Although Link defeats Queen Gohma, the Deku Tree was doomed before Link had begun; before he dies, the Deku Tree gives Link the Kokiri's Emerald and tells him to seek Princess Zelda at Hyrule Castle.
Selvom Link besejrer Gohma, afslører Træet at det var dødsdømt før Link var begyndt; før Træet dør giver han Link The Kokiri Emerald og bønfalder ham om at finde "The Princess of Destiny" (Princess Zelda) på Hyrule Castle.
