Deku Link

Deku Link is one of the forms Link assumes in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. After stumbling through the forest in a chase after Skull Kid, Link fell through a large hole leading to Termina. At the end of the hole, Link found Skull Kid wearing Majora's Mask, and was then cursed and turned into a Deku Scrub. Deku Link is believed to be the incarnation of the Deku Butler's son who was turned into a tree, possibly by the Skull Kid. Madame Aroma comments that there is an elementary school where the Deku Butler's son may have attended. Most of the people in game think Deku Link to be a young boy, and an adorable one at that. This opinion is not shared by the many dogs of the game, who will attack on sight. When wearing the Mask of Truth, the Dog in Clock Town tells you that he is looking for a Deku Scrub, this may be a reference to the Butler's son:

"Ruff-ruff! Where'd that Deku Scrub go? When I see his face, I get all riled up!"

Using the Deku Mask, Link is able to transform into Deku Link at any time. If Deku Link catches on fire he will, quite predictably, die instantly. He can't swim, instead only being able to hop on the water's surface five time before drowning. He also can't climb up ledges and has very few attacks. However, Deku Link also possesses one of the coolest abilities in the game: he can fly. By using a Deku Flower, he can launch himself into the air and drop Deku Nuts on enemies like bombs. He can rise higher and faster when he flies into an air stream. He also has the Bubble Blast attack, and can do a spin attack by twirling on one foot. When using the Ocarina as Deku Link, it appears as the Pipes of Awakening, a number of wooden trumpet horns (which are held behind him) all attached to a mouth piece.
