LINK'S AWAKENING: STORY
 Though you fulfilled the Hylian prophecy of the
Legendary Hero and destroyed the evil tyrant
Ganon, the land of Hyrule enjoyed only a precarious
peace. "Who knows what threats may arise from
Ganon's ashes?" the restless people murmured as
they knitted their brows and shook their heads. Ever
vigilant, you decided to journey away from Hyrule
on a quest for enlightenment, in search of wisdom
that would make you better able to withstand the
next threat to your homeland.



Months of difficult travel passed. After a long
and fruitful voyage, you breathed deeply the sea
spray from the deck of the ship that carried you
home to Hyrule. But your homecoming was not to
be. Suddenly a squall struck your ship, and though
you valiantly fought the waves, a lightning bolt
reduced your ship to splinters.

Your world faded to black as you
sank into the darkness of the storm
-tossed sea with the remains of your
craft. But in the cold darkness of the
deep, you heard a comforting voice
that reminded you of home. It was
the voice of Princess Zelda!

"You're going to be all right!" the voice said. "What a relief!"



You opened your eyes to find Princess Zelda standing over you - or was it?! Actually, it turned out to be a woman named Marin. She explained that you had drifted with the wreckage of your ship to the shores of Koholint Island. This mysterious island was unique for the gigantic egg which crowned its central mountain. It was said that a mythical creature, the Wind Fish, lay asleep inside the egg.



You set out in search of your sword and other gear that might have washed up on the beach with you. As you stood in the surf with your recovered sword, a strange owl suddenly appeared and hooted this riddle:

"Awaken the Wind Fish and all will be answered."

"What is the Wind Fish?" you wonder...And what did its awakening portend? Your most mysterious adventure yet, following the riddle of the Wind Fish through the uncharted island of Koholint, is about to unfold.
