Skull Kid or Stalfos?

The rumor is: if you get lost in the forest, you become a Skullkid. Correct?

Well, the gal, "Fado" (the Kokiri girl with blond hair who later appears in the Lost Woods) says that you'll turn into a Stalfos.

Am I missing something? Are you supposed to turn into a Skullkid or Stalfos? This always confused me, and I've never clarified it.

Re: Skull Kid or Stalfos?

Maybe its just a rumor that you'll turn into something, and there are variations on the story. It could just be local legend amongst the Kokiri. Idk.

Oh, yeahhh maybe...

That's so weird, though. Because I can't recall any Stalfos in the Lost Woods. But, the Forest Temple was riddled with them. Isn't that weird, though? Skullkids would make sense, but...well I dunno.

Re: Skull Kid or Stalfos?

no your thinking of something else, you turn into a stalfos if you get lost, skull kids are like a race or you must be getting confused with stalchildren as well. I made a theory thread about this a while ago which possibly/likely explains the whole thing about getting lost and stalchildren etc....

Where can I find that if you don't mind me asking?

I don't believe stalchildren have to do with anything...but I just thought you got turned into a Skullkid if you stayed there...but then that girl said "Stalfos" and I was like *twitch* wtf? So yeah...if you can direct me to your theory, that would be cool...

Re: Skull Kid or Stalfos?

she said stalfos when referring to you and the near-dead guy. both adults. so...
adults become stalfos, and children(kokiri) become skull kids. I just thought this up, maybe it's legit, I DON"T KNOW.

Re: Skull Kid or Stalfos?

I'm pretty sure it's if a Hylian gets lost, they turn into stalfos. The Korkori are the ones that turn into skull kids.

[EDIT]I'm also sure Zelda Wiki explains this. XD[/EDIT]

Re: Skull Kid or Stalfos?

Korkiri children aren't affected in the Lost Woods, that's why that girl could hang around in there. If a hylian child gets lost in the woods, they become a skull kid. For an adult, they become a stalfos. Hope that clears things up.

The Korkori are the ones that turn into skull kids. I can vaguely remember reading something about that in the game. Anyways, I think it says something like if a Korkori gets lost they turn into a skull kid. That girl was probably not lost. That's why she wasn't a skull kid. Also, why would a Hylian kid be in the woods aside from link??? Don't they all live in Castle Town?

Re: Skull Kid or Stalfos?

The Kokiri Children wont turn into Skullkids. They have their fairies that will be able to guide them home so they wont ever get lost. It's children who don;t have fairies who turn into Skullkids. The adults turn into Stalfos when they get lost in the Lost Woods. If Link didn't have Navi and went wondering around the forest he would've turned into a Skullkid or Stalfos.
As for why people other than the Kokiri would be in the Lost Woods I couldn't tell you.

Exactly. When Fado is saying that, she is refering to non-fairy folk. So Kokiris don't get lost, but non-fairy folk do. Adults are the same way except they turn into Stalfos.

Re: Skull Kid or Stalfos?

I'm guessing that people who know how to survive in the woods become skull kids and people who have no survival skills become a stalfos.

What do you mean by those without survival skills become Stalfos? Do you mean like the Stalfos you find in the Shadow Temple?

Also this thread begs the question, Where do Stalchildren come from? If it is true that Skullkids and Stalfos are the result of those that get lost in the Lost Woods ( we know the Stalfos part is true as Fado said it in the game) then what about a Stalchild?

Re: Skull Kid or Stalfos?

where can I find it? and maybe stalchildren is another word for skull kid? since stalfos are skeletons, skull kids might be just a lesser form... probably not.

No...Stalchildren were the skeletons out in Hyrule Field at night.

I don't think that Stalchildren are necessarily lesser forms of Stalfos. I believe that they're entirely seperate. The prefix "Stal" has obvious represented skeletal creatures throughout the Zelda games. I don't think that Stalfos/children need to be linked. I think that Stalchildren are a skeletal sub-category of enemies just named for their short stature.

It would make sense that adults turn into Stalfos I guess, since the Forest Temple was riddled with them. But Stalchildren were only found in Hyrule Field, yes? So they wouldn't really have anything to do with the forest.

Maybe if a Kokiri gets seperated from his fairy he can get lost and become a skullkid.

I can easily imagine Mido getting sick of hearing "HEY LISTEN" and beating his fairy over the head with a Deku stick
