Well, this left me rather depressed... I think this might deserve to go in the 'Tragedy of Long LIfe' pool but I'm not sure, as it might just be me getting that feeling.
It's ambiguous enough, I think. Although Saria's expression in the last panel suggests she's either taking a philosophical approach to her loss, or she just got over it quickly... which is kinda depressing, actually, if you think about it.
