Template:Song The "Ballad of the Wind Fish" is a recurring song in The Legend of Zelda series.[1]
Overview
Link's Awakening
The "Ballad of the Wind Fish" is also known as a song of awakening in Link's Awakening,[2][3] for it has the ability to awaken sleeping people. A girl named Marin, who lives in Mabe Village of Koholint Island, can be seen in the village's square singing the song. When Link obtains the Ocarina, Marin will teach him the song. The "Ballad of the Wind Fish" is used to wake Walrus blocking the entrance to the Yarna Desert. It is also used to open the Wind Fish's Egg after acquiring all Instrument of the Sirens. After defeating the Shadow Nightmares, Link plays the "Ballad of the Wind Fish" to awaken the Wind Fish, making the island disappear.
The "Ballad of the Wind Fish" can be heard multiple times on certain occasions. In the opening scene of the game, some notes of the song can be heard playing in the background. Part of the song also plays when Link acquires any of the Eight Instruments of the Sirens. A remixed version of the song is used as the Southern Face Shrine theme. The song also plays during the final scene, the credits, the secret ending, and the game over screen.
Lyrics
Although the "Ballad of the Wind Fish" does not feature lyrics in Link's Awakening itself, the Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch trailers feature lyrics in both English and Japanese.
- Sleepers wake
- Dreams will fade
- Although we cling fast
- Was it real?
- What we saw?
- I believe
- Lost in dreams
- We sleep on
- Tossing and turning
- Stay with me
Majora's Mask
The "Ballad of the Wind Fish" is a popular song by The Indigo-Go's in Majora's Mask.[4] It is vastly different from the "Ballad of the Wind Fish" in Link's Awakening.

Gorman, who also sits in the Milk Bar, becomes nostalgic upon hearing the song and, as thanks for playing it, rewards Link with the Troupe Leader's Mask.
