Title: Kokiri means lumberjack!
Post by: Evilmanman on April 02, 2003, 11:30:18 PM
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

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....
