Tree]]}}. Even as Link was able to break the curse, the Great Deku Tree dies soon after Link left the dungeon.{{Ref|OoT|791|[[Great Deku Tree]]}}


==Dungeon Design==
==Story==
The dungeon is (as it is inside a tree) mainly out of wood. The main room is a large and high "hall" with 4 floors. The lowest floor is blocked by a spider web, that can only be broken when Link jumps from the highest level onto it. In the lowest floor is some water, possibly indicating that it is a part of the Great Deku Tree's rooting.
{{Spoiler|section}}
At the very beginning of ''Ocarina of Time'', [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] is summoned by the [[Great Deku Tree]],{{Ref|OoT|350|[[Navi]]}} where he explains that he has been cursed by [[Ganon]]dorf{{Ref|OoT|789|[[Great Deku Tree]]}} and wants Link to go inside him to destroy the monsters, thus breaking the curse.{{Ref|OoT|771|[[Great Deku Tree]]}} After Link defeats [[Queen Gohma]] and breaks the curse, the Great Deku Tree gives him the [[Spiritual Stones|Spiritual Stone]] of the Forest, the [[Kokiri's Emerald]]. He instructs Link to bring the stone to [[Hyrule Castle]].{{Ref|OoT|900|[[Great Deku Tree]]}} Even though Link's efforts have successfully broken the curse, the Great Deku Tree is so weakened he dies soon after Link departs the dungeon.{{Ref|OoT|791|[[Great Deku Tree]]}} After Link becomes an adult and completes the [[Forest Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Forest Temple]], a [[Deku Tree Sprout]] begins its life next to the dead Great Deku Tree.


There is a secret room in the lower floor not visible on the dungeon map. It can only be accessed using [[Bomb|bombs]].  
==Gaining Entrance==
Before Link can even approach the Great Deku Tree, he must first get past the bossy [[Kokiri]], [[Mido]]. Mido will not allow Link to pass unless the hero-to-be has obtained a sword and shield.


The boss [[Queen Gohma]] is located in the lowest level in a large room, which is protected by 3 [[Deku Scrub|Deku Scrubs]] that need to be hit in the proper order.{{Ref|OoT|908|[[Deku Scrub]]}} Once Link reaches the boss room, he is locked inside.
To obtain a sword, Link must go through the crawlspace in the back of the [[Forest Training Center]]. Here, he has to learn to keep an eye on corners as he avoids a large boulder rolling about. When he gets past the boulder Link will find the [[Kokiri Sword]]. To get a shield, Link simply needs to acquire 40 [[Rupee]]s around the forest and purchase a [[Deku Shield]] from the [[Kokiri Shop]].
 
With both of these items acquired and equipped, Mido will reluctantly allow Link to pass. He can then go to meet the Great Deku Tree, who explains his plight and grants Link entry to the dungeon.
 
==Dungeon Overview==
[[File:Inside-the-Deku-Tree.png|thumb|left|250px|First floor of the Deku Tree]]As it is inside a tree, the dungeon is mainly made of wood. The main room is a towering "hall" with 4 floors, each with more rooms stretching outward like the tree's actual branches would. The upper floors of this hall are covered in vines and spider webs that are populated by [[Skullwalltula]]s and [[Skulltula]]s. Each floor has jutting platforms from which Link can jump. The basement floor is blocked by a spider web in the center of the room, which can only be broken when Link jumps from the highest level onto it. In the lowest floor is full of water that possibly indicates it is a part of the Great Deku Tree's rooting.
 
There is a secret room in the lower floor not visible on the dungeon map. It can only be accessed using [[bomb]]s, so to reach it Link must return to the dungeon after clearing the [[Dodongo's Cavern]]. Inside the room is [[Gold Skulltula]] number 36, but Link will also need the [[Boomerang]] from [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly]].
 
Being the first dungeon in the game, this serves as a tutorial level of sorts. All of the puzzles are very simple and few involve more than lighting a [[Deku Stick]] on fire and burning something. Additionally, it hardly has any mini-boss to speak of besides the [[Deku Scrub]] who tells Link how to enter the boss room.
 
The dungeon item in the Deku Tree is the [[Fairy Slingshot]], which fires [[Deku Seed]]s and comes with a small bullet bag that holds up to thirty seeds. The slingshot allows Link to kill Skullwalltulas so he can climb past them without being knocked off. He can also use it to kill Skulltulas and [[Gohma Egg]]s that are hanging from the ceiling.
 
===Queen Gohma===
{{Main|Queen Gohma}}
The boss of the dungeon, [[Queen Gohma]], is located in the lowest level in a large room protected by 3 [[Deku Scrub]]s. These Scrubs need to be hit in the proper order, betrayed to Link by their Deku Scrub brother upstairs.{{Ref|OoT|908|[[Deku Scrub]]}} The battle with Queen Gohma is pretty simple; she will climb the pillars of the room to hang from the ceiling and lay Gohma Eggs. While she is doing so, Link can shoot her eye with the Fairy Slingshot to stun her. She can also be stunned with Deku Seeds. Attacking the eye while she is stunned will damage her; she can fall in as few as five seconds to a player who knows what they are doing.
 
Defeating Gohma earns Link his first additional [[Heart Container]] as well as the Spiritual Stone of Forest, the Kokiri's Emerald.
 
==Gold Skulltulas==

File:OoT-Gold-Skulltula-001.jpg|<nowiki>#1</nowiki>: In the room with the [[Compass]] chest, raise the platforms and use them to get onto the platform on the left side. The Skulltula is right behind the treasure chest.
File:OoT-Gold-Skulltula-002.jpg|<nowiki>#2</nowiki>: After breaking through the spider web and reaching the lower floor of the Great Deku Tree, turn back and look at the vines leading up. Shoot down the Skulltula with the Slingshot.
File:OoT-Gold-Skulltula-003.jpg|<nowiki>#3</nowiki>: In the same room as #2, look at the grating at the north end of the room to find another Skulltula.
File:OoT-Gold-Skulltula-036.jpg|<nowiki>#36</nowiki>: After collecting a [[bomb bag]] & the [[boomerang]], return to the Deku Tree. There was a room in the first basement at the northwest corner of the map that cannot be entered in the original visit. Burn the spider web and then blast the boulder away with a bomb. Inside, there is a Gold Skulltula on the wall. Use the Boomerang to snag the token.
