The '''Fierce Deity''' is one of the transformations [[Link]] turns into in {{MM}}, achieved by wearing the [[Fierce Deity's Mask]]. This transforms him into a mysterious and powerful warrior resembling a [[Hylian]]. It is one of four [[Transformation#Majora's Mask|mask transformations]] in the game.
−
'''Deku Scrubs''', also known simply as '''Dekus''', are a tribe of small forest creatures as well as enemies that inhabit [[Hyrule]], [[Termina]], and several other countries.
  
   
  +
==Transformation==
−
They are plant-based<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= It is susceptible to fire, since it originates from plants.|game= Majora's Mask|page= 25}}</ref> creatures that have skin seemingly made of wood and hair and "clothing" made of leaves and flowers, and spit [[Deku Nut]]s at their enemies when threatened. They usually appear in a small, flower-like tuft of foliage which they hide within when threatened. They often appear as enemies, but despite their antagonistic nature they tend to be friendly, at least when they believe it to be in their own benefit.
  
  +
Link obtains the Fierce Deity Mask after he trades the twenty non-transforming masks to the four [[Moon Children]] [[Inside the Moon]]. The final child sitting by the [[tree]] will give Link the Fierce Deity Mask after noticing all his other masks are gone. Wearing this mask enables Link to transform into the Fierce Deity only during boss battles.
   
  +
In {{MM3D}}, Link can also transform into the Fierce Deity inside the two [[Fishing Hole]]s. If he attempts to leave when in Fierce Deity form, the [[Fishing Hole Man]] will keep the young hero from doing so, wondering how he got in there in the first place.<ref>{{Cite|Hey. Hey! What's with that scary face, fella? If ya leave here lookin' like that, you'll scare away potential customers and ruin our reputation! ...Wait. Hold up.

==Characteristics==

==Abilities==
  +
In the Fierce Deity form, Link gains greater strength and range in his attacks as well as certain new abilities. Because the Fierce Deity wields a large, [[Swords of Majora's Mask#Fierce Deity Sword|double-handed, helix-edged Sword]], he cannot use a [[Shield]], although this disadvantage is compensated for by the Sword's superior power. Link can also use the Sword to release [[Sword Beam]]s when [[Targeting System|targeting]] an enemy.
−
As enemies, Deku Scrubs tend to hide in grassy or flower shrubs, and pop out when provoked to spit a Deku Nut at their foes. When approached they will quickly retreat into their shrubs where they cannot be touched. In {{MM}}, they sometimes hide in [[Deku Flower]]s instead, which can be used after their defeat. While they cannot be harmed by direct combat, they are susceptible to long-range weapons, but can also be defeated by using a [[Shield]] to deflect their Deku Nuts back at them. When harmed, the Deku Scrub will be quick to surrender. This same strategy is also applied to the other variations of the Deku Scrub, including [[Business Scrub]]s and [[Mad Scrub]]s, which will jump out of their shrubs when first harmed.
  
   
  +
==Non-Canon Appearances==
−
Dekus can deal with water, but if they happen to venture in deep areas they will hop on the water to survive drowning. Like plants, too much water can hurt them. Luckily, Dekus are usually light enough to stand on [[Lily Pad]]s, granting safer travel over the swampy waters that the Dekus of Termina call home. In [[Deku Link|Deku form]], [[Link]] is able to skip across water, but cannot swim. Dekus are also highly flammable, and rightly so, as they are wood-based creatures.

[[File:OniLinkManga.png|thumb|right|200px|Fierce Deity Link in the ''Majora's Mask'' manga]]
  +
In the {{Manga|MM}}, Link receives the Fierce Deity's Mask from [[Majora's Mask (Object)|Majora]] and becomes Fierce Deity Link during his fight against it. In a flashback of Majora, it is revealed that while as a dragon, a mysterious man bearing a strong resemblance to the Fierce Deity in both appearance and clothing, had visited Majora. The man played music for the dragon, who danced for three days and three nights before dying. The man then carved the Majora's Mask from the creature's hide, hoping to seal its power. It is hinted in the story that the stranger is in fact a god, the first being that is able to overcome the beast of Majora, and that it does so with music that controls the flow of time.

Some Deku Scrubs in ''Majora's Mask'' also have propellers on their heads which allows for flight.

Fierce Deity Link appears as a [[Sticker]] in {{SSBB}}. He also appears as one of Link's alternative costumes in {{SSB4}}.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= - Fierce diety link IS in as a costume|author= Colin McIsaac|published= September 6, 2014|retrieved=September 6, 2014|url= http://www.gamnesia.com/news/a-megaton-of-smash-bros-info-wolf-deconfirmed-fierce-deity-link-is-an-alt#.VAs-Efl5OSo|title= A Megaton of Smash Bros.

