The Ballad of the Wind Fish is a song from Link's Awakening. The song is heard several times over the course of the game, especially from Marin. It is known as a song of awakening.[1]

Link's Awakening

The first time the Ballad of the Wind Fish can be heard is from Marin, who sings the song to Link in Mabe Village next to the weathercock on many occasions.[2][3] Later, Link and Marin both go to Animal Village to awaken the Walrus blocking the path to Yarna Desert with this song. Marin then stays in the village to sing the Ballad of the Wind Fish to all of the animals there. The animals appear to be completely enraptured by her singing, and they will go into a trance-like state.[4][5] Later, Link meets Marin in the Tal Tal Mountain Range and is informed by the Owl that Marin attempted to sing the song to the Wind Fish and make a wish.[6]

After Link finds the Ocarina in the Dream Shrine, Marin asks Link to accompany her while she sings the song next time she speaks to him in Mabe or Animal Village.[7] This allows Link to then play the Ballad of the Wind Fish anywhere on his ocarina.[8]

After getting all of the Eight Instruments of the Sirens, Link uses them to play this song in front of the Wind Fish's Egg on Mt. Tamaranch to open a path into the egg itself.[9] Finally, upon defeating the Shadow Nightmares, Link plays the Ballad of the Wind Fish, causing both himself and the Wind Fish to awaken from their dream of Koholint Island and forcing the island and all of its inhabitants to disappear.[10]
