I've just one little problem with this pic. SARIA IS IN THE WIND TEMPLE, NOT THE FOREST TEMPLE.

There's no forest temple, it's the WIND temple.

oh wow! It's so beautiful and moving.
*sighs* I just like to think that whatever fate befell Link, Saria is doing what she can to protect him and his remains  
So sad..... but in a nice way

that's kinda what i had in mind, like she lingers there in timeless grief or something, bound to protect him. while new heroes and sages arise. man thats sad, haha

Queen-Yarbo [2009-08-01 19:46:32 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha I just randomly picked this picture in your gallery and I was listening to the same music too. Crazy.

It makes sense for Saria to have some form of defense. Since she is sage of Forest she must have some control of the forest.

Mr-Mikey [2009-01-20 13:58:27 +0000 UTC]

I'm having a hard time with this pic, it seems like you can interpret it in so many ways... Like how Saria is reaching to Link's skeleton as if she want's to be close to him one more time, and how there's the Master Sword and the OoT, which says to me that he died with Saria seeing him off.

It's sad and touching.

PEACETHROUGHPOWER [2008-05-14 19:09:52 +0000 UTC]

My god.... This is so very beautiful but yet very sad as well.... Poor Saria and Link..... Every detail is perfect and this art is clearly saying that Saria will now take her silent Eternal Rest now alongside her closest friend and even through death of the Hero's form he shall never be vanquished in his spirit. Very beautiful and emotional art indeed ninai. I still love the pairing of Link and Saria since I love and support it and this art is a perfect one indeed for it shows of what such an end for both lovers Saria and Link would spend the end of their lives in the world that is Hyrule.... So very beautiful art yet sad at the same time....

Oh my... this is gorgeous! I love the detail, the lighting... I can almost see a story behind it. The vines are particularly neat, and it's an art that I can study for awhile. Wow, I wish there were versions for all the Sages...I definitely love the lighting, Saria's arm out, like she's waiting for the next Hero. Very wow!

Tounushi [2007-12-31 04:27:59 +0000 UTC]

Can't really read her expression there. Is she mourning for Link's death, our just callously aknowledgeing it? She seems... hollow.

And I can hear the music right now... I always hated the forest temple because of it's nauseating music. Very unsettling. At least it wasn't scary like the Shadow Temple. :S

Fyrelinx [2007-12-11 05:54:59 +0000 UTC]

No matter how many times i view this deviation, it still captivates me. It has a sort of...Unreal but yet real feeling that no other picture i've ever seen. I become curious to think what emotional and physical pain came to this. What is Saria feeling? Betrayed? Horrified?

Feels like a moment in the twilight zone or something <3

CorkontheRipple [2007-10-19 15:33:38 +0000 UTC]

I think that it is an absolutely beautiful piece. Your use of dark colors, as well as some rougher strokes, helps to set the mood for this piece. I especially like the uniqueness of the subject. Please correct me if I am mistaken, but is not the skeleton with the sword and shield Link? If so, you also did an excellent job capturing Sarai's reaction. It has the feel of one who has mourned ceaselessly for ages, while all around her, the world ages on.

Good work, all in all. ^_^

"Link! You have to shoot the paintings! When the portal opens, that's your chance!" Link brushed the fairy and bangs out of his eyes, then reached back to notch another arrow. As the phantom emerged again, Link let his arrow fly. At the last second, the horse in the painting turned back and rode towards the horizon. A second phantom burst from behind and trampled over him, sending a burst of energy across the floor.
"Give up, boy! You can't fight what isn't even real!"
"I won't... give up on her. I promised... I'd come back!" One more shot. He could do it with one more shot. The triforce burned into his hand lit up from the force of his resolve. He reached for his next arrow and...
it wasn't there. The quiver was empty.

Waking from her long slumber, Saria stirred in the phantom's grasp.
"I have no further need of you," it cackled. Numb and confused, she stumbled down to the edge of the broken landing outside the temple. The phantom pushed her roughly off the ledge and vanished back inside the temple. Picking herself up off the loose leaf litter, she was overcome by a feeling of loss. Hadn't something been calling to her? Deep in the temple, deep in her heart, her soul had been preparing to wake to something... and now it was silent. She trudged forwards to the old stump where she always played, and balked when her foot caught.

There was a body at her feet, impaled on a sword. The left hand had been cut off and was nowhere to be seen. This was the voice who had used her song, the friend she had taught to speak to her heart.
"You promised me. You said you would come back." He coughed and his fingers tightened around her boot. Her eyes flashed wide and she dropped to her knees beside him. "Link?"
"Back on the bridge... before I left. I wanted to tell you..." His eyes closed, and she stared motionless.
Sunset came, and she slowly rose. "I know," she whispered to the still air above his body, eyes unfocused and unseeing. All the searing pain had drained out by then, leaving only the crushing hollow ache. "I will never grow old... and I will never die. I'll keep waiting. I can wait forever for you to come back to me." She climbed atop her pedestal and closed her eyes for the last time, one last hushed breath echoing through the silent forest.
"I can wait forever."
