Link. Welcome. Thou have grown. Have I, the Great Deku Tree, been so cursed as to not notice such a passage of time? My vision clouded by the climate of evil that pervades the land?
[Guess it's a good thing your soul was split off in three different timelines so all versions of you are diminished by 2/3 and are subsequently easier to kill. To the point that hiding Link as he grows up isn't needed. Which means the Great Deku Tree served his purpose and he's fine with that.
This... He -- He has to be seeing things. Right? There's no possible way...]
... Great Deku Tree...?
[Maybe Link is a little bigger than when they saw each other last. He's had two adventures and saved two lands now, after all. So, after all that has happened, all the time that has passed, to stand before the Great Deku Tree again as a boy without a fairy...

[ Since... Hylian, as they unfortunately discovered later. ]

It's too surreal.]
