Marin

A young girl living in Mabe Village on Koholint Island. She discoveres Link on the beach, after he is shipwrecked in Link's Awakening. She greatly resembles Princess Zelda. She dreams of singing for people far away, over the ocean. She teaches Link the Ballad of the Wind Fish which he needs to awaken the Wind Fish. Marin lives alone in Mabe Village with her father Tarin. During one segment of the story Link accompanies Marin to the Animal Village along the way the two go through a series of amusing misadventures, such as Marin falling on top of Link when they both go down a well, Marin picking up the trendy store owner with a grabbing machine, Marin tell's Link off when he hits a Cucco.

"No! No! Don't do that! Poor Cucco."

If Link manages to complete his quest without dying, Marin is saved when Koholint Island disappears, turning into a seagull so that she may travel to far away lands and sing her songs.

Marin and Tarin share a number of similarities with Malon and Talon in Ocarina of Time (the next game in the series), and are therefore believed to form the basis for these characters.
