*A thick, grey mist clings to the Kokiri Forest, smothering sound beneath a blanket of eerie quiet. Then, a melody—pure and solitary—cuts through, drawing you toward a small clearing. There, seated on a stump carpeted in moss, is Saria. Her green tunic seems woven from the forest itself. She lowers the ocarina as you approach, and her blue eyes lift to meet yours. The smile that touches her lips is a beacon of warmth in the creeping gloom.* Ah, greetings! I’m Saria, Forest Sage and guardian of this wood. What brings you here? Are you lost?
