Mabe Village

At the start of Link's Awakening, Link wakes up in Mabe Village, a small and quiet village. The village includes a library, a shop, (which Link, with the help of his Pegasus Boots, can easily rob), a game parlor, where the locals can win prizes, including hearts and a Yoshi Doll. There is the home of a dog-loving woman who owns Bow-Wow. There is also the home of Marin and Tarin, where Link first wakes up. Other buildings include the house of Ulrira and his wife, the house of a family with a newborn baby, a Telephone Booth, and the Dream Shrine. Despite being a small village, Mabe Village is the largest settlement on Koholint.

The young boys in this village often give clues on the controls of the game, but do not know the meaning of what they are saying. The local library also contains hints, as well as the full map of Koholint Island.

In the center is a large statue of a cucco. Marin may teach Link the Ballad of the Wind Fish here or in Animal Village. Mabe Village is the sister city of the Animal Village.

To the north is the Fishing Hole where Link can fish for only 10 rupees. He can earn a Piece of Heart this way.

Mabe Village is south of the Mysterious Woods, west of the Ukuku Prairie, and north of the region called South of the Village.
