The Trendy Gamester is a character in Link's Awakening.[2]

Biography

The Trendy Gamester runs the Trendy Game in Mabe Village. For a fee of 10 Rupees, he will let Link play a single round where he may earn one of the shop's prizes. The Trendy Gamester will also give Link a short instruction on how to operate the Trendy Game's Crane.[3]

If Link brings Marin to the Trendy Game, she will ask to play a round, which Link will pay for. However, she grabs the Trendy Gamester with the Crane instead. The Trendy Gamester compliments Marin on her expertise, but then angrily demands that she and Link leave.[4]
