Saria

Saria is a major character in . She is a Kokiri girl and Link's old friend whom he regards as a motherly figure. She is also a of the Seven Sages, representing the Sage of Forest.
Because of her kindhearted nature, she is very well-liked by the people of her village, especially Mido who developed a deep fondness for her. She is also a friend of Link, an outsider among the Kokiri, resulting in a powerful bond which seems to elicit feelings of jealousy from Mido, causing him to shun Link most of the time.
==History==
Saria appears for the first time when Link exits his house after having been summoned to an audience with the Great Deku Tree by Navi. She initially expresses great excitement towards Link's meeting with the Guardian of the Forest, but senses trouble on the horizon and advises him to find the proper equipment just in case. After the Deku Tree tasks Link with the quest to find Princess Zelda, Saria approaches her friend as he is about to leave the forest. Although she appears to be greatly saddened by his departure, Saria assures him that she always knew that he was different from the other Kokiri. She then entrusts him with a Fairy Ocarina as a memento of everything that he is leaving behind. At a loss for words, she watches with a sorrowful expression as he exits through the tunnel leading into the larger Land of Hyrule.
After Link's first visit to Hyrule Castle, he returns back to the forest to see Saria, and she hints that the forest will one day become a place of importance for the two of them (foreshadowing the future) and teaches him a song called "Saria's Song" that's used for whenever Link wants to talk to Saria telepathically.
Seven years later, Link wakes up after a deep sleep slumber and hears Saria contacting him telepathically to tell him that she's been kidnapped after trying to go to the Forest Temple to return Kokiri Forest to its natural state by herself, but got caught by monsters. Once Link saves her, Saria meets Link to confirm that she is now the Sage of the Forest, meaning she can't be with him and has to accept her fate as a sage. After this, if Link talks to Mido, he'll hint that Saria loved Link as Link as he says she really liked him. Towards the end of the game, Saria and the other sages create a bridge for Link to cross to enter Ganon's Castle. At the end of the final battle with Ganon, she also helps seal Ganon in the Scared Realm along with the other sages. She is last seen during the end credits with the other sages (sans Rauru) looking down on Hyrule from Death Mountain and smiling at the liberated state of it before departing.

==Trivia==
*Saria is the only Kokiri who recognized Link after seven years have past. This is due to the fact that the Kokiri never age, and Link, on the other hand, did due to his Hylian heritage. This could also be because she always kept connection with Link due to her song.
*Each of the seven sages in Ocarina of Time correspond with one of seven heavenly virtues. In Saria's case, it would be charity (the opposite of greed). This is due to the fact that she selflessly gives her fairy ocarina to Link as a memento for his adventures as well as a token of their friendship and even sacrifices her life for the sake of Hyrule and saving the entire kingdom from Ganondorf's tyranny.
