Plot
Template:Spoiler The plot of the Link's Awakening Manga is very similar to the game boy version, albeit going deeper and making Link easier to relate to. After the first dungeon, Link is met by the Owl, who sends Felicia to assist him and look after him, storing the instruments Link finds as light until he needs them again. Initially seeing Felicia as a pain due to her cheeky nature, Link proceeds to tease her and show off his abilities whenever he can. After the second dungeon, Link obtains the Ocarina from Madam MeowMeow as a thank-you for Bow-Wow's return. Following this, Link encounters Marin at the beach, who expresses her desire to visit her friends at Animal Village.
