Mido has a reputation of being mean to others and bossing them around, but he respects the [[Great Deku Tree]] and craves to be liked by [[Saria]].<ref>{{Cite|That meanie, {{Color|OoT3D Red|Mido}}, is making me cut the grass at Saria's house. Mido told Saria he would do it so she would like him, but I'm the one doing all the work! You and {{Color|OoT3D Red|Saria}} are close friends, so will you help me cut the grass? I'll let you keep anything you find while cutting it.|Kokiri|OoT3D}}</ref> This might be either source or fuel for his condescending attitude towards [[Link]] who is both favoured by the Great Deku Tree and best friend to Saria. Mido's prime target is Link's "[[Hylian|not quite Kokiri-ness]]," such as that for a long time Link didn't have a [[Fairy]] partner, resulting in Mido calling him "Mr. No Fairy."<ref>{{Cite|Hey you! "Mr. No Fairy!" What's your business with the Great Deku Tree? Without a fairy, you're not even a real man!|Mido|OoT}}</ref> | |||

Despite this, Mido is not a bad person. His jealousy of Link does not stop him from giving advice to him,<ref>{{Cite|If you're looking for Saria, she's in the Lost Woods, as usual.

Unfortunately, Link's visit to the Great Deku Tree ended with the latter's death as a result of the curse laid on him by [[Ganondorf]]. When Mido found out the father of the Kokiri had passed away, he immediately lay the blame on Link further motivating him to leave the [[Kokiri Forest]].<ref>{{Cite|Hey, Link! What did you do?!

As such, he did not let him through either until the stranger played him [[Saria's Song]] and thereby proved he was friends with Saria.<ref>{{Cite|That melody?! Saria plays that song all the time!
