The Tree cuts her off, telling her that any message from her would sound better directly from her. The Great Deku Tree commends the strength of her dedication, and she asks him to relay a message to Link when he returns for the sword.

She tells the Tree that the Master Sword spoke to her, and that it seems her role is unfinished. Zelda stands, covered in mud, and the Great Deku Tree asks her what her plan is moving forward. Despite the apparent turmoil in the outside world, the Korok Forest is peaceful, and the Great Deku Tree is in bloom with pink flowers. Zelda tells the sword that its master will return for it, that despite the fact that Link's restorative rest in the Shrine of Resurrection will likely take his memories from him, she is confident that he will someday come to claim the sword once again. It is, unusually, battle worn, chipped, and spotted with rust. It begins with Zelda, speaking to the Sword as she lays it upon the pedestal in the Korok Forest. This memory is not Link's, as he is not present it appears to be Zelda's, or the Great Deku Tree's, or perhaps the memory belongs to the Master Sword itself.
