Stepping inside the mouth of the Great Deku Tree, Link hopes to lift an evil curse. Carving through Skulltulas and Deku Scrubs, Link eventually reaches the Parasitic Armored Arachnid, Queen Gohma.

Queen Gohma destroyed, the Great Deku Tree still dies, but not before bestowing the Kokiri Emerald to Link and pointing him towards Hyrule Castle and the Princess of Destiny.
