Dethl will die if you shoot him in the eye with the arrow once and then the boomerang.

The Wind Fish

Once the Nightmare is dealt with, the Wind Fish will awaken. He will then tell you that Koholint Island was all a big dream, and when the raft carrying Link got struck by lightning, he fell into a deep sleep. Using the Eight Instruments Link gathered and playing the Ballad of the Wind Fish, Link and the Wind Fish finally awaken. Link awakens on a piece of his former raft and watches as the Wind Fish flies from overhead. The dream island of Koholint would only remain in his dreams.
