Complete Guide for Zelda DX

Warning! This guide may spoil your gameplay. Don't read this unless you're ready for a few (or even a lot of) spoilers.

This is the unofficial guide to Zelda: Link's Awakening. It contains everything you need to know to complete the adventure, but reading it will spoil the fun of finding out what to do by yourself. If you're sure you want to do this, read on...

The Background

What has happened?

Link, our hero, has fought the terrible Ganon and saved the day for Hyrule, just like his ancestor before him. However, Link knows that the peace won't last forever so he begins a journey to gather knowledge and experience from all the corners of the world.

On his way home, his ship enters a storm and sinks after a while in the middle of the sea. Fortunately, he is washed up upon a strange shore where a girl named Marin finds him.

The Gameplay

What must Link do?

When Link recovers, he lies in a bed in Marin's house. Her father is there also and they tell you where you are. When looking for more washed up stuff, an owl appears and starts talking to you.

He seems to know how to get off the island and tells you to wake the Wind Fish, a sleeping fish of legend resting inside a gigant egg. During Links adventure, the owl reappears frequently to aid him in his quest.

The Island

What kind of island is it?

In reality, Koholint Island is a dream, dreamt by the Wind Fish. When Link enters the dream/island it is threatened by nightmares who want to rule the island and keep the Wind Fish sleeping forever. These nightmares are the different bosses of the game.
