I was in my Japanese class today and decided to look up kokiri, (from OoT) and almost laughed when I read woodcutter.
maybe it's because in Link to the past there are two lumberjacks near kokirir forest. I haven't played the two Zelda games before it, are there kokiri forests in them?

That's "Kikori."

Not the forests but a race named that, that lived in the forest. (Though I think they changed the spelling when it came to the US to address the last person.)

On this official page about the Japanese version of Ocarina of Time, it's spelled 'kokiri.' And it's in katakana. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/zelda/index.html

iv heard this other places..indeed the word kokiri is derived from kikori. Its a play on words...nintendo does it all the time.

There's no Kokiri Forest near the lumberjack's in A Link to the Past...in fact there is no Kokiri Forest in any game except for Ocarina of Time....

i mean iv heard it on many websites and whatnot and as i said nintendo likes to play with words....olimar mario backwords......i think i heard in an interview with miyamoto him talking about how he got it or at least how his team came up with it.
