'''Martha''' is a mermaid from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. She resides in [[Martha's Bay]], tending to stay in the northwest corner. She is part of the game's [[Trading Sequence]].

When [[Link]] first meets Martha, she explains that she has lost her [[Mermaid's Necklace|necklace]] and wants to have it back.{{Ref|LA|467|Martha}} She also promises to give Link one of her [[Mermaid's Scale|scales]] if he finds it.

The [[Fisherman]] will fish up the necklace once Link returns his [[Fishing Hook]] to him.{{Ref|LA|465|In-Game Description}} Link can then bring it back to Martha, who allows him to dive and take one of her scales.{{Ref|LA|469|Martha}}{{Ref|LA|472|In-Game Description}} She warns him to take only one.{{Ref|LA|470|Martha}} The scale can be used to open the [[Mermaid Statue]] created by [[Schule Donavich]] in Martha's image.{{Ref|LA|271|In-Game Description}} She claims that when she posed for him, Schule wanted a scale as well.{{Ref|LA|473|Martha}} After Link replaces her scale in the statue, Martha will jump up out of the water a large rock in the bay whenever he comes near.

*In the Japanese version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', [[Martha]] lost her swimsuit top instead of her [[Mermaid's Necklace|necklace]]. This is why she only leaves the water after her necklace is returned to her. This is also the reason that she says that she has already looked around the area and then flees if [[Link]] dives under the water near her.{{Ref|LA|468|Martha}}
