Kokiri

The Kokiri are a race of children that never grow up. They are present predominantly in Ocarina of Time, where they live in the Kokiri Forest under the watch of the Great Deku Tree, who is said to be their father.

Each Kokiri has his or her own fairy partner. Saria is one of the most notable member of the Kokiri race. Being, not only Link's best friend, but also the Sage of the Forest. The Kokiri are also under the leadership of Mido; a rude and disrespectful young man who adores Saria. In addition to that, they praise the deity in Kokiri Forest, the Great Deku Tree. The Kokiri also believe that they will die if they leave the forest.

Koroks

In The Wind Waker, the Kokiri have changed to the form of Koroks.^{[citation needed]} Only one member of the original Kokiri tribe appears in The Wind Waker, and that is the Sage of Wind, Fado. Fado is merely a spirit, killed by Ganondorf when he broke free of his seal before the flood.
