Right, this has been getting a bit confusing. according to zeldaelements.net Kokiri/Koroks become Skull Kids if they stay in the Lost Woods.

But according to one of the gossip stones, only non-Kokiri/Koroks become Skull Kids.

"if Kokiri go missing in the Lost Woods, they turn into Skull Kids"

"When non-fairy folk enter the Lost Woods, they become monsters!"

Navi also mentioned something along those lines.


Anyone want to shed some light on the subject?

(Also, the Kokiri are sometimes referred to as fairy-like people)
