Forest Haven

In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Link sailed to the Forest Haven in order to ask the Great Deku Tree for Farore's Pearl. Inside the haven, Link meets the Koroks, who are spirits of the forest. Aware that Ganondorf has returned, the Deku Tree agrees to give Link the pearl after the completion of the annual ceremony to replenish the forests. Linder, one of the Koroks, enters and informs the Deku Tree that Makar has fallen into the Forbidden Woods. The Deku Tree, believing that Link's appearance at this time was not a coincidence, asks Link to rescue Makar. Link does so, allowing the ceremony to be completed, and receives Farore's Pearl.

The spring water in the Forest Haven can be bottled and used to refresh the Deku Sprouts scattered around the Great Sea. The Haven is also the only place to find (and catch) Forest Fireflies.

The Forest Haven and Forbidden Woods are probably related to Kokiri Forest and the Lost Woods from the Ocarina of Time. Inside the Forbidden Woods are structures that look like the homes of the Kokiri (they are the same shape as in the Ocarina of Time). It is likely that the Forest Haven was once the Great Deku Tree's Clearing. You can also hear the beginning of Saria's song inside Forest Haven.
