{{Term|TWWHD|Makar}} is a [[Korok]] from the [[Forest Haven]]. Under the care of the [[Great Deku Tree#The Wind Waker|Great Deku Tree]], considered a father figure to the child of the forest, Makar holds a special position among the Koroks as their only musician and performs for them regularly. Makar's musical forte is the [[Makar's Violin|violin]], which might seem at first to be a cello due to Makar's height. He primarily plays at the ceremony that takes place annually around the time [[Link]] first arrives at the Forest Haven to retrieve [[Farore's Pearl]], although he and his friend [[Linder]] are always late according to the Great Deku Tree.<ref>{{Cite|You and Makar are always late...|Great Deku Tree|TWW}}</ref> Before the Koroks can perform the ceremony for Link, Linder flies in and informs the Great Deku Tree that Makar flew over the nearby [[Forbidden Woods]] and fell into the area, despite the Great Deku Tree's warning that it had become overrun with monsters.<ref>{{Cite|N-No! It is not that, O Great Deku Tree! Makar...fell into the Forbidden Woods! I told him to be careful! But still Makar flew above the Forbidden Woods, and as he drew close to it...|Linder|TWW}}</ref> This delays the ceremony and requires Link to go to the Forbidden Woods to rescue him. Just when Link finds Makar, the Korok is eaten by [[Kalle Demos]]. Link defeats the monster and the two return to Forest Haven. The Great Deku Tree is glad to see him safe, but Makar begins to cry and apologizes.<ref>{{Cite|I'm sorry, Great Deku Tree... I know you warned us many times, but still I did not listen...|Makar|TWW}}</ref> The Great Deku Tree forgives him,<ref>{{Cite|Do not worry, Makar. You are safe now. Just be more careful from now on.|Great Deku Tree|TWW}}</ref> and tells Makar to play his violin.<ref>{{Cite|All is well, Makar. Do not cry. Please... Play your songs for me as you always do.|Great Deku Tree|TWW}}</ref> Makar plays for the ceremony, causing great seeds to grow from the Great Deku Tree.<ref>{{Cite|Great Deku Tree! This year you have once again produced some splendid seeds!|Aldo (The Wind Waker)|TWW}}</ref> While the other Koroks take the seeds across the [[Great Sea]],<ref>{{Cite|With these seeds, we will continue to spread new forests across the Great Sea.|Rown|TWW}}</ref> Makar and [[Hollo]] remain in the forest.<ref>{{Cite|As for Makar, he is somewhere here in the Forest Haven. But I do not know where.|Great Deku Tree|TWW}}</ref> Makar composes a new tune annually for the ceremony and practices it behind the waterfall at Forest Haven so that the others will not hear, though his music is actually audible from his hiding place.<ref>{{Cite|I'm practicing a new song for next year's ceremony. And I need privacy! It isn't any fun if everyone knows in advance what song I'll play.|Makar|TWW}}</ref> It is by following the sound of his music that Link is able to find Makar later in his quest.
