I made some general wording edits and fixed some previous information. I added more about how he's a caretaker and leader of the forests in both OoT and TWW and also how he explained the Triforce, Gods, and creation of the Earth. (elaborated on this)

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Great Deku Tree is charged with watching over Link and the other [[Kokiri]] children in the [[Kokiri Forest]].{{Ref|OoT|911|Great Deku Tree}}{{Ref|OoT|912|Great Deku Tree}}{{Ref|OoT|754|Kokiri}}

He is considered responsible and wise. This is evidenced by the fact that Link's mother trusted the Great Deku Tree to watch over Link during the wars that dominated when she was alive. At the beginning of Ocarina of Time, he orders Navi to bring Link over to him. He assigns a [[fairy]] for each Kokiri in the forest, Navi being Link's companion throughout the adventure. He protects each of the Kokiri and saves them from the outside world (Hyrule) and its horrors. Unfortunately, his death later allows monsters to sweep in and infest the once peaceful forest.


After being cursed by [[Ganon|Ganondorf]], the Great Deku Tree sends [[Navi]] to summon Link.{{Ref|OoT|907|Great Deku Tree}} When the two return, he informs Link of the curse and requests that he go [[Inside the Deku Tree|enter his mouth]] in order to eliminate the curse.{{Ref|OoT|771|Great Deku Tree}} Link successfully defeats the evil dwelling inside of the tree.

The tree then tells the tale of how [[Hyrule]] came to be. He tells the story of the [[Golden Goddesses]]. He then gives Link the [[Kokiri's Emerald]].{{Ref|OoT|900|Great Deku Tree}} However, it is too late. The curse has taken its toll, killing the Great Deku Tree. His last words are "Go to [[Hyrule Castle]] to meet the [[Princess Zelda|Princess of Destiny]]" which leads to the events of the game.{{Ref|OoT|791|Great Deku Tree}}{{Ref|OoT|792|Great Deku Tree}}{{Ref|OoT|793|Great Deku Tree}}{{Ref|OoT|794|Great Deku Tree}}

After Link wakes up from his seven year slumber, he discovers the Kokiri Forest is now infested with monsters. The Kokiri say this started happening after the death of the Great Deku Tree. When Link completes the Forest Temple, Link is transported back to the Kokiri Forest where he watches the [[Deku Tree Sprout]] grow in front of the dead Great Deku Tree. It is speculated that the Deku Tree Sprout is in fact the Great Deku Tree in ''The Wind Waker''.

After Link completes the third dungeon of the game, the Great Deku Tree will answer his questions about Koroks. He also says that the water in [[Forest Haven]] is special and marks the places of withered forest trees on the [[Sea Chart]].

He is also seen as a caretaker here. He is furious and deeply concerned about Makar's disappearance into the [[Forbidden Woods]]. This shows that the tree cares about Korok underlings and seeks to protect them at all times.
