Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake's Most Heartwarming Change Makes One Goodbye Hurt Less

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is full of some incredibly deep and emotional moments, a handful of which even occur near the beginning of the game. In fact, one of the game's biggest moments happens once Link tries to leave his home in Kokiri Forest shortly after completing Ocarina of Time's first dungeon, Inside the Deku Tree. As he is leaving, he is stopped by who is perhaps his closest confidant and friend in the forest, Saria, who is deeply saddened by his departure. In a very touching moment, Saria explains that she knew he would have to leave the forest someday, but that it was okay, because they would be friends forever anyway. At that point, she gifts him a memento, the Fairy Ocarina, that she says she hopes will cause him to think of her and come visit her some time in the forest. However, regardless of how special that gift is, it would soon be replaced by the game's namesake, never to be seen again.