Business Scrubs are Dekus that have taken to selling certain items, but they will only offer these items once Link defeats them. In ''Ocarina of Time'', Business Scrubs appear within the [[Lost Woods]] but are also common in many [[cave]]s and secret holes in the rest of [[Hyrule]]. While most of their deals are extortionate, some of them will offer important items such as a [[Piece of Heart]] or even the ability to carry more [[Deku Sticks]] or Deku Nuts.

In {{HW}}, Fierce Deity Link appears as part of [[Young Link]]'s Mask weapon type moveset. During [[Focus Spirit]], the youth can temporarily transform into the Fierce Deity to perform powerful attacks before reverting to his normal self, and includes all other bonuses characteristic to Focus Spirit. This form of Focus Spirit is unusual in that it lasts longer than any other Warrior's. While in Fierce Deity form, Young Link is able to shoot [[Sword Beam]]s with most of his swings, but generally shares all of his original form's moves. He can also use the {{It|Ocarina of Time}} to convert his [[Special Attack]] Gauge into more [[Magic Power|Magic]] to refill his [[Magic Meter]], thus extending his time in this form. Young Link's Focus Attack features him slicing the Moon in half, damaging enemies around him.
−
Mad Scrubs are a stronger and far more aggressive variation to the regular Deku Scrub. In ''Ocarina of Time'', they appear in the [[Sacred Forest Meadow]] when Link is young, and also in [[Kokiri Forest]] as an adult. In ''Majora's Mask'', they appear in the [[Deku Palace]] and [[Woodfall]]. Unlike regular Dekus, they attack in bursts, and will make no attempt to bargain with Link and can be destroyed in battle.

Fierce Deity Link also appears as an alternate costume for Link in the ''Majora's Mask'' DLC Pack.

Totem Dekus are a variation that appear exclusively in {{TFH}}. They are similar to ordinary Deku Scrubs, but commonly have segmented bodies that make them appear much taller, leaving their vulnerable heads out of reach. The [[Links]] can reach and attack them by forming a [[Totem]].

==Trivia==
  +
*The Fierce Deity form is popularly referred to as "{{wp|Oni (folklore)|Oni}} Link" within {{LZS|Series}} community. This is based on an incomplete translation of his Japanese name that incorporates the kanji for "fierce" (''Ki''), which can be read alone as {{Japanese|鬼|Oni}}.<!--This is just an incomplete translation of "Fierce Deity", as the kanji used for "Fierce" is the Kanji for "Oni".-->
⚫
===''Ocarina of Time''===
  
−
Deku Scrubs first appeared in {{OoT}}, where they primarily appear as enemies [[Inside the Deku Tree]] where they are subordinate to [[Gohma]].<ref>{{Cite|How did you know our secret?! How irritating! It's so annoying that I'm going to reveal the secret of Queen Gohma to you! In order to administer the coup de grace to Queen Gohma, strike with your sword while she's stunned. Oh, Queenie... Sorry about that!|Deku Scrub|OoT}}</ref> Here [[Link]] learns of his ability to deflect their nuts back at them with his shield for the first time. Unlike other enemies, once struck they will not be destroyed, and will run around in a panic. When Link approaches, they will plead for mercy and offer him some advice to progress through the dungeon.
  
   
  +
==Etymology==
−
A group of three Deku Scrubs appear prior to Gohma's room, guarding the doorway. Unlike previous Deku Scrubs, these enemies will become stunned when hit, and will not give up unless Link defeats them in the correct order, a secret revealed by Deku Scrub defeated previously in the dungeon. This can be remembered using the phrase "twenty-three is number one".<ref>{{Cite|Please forgive me, master! I'll never do it again! If you spare me, I'll teach you something cool. You will never beat my brothers up ahead unless you punish them in the proper order.The order is... 2 3 1 Twenty-three is number one! Do you think I'm a traitor?|Deku Scrub|OoT}}</ref> When Link beats them, they reveal to Link the strategy to use in order to defeat Gohma. In the {{MQ}} version of the game, the Deku Scrub that reveals the correct order is replaced by a [[Mad Scrub]], and the order to defeat the three Deku Scrubs is changed to 3 1 2. Link can only discover this new order by trial and error.
  
