Link, a Kokori (a race of Hylians that physically stays a child) was different from the others. The Great Deku Tree and Saria were his only real friends- and Mido, the Head Kokori was very jealous. But, the most unique and curious thing was, even though all the other Kokori had fairies, Link did not. Until, one morning, The Great Deku Tree sends Navi to him. Together, they defeated the nasty Arachnid Queen Gohma that was sent by the Evil Lord Gannondorf to devour The Great Deku Tree for not handing over the Spiritual Stone of the Forest. When Link destroys the creature, he is gifted the stone, also known as The Kokori's Emerald. But The Great Deku Tree had horrible news.
Gohma had ruined him beyond repair. And, with his dying breath, he told Link and Navi to leave the forest (which Kokori aren't supposed do) go visit Princess Zelda.
Little did young Link know, he was destined to much greater things than any of the other "forest kids." He was to be the legendary Hero of Time. And he had to save Hyrule from the King of the Gerudo, Gannondorf, from engulfing the world in his dark, dark power.
In other words, a lonely forest kid got a fairy, tried to save a huge talking tree who died anyway and has to save that idiot bitch who can't keep herself outta trouble who so happens to be princess of the land and stop a crazy ass guy from becoming king.
Damn that Gannon.
