Giving {{Term|LANS|Link}} directions in the form of riddles,<ref>{{Cite|Hoot! How many Instruments have you gotten so far? When you play the Instruments in front of the Egg, the Wind Fish will wake and you will leave this island. Now, you must hasten to the Yarna Desert! The dark, monstrous inhabitants of the sand will show you the way! Hoot Hoot!|Owl|LADX}}</ref> the {{Term|LANS|Owl}} sends him to various {{Plural|LANS|Dungeon|link}} of the isle to retrieve the {{Plural|LANS|Instrument of the Sirens|link}},<ref>{{Cite|Hoot! Take the key and go to the Tail Cave. Retrieve the Instrument that is hidden there! Go now! The Wind Fish is waiting! Hooot!|Owl|LADX}}</ref> which are all needed to awake the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}}.<ref name="Instrument">{{Cite|Hoooot! That is an {{Color|LANS Pink|Instrument of the Sirens}}! I have to admit, at first I did not believe you were real... That instrument, along with the seven others in the set, has the power to wake the {{Color|LANS Pink|Wind Fish}}! You must collect them all! I was instructed to give you directions... Your next goal is north, in {{Color|LANS Blue|Goponga Swamp}}! Hoot, indeed!|Owl|LANS}}</ref> The {{Term|LANS|Owl}} is also constantly reminding {{Term|LANS|Link}} that the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}} is watching his progress and awaits to be awakened.<ref>{{Cite|Hoot! Ho, brave lad, on your quest to wake the dreamer! Welcome to the Mysterious Forest! Much of mystery you will find on this uncharted Koholint island! I'm afraid you may find it a trifle difficult to leave the island while the {{Color|LANS Pink|Wind Fish}} naps. ...By the by, have you ever visited the {{Color|LANS Blue|Tail Cave}}, which is {{Color|LANS Pink|south of the village}}? Go there with the {{Color|LANS Pink|key}} you find in this forest... The {{Color|LANS Pink|Wind Fish}} is watching... Hoot!|Owl|LANS}}</ref>

After getting the fifth {{Term|LANS|Instrument of the Sirens}}, the {{Term|LANS|Owl}} will then instruct {{Term|LANS|Link}} to the {{Term|LANS|Southern Face Shrine|link}}, where ancient ruins speak of the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}}.<ref>{{Cite|Hoot! There are two shrines: one to the north, the other to the south. First, head {{Color|LANS Blue|south}}, where {{Color|LANS Pink|ancient ruins}} speak of the {{Color|LANS Pink|Wind Fish}}... You will learn much there...|Owl|LANS}}</ref> After defeating the {{Term|LANS|Armos Knight|link}} there, {{Term|LANS|Link}} discovers some writing and a drawing on the wall. The wall reveal that {{Term|LANS|Koholint Island}} is a dream of the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}} and by awakening him would make the island disappear. The wall depict a drawing of the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}} as well as the {{Term|LANS|Owl}}. The {{Term|LANS|Owl}} outside reassures {{Term|LANS|Link}} by telling him that no one is really sure whether the foretelling is true or not, and the only way to find out would be to awaken the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}}. The {{Term|LANS|Owl}} then tells {{Term|LANS|Link}} to trust his feelings and then flies off.<ref>{{Cite|Hoot! I see you have read the relief... While it does say the island is but a dream of the Wind Fish, no one is really sure... Just as you cannot know if a chest holds treasure until you open it, so you cannot tell if this is a dream until you awaken... The only one who knows for sure is the Wind Fish... Trust your feelings... Someday you will know for sure...|Owl|LADX}}</ref>

The {{Term|LANS|Owl}} is also quite aware of the "{{Term|LANS|Ballad of the Wind Fish|link}}", the song which needs to be played with the eight {{Plural|LANS|Instrument of the Sirens}} to awaken the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}}. After {{Term|LANS|Link}} completes {{Term|LANS|Eagle's Tower|link}}, he encounters {{Term|LANS|Marin|link}}, who often sings the "{{Term|LANS|Ballad of the Wind Fish}}" in the {{Term|LANS|Tal Tal Mountain Range|link}}. After saving her from some monsters, the {{Term|LANS|Owl}} thinks that she could have been trying to awaken the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}} with her song,<ref>{{Cite|Hoot! That girl sang her song in front of the Egg! Her 'Ballad of the Wind Fish' is a song of awakening! Did she actually intend to wake the Wind Fish?! The next Sirens' Instrument is in the west. Play your melodies so the unliving stones might hear! Show your courage! The Wind Fish waits for you! Hoot!|Owl|LADX}}</ref> which seems to be true as {{Term|LANS|Marin}} had revealed earlier her wish of becoming a {{Term|LANS|Seagull|link}} and hoped that the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}} would make her wish come true someday.<ref>{{Cite|They say the 'Ballad of the Wind Fish' is a song of awakening. I wonder, if the Wind Fish wakes up, will he make my wish come true?|Marin|LADX}}</ref>

After getting all of the {{Plural|LANS|Instrument of the Sirens}}, {{Term|LANS|Link}} goes in front of the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish's Egg|link}} and plays the "{{Term|LANS|Ballad of the Wind Fish}}" on the {{Plural|LANS|Instrument of the Sirens}}. By doing so, an opening cracks open in the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish's Egg}} and the {{Term|LANS|Owl}} flies down, telling {{Term|LANS|Link}} to go inside.<ref>{{Cite|The time has come... The Wind Fish awaits... Enter the Egg... Hoot! Hoot!|Owl|LADX}}</ref> After completing the maze and defeating the final {{Term|LANS|Nightmare|link}} inside, a stairway opens which takes {{Term|LANS|Link}} to the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}}'s room. There, the {{Term|LANS|Owl}} appears to {{Term|LANS|Link}} for the final time.<ref name="Wind Fish">{{Cite|Hoot! Young lad, I mean... Link , the hero! You have defeated the Nightmares! You have proven your wisdom, courage and power! ... ... ... ... As part of the Wind Fish's spirit, I am the guardian of his dream world... But one day, the Nightmares entered the dream and began wreaking havoc. Then you, Link , came to rescue the island... I have always trusted in your courage to turn back the Nightmares. Thank you, Link ... My work is done... The Wind Fish will wake soon. Good bye...Hoot!|Owl|LADX}}</ref> The {{Term|LANS|Owl}} then reveals that he was in fact part of the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}}'s spirit. As the spirit of the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}}, the {{Term|LANS|Owl}} was also the guardian of the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}}'s dream world.<ref name="Wind Fish"/> He also explains that {{Plural|LANS|Nightmare}} had invaded the dream world and had probably been the cause of the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}}'s inability to awake.<ref name="Wind Fish"/> As the {{Term|LANS|Wind Fish}} is about to awaken, the {{Term|LANS|Owl}} thanks {{Term|LANS|Link}} one last time and wishes him farewell before fading away.