  +
The term "fierce deity," {{Japanese|鬼神|Kishin||3}}, is used to refer to several deities in the Shingon Buddhist pantheon, such as Bishamonten or the Myō-ō, who are fierce and wrathful toward the negative forces that work against humanity's enlightenment, but are benevolent and supportive of humanity. They are seen as deities that work to defeat evil, a quality which the Fierce Deity's Mask gives Link greater ability to achieve.

{{Names Table

Deku Scrubs also appear in the [[Lost Woods#Ocarina of Time|Lost Woods]], most notably in the [[Forest Stage]]. Here, a group of Deku Scrubs will judge the face of any visitor who stands on the stage, and reward them depending on what they think of it. This reward varies from [[Rupee]]s, nothing at all, or a hail of Deku Nuts. If Link visits with the correct [[Mask]], he will meet a large Deku Scrub who will offer him a greater reward. According to him, the [[Skull Mask]] looks like the Deku's sacred forest totem.<ref>{{Cite|All of the young Deku Scrub brothers agree...you look exactly like our sacred forest totem! As an offering from us, please accept these Deku Sticks. We will also enhance your carrying skills! Abracadabra! Alakazaaaam!|Deku Scrub|OoT}}</ref>

One normal Deku Scrub also appears in the Lost Woods making his home in the top of a tree from which hangs a small drum-like target. If Link hits the center of the target three times in a succession, he will be granted a larger [[Bullet Bag]].<ref>{{Cite|Cool! You're great! You scored three perfect bull's-eyes!

{{MM}} explores a different side of this species, in which there is a functioning society composed entirely of Deku Scrubs, known as the [[Deku Kingdom]]. They are situated in the [[Southern Swamp]] of [[Termina]] under [[Deku Royal Family|monarchical]] rule.<ref>{{Cite|This is the palace of the Deku Kingdom. Only those on official business may enter!|Deku Scrub|MM}}</ref> The Deku Royal Family is composed of a [[Deku King|King]] and a [[Deku Princess|Princess]], who are served by guards, yes-men, and a [[Deku Butler|butler]], whose [[Deku Butler's Son|son]] had died mysteriously prior to the game. The Deku of the swamp are also hinted to have a sophisticated [[Deku Elementary|education system]]. However, they are also wary of strangers, and if other Dekus try to enter without permission, they usually become enraged.<ref>{{Cite|Wait! Wait! Hang on! This is my private property.

The [[Skull Kid#Majora's Mask|Skull Kid]] also turns Link to a Deku Scrub at the beginning of the game. When Link was [[Song of Healing|healed]], he received the [[Deku Mask]].<ref>{{Cite|Fear not, for the magic has been sealed inside the mask.

When you remove it, you will return to normal.|Happy Mask Salesman|MM}}</ref> Link in his Deku form is able to perform spinning attacks, shoot Bubbles, perform a Deku Flower Jump and glide using spinning flowers, hop across water, and has the ability to retreat into a hardened nut-like shell for defensive purposes, but it is unclear if other Dekus share these abilities.

In the {{OoX}}, Deku Scrubs are scattered throughout [[Labrynna]] and [[Holodrum]]'s lands and caves. Most of them are non-violent Business Scrubs that trade freely with Link. Some sell staples such as [[Mystical Seeds]] and [[Bomb]]s, though most Business Scrubs sell Shields. The largest population of Deku Scrubs appears in a forest in western Labrynna in the past, appropriately named [[Deku Forest (Oracle of Ages)|Deku Forest]].

Of the two games, {{OoS}} is the only one to feature hostile Deku Scrubs. These Scrubs behave similarly to the ones in ''Ocarina of Time''; they shoot seeds at Link from afar and hide themselves when he approaches. Deflecting their seeds back at them with the shield will cause them to surrender, at which point they will offer Link helpful advice.<ref>{{Cite|I surrender! In return, I offer my advice!

There are also three friendly Deku Scrubs who have roles in [[sidequest]]s. One of them is located in the [[Lost Woods#Oracle of Seasons|Lost Woods]] and plays a role in the [[Oracle of Seasons Trading Sequence|''Oracle of Seasons'' trading sequence]]. After playing the [[Phonograph]] for it, it will tell Link how to find his "Secret Spot," where the final reward for the trading sequence, a greater [[Sword]], is located.<ref>{{Cite|Dee!

If temperatures rise as you go far to the west, you'll find it!|Deku Scrub|OoS}}</ref> In a [[Linked Game]] of {{OoA}}, a friendly Deku Scrub appears in Deku Forest. He can be heard singing a "secret" (the [[Linked Game/Secrets#Deku Secret|Deku Secret]]) called "Love the Seed," which is apparently quite popular among Dekus.<ref>{{Cite|Love, love the seed!

