The Great Deku Tree:

"In the vast, deep forest of Hyrule... Long have I served as the guardian spirit...I am known as the Deku Tree... "The children of the forest, the Kokiri, live here with me. Each Kokiri has his or her own guardian fairy."

The Great Deku Tree:

"For so long, the Kokiri Forest, the source of life, has stood as a barrier, deterring outsiders and maintaining the order of the world... "But...before this tremendous evil power, even my power is as nothing..."

Saria:

"Yahoo! Hi, Link!"

Saria:

"Wow! A fairy!! Finally, a fairy came to you, Link! "Wow! [giggle] That's great news! I'm so happy for you!" "Now you're a true Kokiri, Link! "Is that right? The Great Deku Tree has summoned you? "It's quite an honour to talk to the Great Deku Tree! "I'll wait for you here. Get going! Go see the Great Deku Tree!"

Kokiri:

"Mean old Mido... he made me pick up the rocks in front of his house."

Kokiri:

"Oh, you have a fairy now!? That's great, Link! "What? You've been called by the Great Deku Tree? What an honour! He may give you a special gift! Tee hee! "That's because the Great Deku Tree is our father, the forest guardian, and he gave life to all of us Kokiri! "I wonder if the Great Deku Tree gave life to everything in the forest, I mean in addition to us Kokiri?"

Kokiri:

"The Great Deku Tree said that if a Kokiri leaves the woods, he or she will die!"

Kokiri:

"That meanie, Mido, made me cut the grass at Saria's house. "Mido told Saria that he would do it so that she would like him, but I'm the one doing all of the work! "You and Saria are close friends, so will you help me cut the grass?"

Kokiri:

"We Kokiri will die if we leave the forest! "You're not going to try to leave the forest, are you?"

Mido:

"Shoot! How did you get to be the favorite of Saria and the Great Deku Tree? Huh?! "Grumble...grumble..."

Saria:

"Oh, you're leaving... "I knew... that you would leave the forest... someday, Link. "Because you are different from me and my friends... "But that's OK... because we'll be friends forever... won't we? "I want you to have this Ocarina... "Please take good care of it. "When you play my Ocarina, I hope you will think of me and come back to the forest to visit."

Saria:

"I've been waiting for you, Link! "This is the Sacred Forest Meadow. It's my secret place! I feel... "This place will be very important for both of us someday. That's what I feel. "If you play the Ocarina here, you can talk with the spirits in the forest."

Saria:

"Please don't forget this song! Do you promise? "When you want to hear my voice, play Saria's Song. You can talk with me anytime..."

Saria:

"The forest is connected to many places! If you can hear my song, you must be somewhere that is connected to the forest!"

Saria:

"I was so happy to hear that Mr. Darunia loved my song so much! "I was even happier to find out that it helped you on your quest, Link! Tee hee hee!"

Saria:

"Are you collecting Spiritual Stones? You have one more to find? You mean the Spiritual Stone of Water, don't you? "The Great Deku Tree once told me that King Zora, ruler of Zora's domain, has it..."

Saria:

"Link...I don't know what it is...I have this feeling of dread... "The Castle...Yes, something bad is happening at the Castle!"

Saria:

"What? Your ocarina sounds...different somehow...Have you been practicing a lot, Link?"

Sheik:

"One Sage is waiting for the time of awakening in the Forest Temple. The Sage is a girl I am sure you know... "Because of the evil power in the temple, she cannot hear the awakening call from the Sacred Realm..."

Saria:

"Link...? This is Saria. Can you hear me? "Great! You're safe! I knew I would hear from you again! "I'm in the Forest Temple! The forest spirits were calling for help, so I went to check it out... "But it's full of evil monsters! Help me, Link!"

Navi:

"I wonder what's going on in the forest right now...I'm worried about Saria, too!"

Kokiri:

"Since the Great Deku Tree withered, more meanies have been appearingin the forest...I'm scared!"

Kokiri:

"An evil wind is blowing from the direction of the Forest Temple. "Saria left, saying, "I have to do something about it!"

Kokiri:

"Where's Saria? Do you know Saria, mister? That's weird..."

Kokiri:

"Since it's dangerous outside, I always stay inside my house. But I'm bored to death in here!"

Kokiri:

"Saria went to the temple and hasn't come back..."

Kokiri:

"Have you ever met a boy named Link? "Mido said that the Great Deku Tree withered because that boy did something wrong to it... "Only Saria defended Link--until she left. "Maybe we misunderstood..."

Mido:

"What are you? Though you wear Kokirish clothing, you can't fool me! "I promised Saria I would never let anyone go through here. "That melody?! "Saria plays that song all the time! You...Do you know Saria? "That song... "Saria taught that song only to her friends... "OK... I trust you. "When I see you....I don't know why, but I remember...him..."

Sheik:

"The flow of time is always cruel...Its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... "A thing that doesn't change with time is a memory of younger days..."

Saria:

"Thank you...Because of you, I could awaken as a Sage... "I am Saria. The Sage of the Forest Temple... "I always believed that you would come. Because I know you... "No...You don't have to explain it to me... "Because it is destiny that you and I can't live in the same world. "I will stay here as the Forest Sage and help you... "Now, please take this Medallion..." Saria will always be... your friend...

Kokiri:

"I wonder if Saria will come back..."

Saria:

"Link...At first, I didn't want to become the Sage of the Forest.... "But I'm glad now. "Because I am helping you to save Hyrule, Link! Yes, I am!"

Saria:

"If all six Sages come together, we can imprison Ganondorf, the King of Evil, in the Sacred Realm. "But, in order to make a perfect seal, we need the seventh Sage. "Someone you know must be that Sage, Link... "From now on, you must travel between past and future to awaken the remaining Sages! "Keep up the good work, Link!"

Saria:

"The Forest Barrier is dispelled. Hurry up, Link!"
