I don't know if this is in the original game, but I thought it was cool, if not super depressing.
After beating the Forest Temple, Saria is awakened as the forest sage. In your talks to her, she mentions that she can never return to the world she knew, and asks you to apologize to Mido. I went and talked to Mido, and he was sad, obviously, and chose to stay in the lost woods so he could keep listening to her song.
Honestly, that whole bit made me so sad. Saria, giving up her life and never getting to see her friends again. So I went back to the past and warped to the sacred grove. Sure enough, she was there. But, when I talked to her, she said this:
"What's wrong, Link? You're here visiting me, but you look so sad. I'm right here, you know? No need to act like that... As if we'll never see each other again."
Fucking hell, this game has been punching me in the emotions. I don't know if this was in the original, but regardless, it's good, sad writing.…
