Festival in the Woods

For ’s music festival calendar contest. (This contest was incredibly fun, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the full compiled calendar.)

This festival celebrates the life of new Deku Trees. When island Koroks successfully raise their Deku Trees to fruit-bearing age, each Korok takes one seed from his tree and brings it back to the Forest Haven. These seeds are then released into the healing streams of the Forest Haven, in sacrificial tribute to the water that originally gave each tree life. The seeds float down the river and scatter into the Great Sea, and rousing music is played to commemorate the completion of the life cycle.
