{{Term/Store|Deku Forest||Series, TFH}} is the first Level in {{TFH}},{{Name Ref|TFH}} and the first Level of the [[Drablands#Woodlands|Woodlands]] area. It is followed by [[Buzz Blob Cave]].

'''{{Term|TFH|Stage|link}} 1''' starts the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} off in a clearing within the {{Term|TFH|Deku Forest (Level)|display=Forest}}, on a dirt ledge. Ahead of them are three {{Plural|TFH|Bow}}, surrounded by bushes. There are also {{Plural|TFH|Jar|link}} and {{Plural|TFH|Grass|link}} that can be cut. To the east is a ledge with several {{Plural|TFH|Rock|link}}, three {{Plural|TFH|Green Rupee|link}}, and one {{Term|TFH|Blue Rupee|link}}, which can only be reached by tossing a {{Term|TFH|Links}} up by forming a {{Term|TFH|Totem}}. A small stream separates the next portion of the {{Term|TFH|Stage}}, and a small bridge crosses over to it. On each side of the bridge are elevated statues with a {{Term|TFH|Blue Rupee}} on them each, and in the river's west end are three {{Plural|TFH|Green Rupee}}. The next portion of the {{Term|TFH|Stage}} holds the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway|link}}, but it is blocked by a wooden {{Term|TFH|Gate|link}}. In order to open this {{Term|TFH|Gate}}, the three {{Plural|TFH|Links}} must simultaneously stand on {{Plural|TFH|Floor Switch|link}} elevated at three different levels by forming a {{Term|TFH|Totem}}. The right log requires the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} to form a {{Term|TFH|Totem}} of three and throw the top {{Term|TFH|Link}} onto it, whereas the left log only requires a {{Term|TFH|Totem}} of two to reach. Around the {{Term|TFH|Gate|link}} are {{Plural|TFH|Rock|link}} and {{Plural|TFH|Jar|link}}, and behind it are some bushes.

'''{{Term|TFH|Stage}} 2''' places the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} in an area with several ledges and eight {{Plural|TFH|Blob|link}} scattered across them. Each {{Term|TFH|Blob}} must be defeated before the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway}} appears. The ledge on the east side holds three {{Plural|TFH|Green Rupee}} and can be climbed using a ramp, but the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} need to be thrown onto the other ledges. The top ledge holds two {{Plural|TFH|Heart|link}} and two {{Plural|TFH|Treasure Chest|link}}, one containing three more {{Plural|TFH|Heart}}, and one containing a {{Term|TFH|Blue Rupee}}. {{Plural|TFH|Jar}}, {{Plural|TFH|Rock}}, and bushes litter the area.

'''{{Term|TFH|Stage}} 3''' tasks the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} with navigating a series of cliffs high above a body of {{Term|TFH|Water (Terrain)|link}}. They begin on one with a {{Term|TFH|Shock Switch|link}}, and striking it activates a nearby platform to move toward them, allowing them to get on and use it to reach the next cliff. This cliff has a second, elevated level, which two {{Plural|TFH|Links}} must be thrown onto and {{Term|TFH|Totem}} in order to strike a {{Term|TFH|Shock Switch|display=Switch}} across a gap with their {{Term|TFH|Bow}}. This {{Term|TFH|Shock Switch}} activates another platform which takes them to the third cliff. A {{Term|TFH|Treasure Chest}} with a {{Term|TFH|Blue Rupee}} and a {{Term|TFH|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}} with a {{Term|TFH|Red Rupee|link}} can be found here, the latter only reached through tossing a {{Term|TFH|Link}} up to it. A {{Term|TFH|Blob}} lies near each {{Term|TFH|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}}. A smaller platform automatically moves between this cliff and the fourth, and a {{Term|TFH|Shock Switch}} rests between them in an alcove above. This {{Term|TFH|Shock Switch|display=Switch}} can only be activated by firing an {{Term|TFH|Arrow|link}} at it by a {{Term|TFH|Link}} atop a full {{Term|TFH|Totem}}. Once struck, a bridge between the fourth and final cliffs appears, and the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway}} activates. A {{Term|TFH|Squiddy|link}} rests on the fourth platform, while two {{Plural|TFH|Heart}} rest on an elevated portion of the final one. {{Plural|TFH|Jar}}, {{Plural|TFH|Rock}}, bushes, and {{Plural|TFH|Grass|link}} litter the whole {{Term|TFH|Stage}}.

'''{{Term|TFH|Stage}} 4''' is the final stage. The {{Plural|TFH|Links}} begin on an elevated ledge, with four {{Plural|TFH|Totem Deku|link}} below. These {{Plural|TFH|Enemy|link}} must be attacked with {{Plural|TFH|Bow}}, as they retreat underground when approached. One {{Term|TFH|Totem Deku}} rests at ground level, while two require a two-{{Term|TFH|Link}} {{Term|TFH|Totem}} to reach, and the last requires a full {{Term|TFH|Totem}}. Once they are all defeated, a closed {{Term|TFH|Gate}} opens, revealing the area in which the {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway}} then appears. Twelve {{Plural|TFH|Green Rupee}}, {{Plural|TFH|Grass}}, and {{Plural|TFH|Jar}} can be found around the {{Term|TFH|Stage}}.

===Drablands Challenges===

Deku Forest includes the following [[Drablands Challenge]]s: "[[Drablands Challenge#Fewer Heart Containers!|Fewer Heart Containers!]]", "[[Drablands Challenge#Clear within the time limit!|Clear within the time limit!]]", and "[[Drablands Challenge#Guard the Orb!|Guard the Orb!]]".

During a Drablands Challenge, more enemies and newer enemies appear in the Level. The first Stage features more Blobs, with two notably appearing on top of the two logs where the Switches are, making it harder to throw the Links onto them as the enemies can push them off. A strategy to defeat these Blobs is to form a Totem of three and shoot down the Blob on the shortest log first, then throw two Links onto that log to shoot the Blob off the tallest log. Stage 2 features electrified [[Buzz Blob]]s as well as a Totem Deku. Stage 3 has [[Moblin]]s and a hidden [[Life Like]], while Stage 4 includes [[Tektite]]s in addition to the usual Totem Dekus.

In "Fewer Heart Containers!", the Links' health is reduced to half, to a minimum of four Hearts.

In "Clear within the time limit!", the Links are initially given 30 seconds to complete the Level. Hourglasses can be picked up to increase the remaining time. If the Links run out of time, then the entire Level is failed.

 

===Materials===

At the end of the Level, three chests can be opened. Two contain the same [[Material]], and one contains another.
