Template:Song The "Ballad of the Wind Fish" is a recurring song in the Zelda series. It first appeared in Link's Awakening where it played a major role in the game. It later reappeared in Majora's Mask, although the song is vastly different.
Appearances
Link's Awakening
The "Ballad of the Wind Fish" in Link's Awakening is also known as the "song of awakening",[1][2] 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, which is used to open the Wind Fish's Egg after acquiring all Eight Instruments of the Sirens. The song is also used to wake Walrus when blocking the entrance to Yarna Desert. It is later revealed that Koholint Island is just a dream by the Wind Fish, so awakening him will make the island disappear. 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" plays a major role in Link's Awakening, and can be heard multiple times on certain occasions. In the opening scene when Link gets shipwrecked, some notes of the song can be heard playing in the background, and again when Marin discovers him unconscious on Toronbo Shores. 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.
Majora's Mask
In Majora's Mask, the "Ballad of the Wind Fish" is a popular song played by The Indigo-Go's.[3] The song is vastly different from its appearance in Link's Awakening.
Each part of the song is played by one of Link's transformations. While in the Milk Bar, Toto, the band manager for the Indigo-Go's, asks Link to play the song as a sound check.[4] 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.
