Kokiri Bandits

The Kokiri Bandits were a criminal group of Hylians who were the ancestors of the Kokiri.

First Golden Age
The Kokiri Bandits arose in the chaos that ruled the Kingdom of Hyrule following the Rise of Ganon, and occupied the abandoned outposts of the Kingdom of Hyrule's eastern expansion into the Faron and Kokiri Woods as bases from which to raid the surrounding countryside, For years they pillaged the frontiers of Hyrule and slaughtered the native wildlife of the forest, until the made the mistake of attacking the Deku Trees, who, under Kasuto's leadership, united the Wolfos, Deku Scrubs, and Huskus and destroyed the Bandits, slaughtering them to the last man and woman. Kasuto took pity on their children, however, and set about the experiment of evolving them past their base animal instincts- the Kokiri were born.
