Deku Scrub: Difference between revisions

Of the two games, {{OoS}} is the only one to feature hostile Deku Scrubs. These Scrubs behave similarly to the ones in {{OoT|-}}; they shoot seeds at Link from afar and hide themselves when he approaches. Deflecting their seeds back at them with the shield will cause them to surrender, at which point they will offer Link helpful advice.<ref>{{Cite|I surrender! In return, I offer my advice! If you are lost in the woods, travel west, then south, east and north, taking each step in a warmer season.|Deku Scrub|OoS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|I surrender! In return, here's a tip!

Even if you have a keyhole, you still need a key. Moronic brother! The key is in the valley in the west.|Deku Scrub|OoS}}</ref> Two such Scrubs appear on [[Mt. Cucco]], one of which has a [[sign]] next to it that forbids the use of shields and deflecting seeds, comically revealing its weakness.<ref>{{Cite|No shields!!! No deflecting seeds allowed!|Sign|OoS}}</ref>

There are also three friendly Deku Scrubs who have roles in [[sidequest]]s. One of them is located in the [[Lost Woods]] and plays a role in the {{Term|OoS|Trading Quest|link}}. After playing the [[Phonograph]] for it, it will tell Link how to find his "Secret Spot," where the final reward for the {{Term|OoS|Trading Quest}}, a greater [[Sword]], is located.<ref>{{Cite|Dee! What a tune! I love it! I'll teach you the way to my Secret Spot! If temperatures rise as you go far to the west, you'll find it!|Deku Scrub|OoS}}</ref> In a [[Linked Game]] of {{OoA}}, a friendly Deku Scrub appears in Deku Forest. He can be heard singing a "secret" (the [[Linked Game/Secrets#Deku Secret|Deku Secret]]) called "Love the Seed," which is apparently quite popular among Dekus.<ref>{{Cite|Love, love the seed! This secret is all the rage among Deku Scrubs now!

Yes! That's it! It touches me everytime I hear it! In return, I'll make it so you can carry more seeds! Come back with your Seed Satchel full with all five kinds of seeds!|Deku Scrub|OoS}}</ref>
