The Kokiri

in General
I like them as whimsical plant dorks, but them being eternal fairy children had a kind of uncanniness to it that I liked better.

    Semi-related: when I was a small child, I pronounced both Kokiri and Kakariko the same way. I pronounced them as "Keroki," which is totally wrong on both counts. 

    I was only around 4-5 or so, though, so I reckon I should get points for being able to actually read at that age, even if very imperfectly.

    Did they change into plant dorks in breath of the wild or something?

    OH, right, I forgot about that. They feel like two very separate races to me, in my mind. I rather like both interpretations for very different reasons.

    I'm with zia on this, but I also think the OG Kokiri definitely have some untapped eerieness potential nintendo could use for a future game.

    That scene during the trading quest where you go to give the guy his meds, and he's gone and there's just a little blonde girl telling you that the forest corrupted him and turned him into a stalfos is deeply unsettling in a way that N64 Zelda was pretty danged good at.

    I like the idea that the plant dorks are essentially non-corrupted stalfos.

    The Koroks were kind of half the same race, half an evolution of necessity.

    hello from the near future. that woman's skirt is made out of skin? holy shit?

    anyway i think the real appeal is the lost woods being 2spooky. the kokiri act like foreigners to the woods in that they think it's scary, rather than that they think it's normal (so that YOU think they're scary for not thinking it's scary wordswords)

    Ah yes, the Ruto anatomy skirt.  Which is even weirder in Majora's Mask where it seems to be an actual dress instead of that.
