meant to upload this here a while ago, but finally adding this to my art blog - some of you may remember this one and i'm still quite pleased with how it turned out!
while this was technically in honour of the release of tears of the kingdom, i've always been a huge fan of the art style from the wind waker official art and given that's where these guys started it felt appropriate to do my homage to match

(Very late) Linktober 2023 – Day 24. Korok/Kikwi/Kokiri
I really don't like Kikwis 😆
Here's Link playing some music with Fado and Makar instead! I hope we'll get to see the Kokiri again someday :/
(For some reason Makar is called Dumoria in French 🤷♀️)

Zelda Theory - The True form of the Kokiri / Koroks
There's something about the Kokiri that doesn't add up.
There's the matter of the rules of the Kokiri and the Lost Woods. Although that might be simpler than it seems.
One rule is that Kokiri must not leave the Kokiri Forest, because they might die, or grow up. But we see them at Lonlon Ranch at the end of Zelda 64.
There can be a simple explanation:
It was the old Deku Tree that made the original rule, and the New Deku Tree does not demand that the Kokiri be permanently confined to the Forest.
But, I gotta ask, why wait until now to revoke that rule?
"Ocarina of Time" never mentions it, but there are some lapses in logic when it comes to Link and the Kokiri.
The Deku Sprout reveals to us that Link was actually delivered to the Deku Tree as a baby and raised as one of the Kokiri. But… wouldn't they all remember Link was a baby?
Like, wouldn't Saria, his closest friend, remark to him that he was a baby, when they met? Wouldn't his bullies (like Mido) tease him about being a baby?
Unless, they all forgot about it.
The Deku Tree is very old and powerful Spirit, he might have the power to alter memories. Especially the memories of the Kokiri, who are probably just extensions of his own spirit.
I'd could even speculate that the Koroks are actually the ORIGINAL forms, and they became the child-like Kokiri, in order to accommodate baby Link, and allow him to grow up around people that look like him.
And of course, the special rules that Kokiri cannot leave the Forest were set in place to protect Link. (at first)
It's likely the Deku Tree could sense the spirit of the Hero inside of Link, and he needed to be guarded until Destiny called on him to rise up.
Finally, by the time of Wind Waker and Breath of the Wild, the Deku tree no longer had a child to guard, so he had no qualms about letting the Koroks go beyond the forest. Regular people can't SEE the Koroks!
(Also, after many tests, we know Koroks are indestructable, lol)
Imagine that... Saria was a Korok the entire time. Link never saw her true face. It makes it all the sadder, doesn't it?
