Saria

Saria is the Forest Sage from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. She is a Kokiri and a good friend of Link's.

Appearance
Saria is a young girl with short green hair held back with a dark green headband and blue eyes. She wears a short green romper fastened with a brown belt over a darker green turtleneck and green boots.

In-game
Saria and Link are great friends. Saria is the first to congratulate him for receiving his own fairy, Navi, and for being summoned by the Great Deku Tree. She advises him to obtain the proper equipment first. After Link defeats Gohma and is sent to speak with Princess Zelda, she is sad that her friend is leaving and stops him on the bridge. She gifts him the Fairy Ocarina as a token of friendship, and assures him he has always been special to her. She sadly watches him leave the forest. Upon returning, Saria is later found in the Sacred Forest Meadow, where she is happy to see him and teaches him Saria's Song, saying she has a feeling the area will become a special place for the two. The song can subsequently be used to contact Saria, and also cheers up Darunia.

During Link's seven year slumber, Saria feels spirits calling for her help from the Forest Temple, but gets captured by evil creatures upon investigating. When Link awakes and finds Hyrule in disarray, Sheik explains his quest, hinting that Saria may be one of the sages he has to awaken. To get to the Forest Temple, Link must get past Mido, who is blocking his way, by playing Saria's Song to prove he knew Saria. And indeed, when Link defeats Phantom Ganon, Saria turns out to be the Forest Sage, and she explains that they can't live in the same world, but that she will help him from the Sage's Realm. She gives him the Forest Medallion, and later helps him enter Ganon's Castle with the other Sages. She breaks the Forest Seal inside of the castle.

Trivia

 * In Wind Waker, there are a few references to Saria and other sprites from Ocarina of Time.
 * Mido mentions that Saria really liked Link. Going off of this, she might have had a crush on him.
