Talk:Great Deku Tree

From Zelda Wiki.org

Is it worth mentioning that The Great Deku speaks to link in the old language when he first see's him in Wind Waker? --Doddy 20:17, 18 July 2007 (PDT)

Sure, put it in. You'll want to link to "the ancient Hylian Language" (like the articles on Jabun and Valoo do). --Adamcox82 23:42, 18 July 2007 (PDT)

The Great Deku Tree appears in Tingle RPG.

Deku Sprout

Do we really have any evidence that the Deku Tree in WW is the Deku Sprout from OoT? I know it's a nice theory, but as far as I know that's all it is. I don't think it should really be written as fact until we have some supporting evidence. I won't edit the page or anything yet. I just want to know if we have evidence.

You're right. It should not be presented as fact. For as far as I know, there is no evidence. There's only the hint that he is pre-flood, because of some of the things he says, but since we don't know how much time there is between OOT and Ganon's return, it can not just be assumed the TWW GDT is the OOT DS.

I have an insane theory that I thought you might want to hear. I think that there wasn't a flood, but there was a landslide, which over many years "dumped" hyrule into the sea. I know its crazy, but its slimly possible.

2 things: I know that there's a possibility that the tree in TWW isn't the sprout in Ocarina of Time but he speaks the ancient language (from before the flood) and he is very old. I don't know if it's supported but I think that the language in OOT is the ancient language (it's hinted that 100 years have passed since OOT). Also, the game itself says that there was a great flood, and there was no reference to a landslide (Hyrule Field would look much more ruined). Pakkun 22:04, 3 July 2008 (UTC)Pakkun

I read in one of the Nintendo Powers that was talking about Wind Waker and that Wind Waker takes place roughly 100 years after Ocarina of Time (Link's current time, not seven years in the future). The sprout could be the Deku Tree in Wind Waker, but it is not sure.--Mistertrouble189 23:08, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Wind Waker takes place from the Adult Line (time of Adult Link in Ocarina of Time). Nintendo said that it was 100 years later only a long time prior to the release of Wind Waker. That has now been disregarded as in-game text and evidence clearly indicates that many hundreds, if not thousands, of years have passed since Ocarina of Time. This is also true of Twilight Princess. Nintendo again said prior to the game's release that it takes place 100 years after Ocarina of Time. But in-game text and evidence here indicates that at least a thousand years have passed. This makes any argument for the Deku Tree Sprout or the Great Deku Tree in Ocarina of Time being something in the other two games. That kind of growth just is not possible in only 100 years. That would never happen. Here in reality, Redwood trees take several hundred years to get really big. If people are to continue to argue these Deku Tree theories, then they have to get their timescales more realistic.—Matt ^(T C F S) 23:31, July 8, 2008 (UTC)

• But this is the Legend of Zelda, anything can happen ;) but I get your point and thank you for correcting me about the whole timeline thing, and yeah it is probably more than a 100 years between OoT and WW.--Mistertrouble189 02:35, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Deku Tree in TP

I just found an interesting video of a suppossed sighting of the GDT in Twilight Princess. In the Sacred Forest, there is a bridge that leads to another part of the forest, if you've gotten that far, I'm sure you know. If you back up and look up, there's a large tree with what appears to be a face. The quality is bad and I can't quite tell so I'm going there now. Here's the link
