Inside the Deku Tree

The Great Deku Tree is the giant guardian of the Kokiri Forest. When it contracts a mysterious disease, Link must venture inside to destroy the tree's scourge and to break Ganondorf's curse, making it the game's first dungeon. It is infested with parasitic creatures, the main one being Queen Gohma. This dungeon contains the Fairy Slingshot. To enter the dungeon, Link must show Mido, who is blocking the way, the Deku Shield and Kokiri Sword.

The Great Deku Tree contains five floors, and most of the puzzles require Link to kill any enemy or destroy thick webs through the use of fire. Some smaller rooms can only be accessed later in the game. The final puzzle appears in the form of three Deku Scrubs which must be defeated in the correct order to face the final boss, Gohma. There is no mini-boss in this dungeon, although there are two individual deku scrubs in the dungeon, and one group at the very end and must be defeated in the following order: second in line, third in line, first in line.
