Kokiri are immortal including Saria and mido so they would be the same as in ocarina of time and kokiri stay cjoldren as long as they live under the protection of the great deku tree so kokiri dont have ancestors or descendents.

awesome story. now, if you'll be so kind as to upload a new chappy(I don't care when, just do it. and it helps to stop reading so many other fics!) then I will applaud and we'll get on with our lives.

okay, other people will get on with their lives. I have none. it's kinda sad.
KokiriLink 6/14/09 . chapter 7
Lol! He got stew all over his head... Poor Link.

My favourite two parts are the bit where Mido came in and went “Why you smug little twerp, I’ll teach you to mock the Great Mido!” and then Link said “Little…I’m bigger than you Freckles”. That made my day. And then at the end, where the bigger of the two gorons said, "I don’t know. However I have a strange feeling that there is something special in that forest right now. I don’t know why but it just gives me a good feeling in my stomach and I always trust my stomach". He always trusts his stomach. XD

Well, I noticed that, contrary to my previous review, the "two-dimensional moments" are no longer there. They have dissapeared (Like Navi did during the boss fight XD). Keep up the good work!

(I'm such a sucker for Link/Saria pairings XP)
KokiriLink 6/14/09 . chapter 4
I love the story, the idea behind it is briliant. Your writing style seems a little two-dimensional at times, though, a little unoriginal. But, for the most part, great story, keep up the good work!
Crazymallets 5/17/09 . chapter 7
This story is great. Most people who try to create an original Legend of Zelda just screw it up and make Link a stupid weakling, and the OCs are usually horrible. Yet you've done a great job with Link's, and everyone else's character. Its almost exactly how I imagined them to act. Still waiting for Ganondorf and the Master sword to make their appearances though. Please update soon.

By the way I have a few questions. First of all, what Impa are you using. I'm assuming the one from Ocarina of time. Also, the past Link and Saria are constantly mentioned. Is this story suppose to take place after Ocarina of Time, or are you also using an original Zelda time line as well?
Dannondorf 5/6/09 . chapter 7
Hello! Finally getting some time to read all the Saria/Link stuffs I've been missing out on. I'm not sure I can articulate how awesome it is that your story has its own logo and soundtrack. It's playing now as I write this, and I'm growing increasingly jealous. :P

First thing's first: I LOVE how you depict Link and Saria. We come to know them well almost immediately. Link is brave, ambitious, strong, and hardworking, and he does not stand for injustice, whether that injustice is done unto him or anyone else. That last trait, combined with a somewhat short temper and an impetuous nature, seems to make as many enemies for him as friends (I lol'd at how quick he was to resort to physical violence sometimes against lords and such), but his love for his friends and determination to help them no matter what (as best evidenced in the beginning of chapter six when he brushes off thinking about his "possession" episode in favor of pressing onward to help the Kokiri) make him very likable and are ample evidence for his potential as a hero. Saria is brave too, even if she's not a warrior-I thought the bit with her examining the moss was well done-and she's passionate, if a little hot-headed. The dynamic between them is entertaining thus far, especially (as I'm sure other reviewers have told you already) the whole stew scene, and I'm delighted that the romance isn't as rushed as I've seen in other stories.

The story as a whole has a ton of personality-the explanations of heart pieces and heart containers work well, as does the regenerating tunic, and the whole slayer group reminds me a lot of the guild in Fable, which resonates strongly with me (I hope to see more of that group in future chapters :))-and the humorous bits do not disrupt the serious side of the narrative. But the parts you've done well leave something to be desired in others: specifically, the villains are a little disappointing and seem rather generic thus far in comparison to the fleshed out Link and Saria. Also, I'm not sure what to think of Mido. Yes, he's supposed to be a jerk and dislikes Link because of his bond with Saria, but he's shown hardly any positive side to his personality, which makes him a bit unbelievable as a character. You have, however, done one thing with Nightmare which should be noted by all future villains: he has realized who Link is, which means (presumably, unless he's a moron :P) that he won't make the classic mistake of underestimating his enemy again.

I lol'd at the Deku Tree telling Link that tights impress the ladies. (How the heck would a tree know? o_O) That part deserves its own paragraph in this review.

My biggest worry is that Link's power is increasing too quickly. He finds the Heroes Bow, discovers he has the Triforce of Courage, learns to use fire and ice arrows, and receives the three spells of the goddesses all before he even completes the first temple. And though you've shown that he is definitely stronger and more skilled than your typical eleven-year-old (I THINK that's how old he is, anyway, since you mentioned he was ten at the beginning and then he went through a year of training.), he seems to possess much more physical power than a boy should have during his fight with Seriador. Despite the seven-feet-tall boss's "bulging muscles along his arms, chest and legs", Link somehow manages to shatter the boss's great sword and slice through his neck in the same motion. And after finishing the first temple, he's already receiving lessons from the skeleton fighter from Twilight Princess? Obviously, Link has worked hard and suffered a fair amount of pain, but for the most part, it seems his abilities and resources have just been GIVEN to him. Malon and Talon give Epona to him free of charge, Link goes from not knowing any magic to mastering some of what I assume are the most potent spells out there simply by finding some crystals, and the way the leader of the slayers gives him the gilded sword seems a bit abrupt and underdeveloped.

Holy crap! Navi is useful! ZOMG! Incorporating her into battles has worked well so far, and it's nice to see her in a more positive and less shallow light...but where in the world is she during the stew scene? Frolicking with other fairies? Giving Saria and Link some alone time?

You've created something epic here, and the pace of the story-both the adventure and the romance-seems just right to me. The rate at which people are recovering memories from their past lives is appropriate here. But Link's growth as a hero is a little quick, even with his doubts of being the Hero of Time's reincarnation, and the villains are a little boring. That basically sums up my review. "The Blade of Mirrors" has made me glad that I'm reading fanfiction again rather than strictly writing it, and for that you deserve some green curry. (or iced coffee, since you seem to prefer that. Blegh! :P) There's a severe lack of epic Saria/Link fics, so let's you and me keep at it, okay?

Okay once again I find myself doing this...review that is which i usually dont but i feel i should since you've done the same for my story. Anyways i loved this chapter it was a much need downtime that makes all good stories...well good. I only have two things...so i wont make this one as long as the last one (lol) 1. I notice that you referred to Nightmare as Seriador a couple of times during the beginning, maybe you didnt catch them. 2. is the Impa in this story a different one or is she the same one and is no longer a sage. Just wondering. Keep up the good work, and i'll keep review if i feel it is needed...just know if i dont say anything then i prob like it, if i review then its usually something that i notice (like this one) or i hadnt before. Till later
