'''Saria''' is a character in {{OoT}}. She is [[Link]]'s childhood friend from his years in the [[Kokiri Forest]]. She is well-liked amongst other [[Kokiri]], in particular by their boss, [[Mido]], whose dislike of Link might be partially explained by the latter's close friendship with Saria.<ref>{{Cite|That meanie, Mido, made me cut the grass at Saria's house.

The '''Rickety Coaster''' is the name for the minigame and the minecart track that sprawls around the [[Shipyard| Shipyard Construction Bay]] located on an island in the [[Lanayru Sand Sea]] featured in ''Skyward Sword''. It is run by a [[Goron]] by the name of [[Gortram]].<ref>{{cite|His name is Gortram. He is a colorful entrepreneur of the Goron race--beings made of living stone.

Saria is the first of the Kokiri to greet Link after he receives [[Navi|a Fairy]] of his own. She congratulates him for finally finding a Fairy and is surprised to hear that the [[Great Deku Tree]] has summoned Link, as it is a great honor to speak with him.<ref>{{Cite|Yahoo! Hi, Link! Wow! A fairy!! Finally, a fairy came to you, Link! Wow! That's great news! I'm so happy for you! Now you're a true Kokiri, Link! Is that right? The Great Deku Tree has summoned you? It's quite an honor to talk to the Great Deku Tree! I'll wait for you here. Get going! Go see the Great Deku Tree!|Saria|OoT}}</ref> After receiving his quest from the Great Deku Tree, Saria meets Link at the exit to the forest to say goodbye. She gives him the [[Fairy Ocarina]] and asks him to come back and visit her.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, you're leaving... I knew... that you would leave the forest... someday, Link... Because you are different from me and my friends.... But that's OK, because we'll be friends forever... won't we? I want you to have this Ocarina... Please take good care of it. When you play my Ocarina, I hope you will think of me and come back to the forest to visit.|Saria|OoT}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|You received the Fairy Ocarina! This is a memento from Saria.|N/A|OoT}}</ref>
Running around multiple sharp turns, the Rickety Coaster is a mine-cart track that connects large, ancient buildings that were part of a town where the [[Ancient Robot|citizens]] would help build the ships located in the [[Shipyard|Shipyard]].<ref>{{cite|We've arrived, vrrm!

After riding through twists and turns Link reaches the Construction Bay where nothing but a [[Moldarach]] and sand is found.

Once Link has met with [[Princess Zelda]], he can find Saria in the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]], where she will teach the young hero the song which she composed. This song allows Link to speak with her at any time and is also used to brighten [[Darunia]]'s mood, thus allowing him to grant Link access to [[Dodongo's Cavern]].
After obtaining [[Sacred Flames|Nayru's Flame]], Link can return to the Rickety Coaster to find that Gortram has set up a minigame for the price of 20 Rupees with two track choices: the "Heart Stopping! or the "Scary!" track.<ref>{{cite|What do you say? Have you got the guts to ride the Rickety Coaster? Just 20 Rupees a ride.|Gortram|SS}}</ref> "The Heart Stopping!" requires that Link beats Gortram's incredible time of 1:05 in order to receive a [[Piece of Heart]]. Provided that Link's time is under 1:10, he is awarded with various [[Treasure#Skyward_Sword|Treasures]]. The "Scary!" track's rewards are 50 [[Rupee]]s for a time of under 40 seconds, and 100 Rupees for beating Gortram's record of 30 seconds.

Saria is a character in Ocarina of Time. She is Link's childhood friend from his years in the Kokiri Forest. She is well-liked amongst other Kokiri, in particular by their boss, Mido, whose dislike of Link might be partially explained by the latter's close friendship with Saria.[1] She often travels to the Sacred Forest Meadow to play her Ocarina.[2] She plays a song that inspires people to dance called "Saria's Song." When Link becomes the Hero of Time, he rescues Saria from the Forest Temple and allows her to awaken as the Sage of Forest.

Saria is the first of the Kokiri to greet Link after he receives a Fairy of his own. She congratulates him for finally finding a Fairy and is surprised to hear that the Great Deku Tree has summoned Link, as it is a great honor to speak with him.[3] After receiving his quest from the Great Deku Tree, Saria meets Link at the exit to the forest to say goodbye.
