Saria

SARIA

When Link finally wakes up and Navi tells him of the Deku Tree’s request, he hears someone calling his name from outside his hut. He looks out to see his best friend, a young Kokiri girl with bright green hair.

This is Saria, the most prominent named member of the Kokiri race and their representative as a whole. They are small woodland folk with nature magic and a strong connection to fairies. They stay perpetually young forever, a trait that alienates Link from them slightly. Saria will eventually be revealed as the sage of the forest temple.

As a fighter, Saria will be light and small, quick with a lot of nature magic backing her up. Her moveset will pull from her own abilities, the abilities of other Kokiri, common features of forests in Hyrule, and Lana’s spear moveset from Hyrule Warriors (a moveset that would absolutely have gone to Saria had she been in the game).

Likelihood rating: Good possibility.