The Deku Scrubs of the ''Oracle'' series are unique in that they appear to be individualistic creatures, given that most of them remain distanced from one another and they are never seen to interact. In fact, the singing Deku Scrubs are the only ones that refer to others of their own kind. The supposedly popular Deku song, "Love the Seed," is the only indication that these Deku Scrubs share any form of culture. Only the friendly Dekus that are not Business Scrubs demonstrate musical inclination, however.

{{FSA}} features a group of Deku Scrubs living in the [[Lost Woods (Four Swords Adventures)|Lost Woods]] stage. They are similar in appearance to the Dekus of ''Majora's Mask''. These Deku Scrubs were awoken from their slumber by [[Ganon]] transforming the forest into the Lost Woods.<ref>{{Cite|Thanks to Ganon, we were awakened from our slumber!|Deku Scrub|FSA}}</ref> They look forward to the expansion of the Lost Woods to cover all the forests of Hyrule, at which point they can travel freely.<ref>{{Cite|Soon, Lord Ganon's power will change all of Hyrule's forests into Lost Woods!

Revision as of 11:12, 15 February 2016

Template:Character The Fierce Deity is one of the transformations Link turns into in Majora's Mask, achieved by wearing the Fierce Deity's Mask. This transforms him into a mysterious and powerful warrior resembling a Hylian. It is one of four mask transformations in the game.

Transformation

Link obtains the Fierce Deity Mask after he trades the twenty non-transforming masks to the four Moon Children Inside the Moon. The final child sitting by the tree will give Link the Fierce Deity Mask after noticing all his other masks are gone. Wearing this mask enables Link to transform into the Fierce Deity only during boss battles.

In Majora's Mask 3D, Link can also transform into the Fierce Deity inside the two Fishing Holes. If he attempts to leave when in Fierce Deity form, the Fishing Hole Man will keep the young hero from doing so, wondering how he got in there in the first place.[1]

Abilities

In the Fierce Deity form, Link gains greater strength and range in his attacks as well as certain new abilities. Because the Fierce Deity wields a large, double-handed, helix-edged Sword, he cannot use a Shield, although this disadvantage is compensated for by the Sword's superior power. Link can also use the Sword to release Sword Beams when targeting an enemy.

Fierce Deity Link in the Majora's Mask manga

In the Template:Manga, Link receives the Fierce Deity's Mask from Majora and becomes Fierce Deity Link during his fight against it. In a flashback of Majora, it is revealed that while as a dragon, a mysterious man bearing a strong resemblance to the Fierce Deity in both appearance and clothing, had visited Majora. The man played music for the dragon, who danced for three days and three nights before dying. The man then carved the Majora's Mask from the creature's hide, hoping to seal its power. It is hinted in the story that the stranger is in fact a god, the first being that is able to overcome the beast of Majora, and that it does so with music that controls the flow of time.

Super Smash Bros. Series

Fierce Deity Link appears as a Sticker in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He also appears as one of Link's alternative costumes in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.[2]

HW Young Link - Fierce Deity Form

Hyrule Warriors

In Hyrule Warriors, Fierce Deity Link appears as part of Young Link's Mask weapon type moveset. During Focus Spirit, the youth can temporarily transform into the Fierce Deity to perform powerful attacks before reverting to his normal self, and includes all other bonuses characteristic to Focus Spirit. This form of Focus Spirit is unusual in that it lasts longer than any other Warrior's. While in Fierce Deity form, Young Link is able to shoot Sword Beams with most of his swings, but generally shares all of his original form's moves. He can also use the Template:It to convert his Special Attack Gauge into more Magic to refill his Magic Meter, thus extending his time in this form. Young Link's Focus Attack features him slicing the Moon in half, damaging enemies around him.

Fierce Deity Link also appears as an alternate costume for Link in the Majora's Mask DLC Pack.

Trivia

  • The Fierce Deity form is popularly referred to as "Oni Link" within Template:LZS community. This is based on an incomplete translation of his Japanese name that incorporates the kanji for "fierce" (Ki), which can be read alone as Template:Japanese.

Etymology

The term "fierce deity," Template:Japanese, is used to refer to several deities in the Shingon Buddhist pantheon, such as Bishamonten or the Myō-ō, who are fierce and wrathful toward the negative forces that work against humanity's enlightenment, but are benevolent and supportive of humanity. They are seen as deities that work to defeat evil, a quality which the Fierce Deity's Mask gives Link greater ability to achieve.
