The Great Deku Tree first appeared in ‘The Legend of Zelda – Ocarina of Time’, where he has a curse put on him by the Gerudo – King of Thieves; Link then goes on a quest to lift the curse from the Great Deku Tree, but despite Links brave efforts to help him, he could not be saved and sadly perished. He then appeared in the next game ‘The Wind Waker’, where he begins to grow back as a tree sprout, but he is unfortunately under attack from the small enemies – the ‘ChuChus’. He then appears again in the game ‘Breath of the Wild’, where he presents Link with ‘The Guardian Sword’ to defeat Calamity Ganon, an evil force that has taken over Hyrule, and the surrounding area. Link defeats the evil force Calamity Ganon and brings peace to Hyrule and the other areas around it.
