Later, Link has now obtained all of the Eight Instruments of the Siren. The owl knows about her singing and the song of awakening that she always sings, wondering if she was trying to awake the dreamer, the Wind Fish. For a moment, she tries to tell Link something… but changes her mind. Eventually he finds Marin on the Tal Tal Mountain Range, and she is being attacked by monsters, but Link is able to save her. Link presses on and finds the remaining instruments. Link now faces a dilemma as to whether or not he should awaken the Wind Fish, but the owl reassures him and tells him to trust his feelings. On a wall with a depiction of the Wind Fish, the words read, “To the finder, the isle of Koholint is but an illusion… Human, monster, sea, sky… a scene on the lid of a sleeper’s eye… Awake the dreamer, and Koholint will vanish much like a bubble on a needle… Cast-away, you should know the truth!” When Link arrives there, he learns an awful truth about the island.

Sometime before obtaining the sixth instrument, the owl flies to Link, instructing him to go to the Southern Face Shrine. She decides to stay in Animal Village for a while, and Link finds the Angler Key in the desert. However, it’s not enough to awaken the walrus, and Marin goes with Link to the Animal Village to assist.

Afterwards, Link learns how to play the Ballad of the Wind Fish on his Ocarina, learning that it is a song of awakening.

She hopes that she can make this wish to the Wind Fish. He finds Marin at the beach, who explains her wish to be a seagull, that she might fly around the world and share her songs with many people. Link returns to Mabe Village, getting an Ocarina from the Dream Shrine. Yet one of the residents of the Animal Village tells Link that Marin and her beautiful voice can awaken those who hear it. The owl had advised him to venture into Yarna Desert for an important item that will aid him on his quest unfortunately, a large, sleeping walrus is blocking the path.

Now Link, still full of questions about the strange land he is now in, must journey through the rest of the island to find these mystical instruments.Īt one point in his journey, Link arrives in Animal Village. He also explains that Link must retrieve the remaining seven if he is to awaken the sleeping Wind Fish. Though not knowing what it is at first, the owl reappears and explains that this is one of the Eight Instruments of the Sirens. Link finds at the end a magical instrument, called the Full Moon Cello. Link does so, defeating several enemies and solving numerous puzzles to clear the dungeon. He eventually finds the Tail Key the owl reappears and informs him of Tail Cave, and the need to use that key to get inside. Left with nothing but a puzzling riddle, Link is forced to listen to the owl’s words and heads for the forest. The owl states that the Wind Fish must be awakened for Link to be able to leave the island, and tells Link that he needs to go into the woods to find a key before flying away. Suddenly a mysterious owl flies down to him, explaining that high on the mountaintops there is a giant egg, and inside that egg sleeps a being known as the Wind Fish. Searching the beaches of the island, Link eventually finds it by his shipwrecked boat. Link begins preparations to leave, and Tarin returns his shield, however his sword was nowhere to be found. Not knowing where he is, Marin and her father explain the island to him he had miraculously washed up on the shores of Koholint Island. From beyond the darkness, Link hears the voice of a girl and at first mistakes it for Princess Zelda’s. With nothing else that she can do, Marin gets Link back to her house in Mabe Village. She suddenly spots someone laying on the sands upon closer inspection, she finds an unconscious Link, trying to wake him to no avail. Later, on a faraway island, a young girl named Marin is walking along the shores of the island’s beach. Link tried to fight the strong currents of the waves, even going as far as to tie himself to the ship with some rope however, a bolt of lightning strikes the ship, and all goes dark. He completes his training after some time, and on his return trip to Hyrule, gets caught in a storm and the seas become rough. Feeling in need of training or enlightenment, he embarks on a journey, sailing across the ocean in a small boat.

Link, who had defeated Ganon and restored peace to Hyrule, had not long been basking in the tranquility before he became restless.
