→Kokiri outside of the Forest?

2. Like the Lost Boys removed from Neverland, they will eventually grow up. Kokiri could actually be Hylian children who retain their youthful forms due to proximity to the Great Deku Tree and to their guardian fairies. The thought that they will die could be a rumor along the same lines as "don't make that expression, or your face will stick"--propagated to keep the Kokiri from leaving the forest (perhaps even started by the Kokiri themselves at some point in the past) but ultimately untrue. Or, the concept of "growing up" may have been so foreign and scary to the Kokiri that it seems like death, and the original message got warped. The fact that Link never received a fairy points to his destiny to eventually leave the Kokiri Forest and grow up. | 2. Like the Lost Boys removed from Neverland, they will eventually grow up.

::The point that kokiri cannot survive far away from the great deku tree has the slight problem that at the start of the game it dies and takes seven years for one to sprout up, so it may be more that mido or predecessor started such a belief [[User:Theif 1|Theif 1]] 21:12, 30 May 2011 (EDT) | |||

To my knowledge, Kikori is a generic term for woodsman. Thus, the etymology may be similar despite no actual relation between the lumberjacks and Kokiri. Moreso, I'm sure that the idea for use of apparel similar to Link's could have hatched up long before the idea for the kokiri. --Stalkid ([[User:Eponasowner|P]] [[User Talk:Eponasowner|T]]) 07:48, 18 August 2010 (EDT) | To my knowledge, Kikori is a generic term for woodsman.

:Yess, I agree. The [[Merchant]] from ''The Legend of Zelda'' also wears the same tunic as Link's. [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 07:51, 18 August 2010 (EDT) | :Yess, I agree.
