The Forest Medallion is a key item in Ocarina of Time, the Medallion of the Sage of Forest.
Ocarina of Time
"You received the Forest Medallion! Saria awakens as a Sage and adds her power to yours!"
After Link defeats Phantom Ganon to clear the Forest Temple, Saria awakens as a Sage. Both of them are transported to the Chamber of the Sages, where Saria tells Link that she always believed he would rescue her.[1] Afterwards, she rewards Link with the Forest Medallion.[2]
Until Link obtains the Forest Medallion, Sheik will stand in front of the Pedestal of Time, blocking him from replacing the Master Sword into the pedestal. After obtaining it, on Link's next visit to the Temple of Time, they instead tell Link there are more Sages to awaken, and that returning the Master Sword to the Pedestal of Time will allow him to return to his original time[3]. They then teach him the Prelude of Light to allow him to warp quickly to the Temple, and vanish[4].
Once Link has the Forest, Fire and Water Medallions; the next time Link visits Kakariko Village, Link will find the village on fire. On encountering Sheik, he finds the cause is Bongo Bongo escaping his imprisonment in the Bottom of the Well. After failing to stop him fleeing to the Shadow Temple, Sheik charges Link with following Impa to the temple to stop Bongo Bongo, teaching him the Nocturne of Shadow to allow him to warp there.
The Forest Medallion is depicted on the Triforce Pedestal in Sacred Forest Meadow, where Link warps on using the Minuet of Forest.

A partial Ocarina of Time rom, dated to late 1997 and recovered from a development cart largely overwritten with F-Zero X, was published by the now-defunct site Forest of Illusion in 2021. This "overdump" includes Japanese get item text which suggests that the Wind Medallion, which became the Forest Medallion, gave a spell similar to Farore's Wind, which allowed the user to teleport to "Warp away whenever you're in danger."[5]
