'''Catfish's Maw''' is the fifth dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', and the location of the [[Eight Instruments of the Sirens#Wind Marimba|Wind Marimba]]. The entrance of this dungeon, which looks like a giant blue catfish, is located within [[Martha's Bay]]. The main tool of this dungeon is the [[Hookshot]], which is originally located in a chest, but is stolen by the first mini-boss, [[Master Stalfos]], after his first battle with [[Link]]. It is only obtained after fighting him three more times. It is necessary to access certain rooms and needed to defeat the boss, [[Slime Eel]]. The second mini-boss of the dungeon is a pair of [[Gohma]]s.

==Trivia==
*Since Link needs the [[Flippers]] to swim and dive, it is possible for him to enter Catfish's Maw before clearing the dungeon before it, [[Angler's Tunnel]], by exiting the dungeon before defeating the [[Angler Fish]].
*The entrance to this dungeon is known as the [[Catfish#Link's Awakening|Catfish]], and resembles the giant Catfish who gives Link the [[Magic Medallions#Quake Medallion|Quake Medallion]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''.
*The [[Ocean Floor]] entrance above the surface in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'' is also shaped like a giant fish head.
*The Catfish's Maw concept may have had some influence upon the conception of the dungeons [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly]] and [[Jabu-Jabu's Belly]], where the idea was taken one step further by moving the action inside a living marine being.
*The entrance to this dungeon greatly resembles the entrance to the {{smw|Valley of Bowser}} from ''{{smw|Super Mario World}}'' (including the arrangement of stones surrounding each of the head-like entrances).
