Saria

Saria (サリア?) is a green-haired Kokiri girl who befriends Link while he grows up in Kokiri Forest. She gives Link the Fairy Ocarina, Link's first instrument in Ocarina of Time, as a memento of their friendship as he leaves Kokiri Forest for Hyrule Castle. She later teaches him "Saria's Song", the magical powers of which enable Link to communicate with her from afar. When Link returns as an adult, he contacts Saria with the ocarina. She explains that the forest spirits called out to her from the Forest Temple. When she investigated, evil spirits and monsters imprisoned her. Link rescues her after defeating the four Poe Sisters and Phantom Ganon. Saria is awakened as the Forest Sage and gives Link the Forest Medallion.

Saria is one of three Kokiri to enter the Lost Woods (the other two being Mido and Fado). The Kokiri children admire Saria for her kindness and for being the only one of her people to thoroughly navigate the Lost Woods. The Kokiri did not know she was a Sage. Saria's favorite place in the forest is the Sacred Forest Meadow. When Link is an adult, he finds Mido in the Lost Woods, who comments that Saria had a secret love interest in Link.
