What happened to the Deku's?

[MasterKeyX]

This may be a spoiler if you haven't actually played TP yet, so be warned..

Anyway, did anyone notice that there were no Deku's anywhere in TP? I mean, they haven't been in any Zelda games recently? I wonder what happened to them?

Anyone have any ideas?

Dekus only appear in MC, OoT and MM which are in chronlogical order, this could mean they dissapear, if you consider the split timeline theory none of the games in hyrule B have dekus (well I don't really know if they appear in Oracles)

[Commodore Axilon]

Unless you think TMC was in Hyrule B.

[wiizard]

I think it was the first game before OoT and the timeline splits after OoT so it isn't in hyrule A or B it happened before

[Commodore Axilon]

If you believe it came before OoT. That's not a given. I, for one, don't.

[wiizard]

well is just my form of seeing the timeline of zelda and as it isn't a definitive one, everyone has it's own thinking.

I think they're merely laying low- they appear in enough games spread out over my personal timeline (see signature) to make me think they don't really work to stay in Hyrulean society, but pop up every once in a while.

(well I don't really know if they appear in Oracles)

They do appear in OoS.  I can't really remember if they were in OoA, but in the past there was a Deku Forest.

They also appear in FSA! That game is probably the second most important appearance of Deku Scrubs.

Anyway, it seems to me Deku Scrubs, being plants, capable of flying (small distances?) and a race that appears to be able to do well in lots of different areas, have a rather good chance of surviving. I doubt they are "gone/dead" in any game.

Unfortunantly, the a  very cold winer hit Hyrule and all the Dekus had to be chopped up by the Hylian Lumber Yard and used as fire wood.

lol well that seems very possible.

[Mysterious F.]

Mabye the game designers got sick of them?

[DW]

maybe they got sick of their friends making fun of them for having Deku toys, saying they were playing with wood

[MasterKeyX]

  This is not what i expected to become of this topic

[DW]

you are right, I'm sorry. I'll go get the soap
