question about the end of OoT and the Beginning of MM

2041 HC (MM):
Done with the battles that made him a Hero in his homeland, Link sets out to find a friend whom he parted ways with when he fulfilled his destiny and became the Hero of Time

does anyone know who that person was?...i haven't played MM or OoT in a long time..

I think he was looking for navi, I'm not sure though

This question has been asked many times before, and everyone allways dissagrees, but that person spoken of is most likely Navi.

so wait...did navi leave link when he woke up after he banished ganon?...i really should go play the game again...

Its a debate between Skull Kid and Navi. Those threads have chilled out for now, but they may be back soon. Since skull Kid was optional, some say it can't be him. Some think Nintendo screwed it up when they made Skull Kid say that thing at the end of MM abotu an old friend. Most people think its Navi, and thats the mostl logical.

The Deku Tree told Navi just to stay with him untill he defeated Ganon and left after the Master Sword was placed back.

now...i just keep asking stupid novice questions...sorry...

but..

how did the sages in OoT get chosen?

and where did Rauru come from?...any relations to the Hyrulian Blood Line?

I think it might've been destiny that chose the Sages. I seem to remember one of the Sages mentioning it not being her destiny to not live in the same world as Link... Maybe Saria? I'm sure there's someone who knows what quote I'm talking about.

And I suppose it can be assumed that Rauru is Hylian. But not a lot of information is given about him.

As Rauru calls out to them as, The Anchient Creators of Hyrule, when they are about to seal Ganon into the evil Realm, one can assume that the original sages are spirits that get reincarnated whithin other beings, or are actual bloodline descendants.

History talks breifly somewhere about there being a selected people to know the whereanouts of the Sacred Realm. Thee people were the sages. These Sages supposably built sacred temples around Hyrule to fortify the entrances to the Sacred Realm. After a time a civil war broke out amoungst the races assuming that one another were keeping the Triforce or knowledge about its wherabouts. This firiery war was halted by the King who united the country as it is in OoT. The entrances to the Sacred Realm were all sealed but one that served a particular purpous. The Temple of Time housed the last direct entrance to the Sacred Realm under the unification of the country. Here it was decied that three Spiritual Stones and the Ocarina o Time would be needed to enter it and each of the races under the united nation would hold these vital keys.

Rauru is the most mysterious Sage of them all. He is the oldest of all the sages and quite literaly may be some sort of spirit that has lived on for centuries - kind of like King Daphnes's case in WW. He may even be one of the original Sages since he has the odd ability to call upon to the other sages as, The Anchient Creators of Hyrule. It could be that he was one of the orignal chosen ones that was given eternal life by the Gods in order to ensure that the Triforce would be protected from evil ones. Or that he was chosen some time after the unification of Hyrule to ensure that the Triforce would not fall into evil hands. Either way you look at it, he is Hylian, but we don't know his history of how he came to be.

I have a qustion.

Why did Navi leave him in the first place?!

If you remember, the Deku Tree told Navi and Link that Navi will help him throughout the game and quest. As you know, she did help. (but was mostly annoying) When Ganon was sealed, Zelda sent Link back to enjoy his childhood. With it all done, Navi left to I would guess, wander the forest and Lost woods. Link had no friends there (except Saria but shes a sage and can't leave the Sacred Realm) so he went looking for her. Thats when Skull Kid steals his Ocarina in the forest and he falls into Termina.

another question..

in WW...when link "killed" ganon, why did he turn into stone?

It's Navi, because no other character leaves him after he completes his quest.

I think its just another way for nintendo to keep us guessing, and leave the game open to a sequel, i dont think it has any relevance to anything. But thats my opinion, dont let it alter yours

Is that true? Didn't Link lose several of his friends during his quest? Saria? Princess Ruto? And what about Princess Zelda?

But I agree with in Navi beeing Link's lost friend. Skull Kid was optional wich means it couldn't be him.

That's only in the future, though, when they're called away to be sages. In the present they're blissfully unaware of what is going to happen.
Y'know this topic on he whole pops up so much it's getting tiring, you'd think it would be solved immediatly after hearing that 'Fairy' sound.

It's skullkid, he even does that sniffing thing to Link in the end, and remembers him from OoT. Also, when the credits are done, it shows Link and Skullkid caved in the log. If it was Navi, they at least would have said something about how he didn't find her.

But that would be redundant if the friend was actually Navi, SK remembering Link is to serve a purpose of irony if anything.
And how would a brief acquaintance qualify as 'dear friend' against a stalwart companion from day one?

If I made the game I would do it like this...

Don't let Link reunite with Saria until the end of Majora's Mask.
During his way home from saving the world (end of Ocarina of Time) he meets Skull Kid and the Happy Mask Salesman and there the story of Majora's Mask begins.

Not during. After.

There is only one character who fits this criteria, and I shouldn't have to repeat who it is.

Well, I've heard it argued that Saria is that friend... I believe it's Navi, always have, but Saria is a possibility. Think about it, She is a Sage, so she wouldn't be there in the past when Link returned. Link would treasure Saria as "a beloved and invaluable friend" because she was his only friend in the past. I'm not saying I believe it was her he was searching for, I'm just saying if it wasn't Navi, it'd have to be Saria, not SkullKid.
