'''Saria''' is a [[Kokiri]] introduced in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. She is [[Link]]'s childhood friend from his years in the [[Kokiri Forest]]. Among the other Kokiri, she's well-liked. In particular by their boss, [[Mido]],<ref>''That meanie, [[Mido]], made me cut the grass at Saria's house. Mido told Saria he would do it so she would like him, but I'm the one doing all the work! You and Saria are close friends, so will you help me cut the grass? I'll let you keep anything that you find while cutting it.'' - A [[Kokiri]] (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref> whose dislike of Link might be partially explained by the latter's close friendship with Saria. Saria often goes to the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]] to be alone for a while.<ref name=Quote2>''I've been waiting for you, [[Link]]! This is the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]]. It's my secret place! I feel...

==Biography==
==={{OoT|-}}===
Saria is the first of the Kokiri to greet Link after he receives [[Navi]], his own [[Fairy]].

Once Link has met with [[Princess Zelda]], he can find Saria in the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]], where she will teach the young hero the song she has composed.<ref name="Meadow"/> This song allows Link to speak with her at any time and is also used to brighten [[Darunia]]'s mood, thus allowing him to grant Link access to [[Dodongo's Cavern]].<ref>{{Cite|Please don't forget this song!

Saria was the first of the Kokiri to greet Link at the start of the story and happily noticed that Link now had a [[Fairy]] of his own. Link told her that he was summoned by the [[Great Deku Tree]] and thus had to go.<ref>''Yahoo! Hi, [[Link]]! Wow! A [[fairy]]!! Finally, a fairy came to you, Link! Wow! 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 honor to talk to the Great Deku Tree! I'll wait for you here. Get going! Go see the Great Deku Tree!'' - Saria (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref> Saria was okay with that, but had a feeling that things were about to change. After Link defeated [[Gohma]], she met him at the bridge between [[Kokiri Forest]] and the rest of [[Hyrule]]. There, the two said goodbye and Saria gave Link her [[Fairy Ocarina]] as a memento.<ref>''Oh, you're leaving... I knew... that you would leave the [[Kokiri Forest|forest]]... someday, [[Link]]... Because you are different from [[Kokiri|me and my friends]].... But that's OK, because we'll be friends forever... won't we? I want you to have this [[Fairy Ocarina|Ocarina]]...

During Link's seven-year absence, Mido kept spreading the rumor that Link was responsible for the death of the Great Deku Tree.

After Link had met up with [[Princess Zelda]] and started his quest for the three [[Spiritual Stones]], he returned to Kokiri Forest. There, the other Kokiri told him that Saria was waiting for him at the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]], deep within the [[Lost Woods]]<ref>''Saria said she's waiting at the [[Sacred Forest Meadow|usual spot]].'' - A [[Kokiri]] (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref><ref>''If you're looking for Saria, she's in the [[Lost Woods]], as usual.

Harumph!'' - [[Mido]] (''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref> By listening carefully to the direction a strange, cheery melody came from, Link was able to find his way through the woods to Saria,<ref>''Hey, over here! Hoo hoo! [[Link]]...Good to see you again! Listen to this! Hoot hoot.... After going through the [[Lost Woods]], you will come upon the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]].

Saria informed him that by playing her song, he could telepathically contact her.<ref>''Great! Great! 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 Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'').</ref> Through the ocarina, Saria kept giving Link advice on his next objective throughout both his childhood and adult years.

This article is about the character from Ocarina of Time. For the town in The Adventure of Link, see Saria Town.

Saria is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.(OoT)[4][name references needed] She is Link's childhood friend from his years in the Kokiri Forest. She is well-liked amongst other Kokiri, particularly by their boss, Mido, whose dislike of Link might be partially explained by the latter's close friendship with Saria.[5] She often travels to the Sacred Forest Meadow to play her Ocarina.[6] She plays a song that inspires people to dance called "Saria's Song." When Link becomes the Hero of Time, he rescues Saria from the Forest Temple and allows her to awaken as the Sage of Forest.

Biography

Ocarina of Time

Saria is the first of the Kokiri to greet Link after he receives Navi, his own Fairy. She congratulates him for finally finding a Fairy and is surprised to hear that the Great Deku Tree has summoned Link, as it is a great honor to speak with him.[7] After receiving his quest from the Great Deku Tree, Saria meets Link at the exit of the forest to say goodbye. She gives him the Fairy Ocarina and asks him to come back and visit her.[8][9]

Once Link has met with Princess Zelda, he can find Saria in the Sacred Forest Meadow, where she will teach the young hero the song she has composed.[6] This song allows Link to speak with her at any time and is also used to brighten Darunia's mood, thus allowing him to grant Link access to Dodongo's Cavern.[10]

During Link's seven-year absence, Mido kept spreading the rumor that Link was responsible for the death of the Great Deku Tree. Of all the Kokiri, Saria was the only one who stood up for Link.[11] When Link awakens, the Forest Temple in the Lost Woods becomes his first destination after an emergency call from Saria.[12] On the way, he comes through Kokiri Forest where the Kokiri inform him that both Saria and Mido left for the Lost Woods.[13][14] Following them, Link first encounters Mido, who refuses to let him pass.[15] However, after playing "Saria's Song," Mido understands that Link has to be one of Saria's friends and as such can be trusted and let through.[16] Link continues to the Sacred Forest Meadow and discovers that Saria's "secret place" houses the entrance to the Forest Temple. Link then goes in and manages to defeat the temple's evil spirit, Phantom Ganon. By doing this, he allows Saria to awaken as the new Sage of Forest.[17] Saria then says goodbye, knowing that the carefree days of old are over,[18] and gives Link the Forest Medallion.[19]

Later, when Link talks to Mido again, the latter asks him if he would help him keep a promise to Saria: to tell Link that Saria had been waiting for him.[20] When Link defeats Ganon, Saria and the other Sages bundle their powers to seal him away. During the ending, she can be seen overlooking a celebrating Hyrule on Death Mountain with the other Sages, seated atop Darunia's head.
