One of the Kokiri children living in the Kokiri Forest, Saria was one of Link's only friends growing up. She often spent her time playing the ocarina in the Lost Woods, in the sacread meadow outside the Forest Temple.

Background

When Link left the Kokiri Forest, Saria confronted him with a sad farewell. As a going-away present, she gave him a Fairy Ocarina. Link could meet up with Saria later in the sacred forest meadow. At that time she taught him Saria's Song, which Link could play to communicate with her at any time. This was a song Saria only taught to her closest friends.

Over the seven years that Link was asleep in the Temple of Time, evil creatures emanated from the Forest Temple and attacked the Kokiri Forest. Saria eventually went into the Forest Temple to investigate, but she was imprisoned by Phantom Ganon. After Phantom Ganon was defeated by Link, Saria was freed and was awoken to her destiny as Sage of the Forest.

Saria remained in the Chamber of Sages, where she combined her power with that of the other Sages in order to create a bridge to Ganon's Tower and later imprison Ganon in the Sacred Realm. Saria travelled in the form of a green sprite to Death Mountain with four other sages in the ending, from whence they observed the celebrations occuring in Lon Lon Ranch.
