Watching the moving platforms in the main room of the dungeon, I noticed that even the grass seems to wave from side to side - though there's no wind in the dungeon. The Forbidden Woods are as alive as the Deku Tree itself. And this has me wondering.
If The Wind Waker takes place after the hero is successful (initially) and all of the islands are somehow tied to Hyrule below, is it safe to say that the Forest Haven is really Kokiri Forest? After all, the Great Deku Tree itself says the Koroks (the spirits of the Forest Haven) were once in human form. Of course, I take that to mean that they were once the Kokiri.
Keeping all of that in mind, does that make the Forbidden Woods the Lost Woods? If so, then being flooded has definitely helped out the local flora, and made for the evolution of some fascinating bug life.
But to get back to those plant tentacles, the Forbidden Woods isn't the only place they're seen. There're also some on Bomb Island. So, Kokiri theorizing aside, there are two explanations for the tendrils. One, they're the appendages of some sort of sleeping plant Cthulid Ur-Goddess that are working to keep people from certain things; or, two, they're simply individual plants that have minute feelers above the ground that call up their larger forms whenever someone's about to step on them.
