THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: LINK'S AWAKENING After defeating the evil Ganon, Link set out on a quest of enlightenment. He travelled to many lands, honing his skills and readying himself for if Ganon ever rose again. But on the journey home, there was a great storm, and Link's ship was struck by lightning. Link awoke on the beach of a tropical island, and he saw something peculiar. In the middle of the island was a large mountain, and at its peak sat a giant spotted egg. He was found by a girl called Marin, who took him to her house. When Link had recovered, he went down to the beach to retrieve his sword. There he met an owl. The owl told him that this world was the Windfish's dream, and he was in the dream. The Windfish lived in the egg on top of Tal Tal Mountains. The owl, who was the guardian of the dream, told Link that evil nightmares had invaded the Windfish's dream, and threatened to take over. Link was to collect the eight siren instruments, and then use them to enter the Windfish. Link collected all eight instruments from the nightmares inside the dungeons. Then he climbed Tal Tal Mountain until he reached the Windfish's egg. Then he played a song Marin had taught him. A hole opened up in the egg, and Link entered. After finding his way through the maze inside, he found the nightmares. He fought them all, one after the other, without stopping. Eventually he defeated them. There he was led up a staircase where he met the Windfish. After talking, he awoke on a piece of driftwood. It was as if he had never been on Koholint Island. But then, a great shadow passed over the sun. He looked up, and there was the Windfish, great and majestic, flying through the sky. |
