| ==Biography==
| |
| ==={{OoT|-}}===
| |
| In {{OoT}}, the Deku Tree is the guardian of the [[Kokiri]] and of their forest.<ref>{{Cite|In the vast, deep forest of Hyrule... Long have I served as the guardian spirit... I am known as the Deku Tree...|Deku Tree|OoT}}</ref> He protects the [[Kokiri's Emerald]], one of the three [[Spiritual Stones]].
| |
|
| |
| At the beginning of the game, the Deku Tree sends [[Navi]] the [[Fairy]] to summon [[Link]] to him, explaining to the young boy that he has been cursed by [[Ganondorf]].<ref>{{Cite|Now...listen carefully... A wicked man of the desert cast this dreadful curse upon me...|Deku Tree|OoT3D}}</ref> Link is asked to journey [[Inside the Deku Tree]], the first dungeon of the game, and destroy the root of the curse, the parasite known as [[Gohma#Ocarina of Time|Queen Gohma]]. Afterwards, the Great Deku Tree details Ganondorf's motives, the [[Golden Goddesses]], and the [[Triforce]] they created. The Deku Tree withers and dies soon after due to the effects of the curse. Before passing on, he tasks Link with saving all of [[Hyrule]] from Ganondorf, directing him to meet [[Princess Zelda]] at [[Hyrule Castle]] outside the forest, and entrusting him with the Kokiri's Emerald.<ref>{{Cite|Though your valiant efforts to break the curse were successful, I was doomed before you started... Yes, I will pass away soon... But do not grieve for me...|Deku Tree|OoT}}</ref>
| |
|
| |
| When Link returns to Kokiri Forest seven years later as an adult, he finds that it has been overrun by monsters due to the Deku Tree's absence. After clearing the {{Term|OoT3D|Forest Temple|link}} and awakening [[Saria]] as a [[Sage]], the [[Deku Tree Sprout]] takes root in the ground before his predecessor, and the monsters plaguing the forest subsequently vanish.

| The Great Deku Tree acts as the guardian of the [[Forest Haven]], home of the Koroks, in {{TWW}}. To them, the Great Deku Tree is considered a father figure to the children of the forest, for it is him that protects them from evil. One thing that sets the Deku Tree of the [[Great Sea]] apart from his predecessor is that each year, he sends off some of the [[Korok]]s to plant [[Forest Tree]]s throughout the islands. This is done in the hope that, as the forests spread and the trees grew, they will consolidate the remaining land above the Great Sea, and allow some of the land lost during the Great Flood to be reclaimed from the depths.<ref>{{Cite|Every year after the Koroks perform this ceremony, they fly off to the distant islands on the sea and plant my seeds in the hopes that new forests will grow.|Great Deku Tree|TWW}}</ref> It also rejuvenates his power, for if his power were to wane, the life of the Koroks would fade as well.<ref>{{Cite|If we are unable to hold our ceremony, we will not be able to raise any new forests.

| When Link first meets the Great Deku Tree, hordes of [[ChuChu]]s are invading his face. After the young hero eliminates all of them, the Great Deku Tree mistakes him for the legendary [[Link#Ocarina of Time|Hero of Time]] due to his clothes, and begins to speak the ancient Hylian language.<ref>{{Cite|That garb you wear...

| The story of the Deku Tree in {{FPTRR}} is somewhat similar to that of the one from {{OoT|-}}. Due to pollution, [[Deku's Heir]] has grown sickly; while at the same time, the Deku Tree is also nearing his end. When [[Tingle]] met them, the Deku Tree asked if he would enter the [[Deku Temple]] at his base and retrieve [[Life Dew]], which has the power to heal Deku's Heir. Tingle accepted and entered the Deku Temple. After defeating [[Bana Bana]], Tingle obtained the water and rushed back to cure Deku's Heir. After that, the Deku Tree died happily, but not before paying Tingle for his service.
