'''''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening''''' is the fourth installment of ''[[The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series and the first handheld title in the series. It was released for the [[Game Boy]] in 1993. The game was later ported to the [[Game Boy Color]] in 1998 with the title ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX]]'', which was released on a dual-format black cartridge allowing it to also be playable on original Game Boy units like the original version. A two-volume manga based on the game was released in Japan in 1994.

''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'' is a departure from the main storyline involving [[Princess Zelda]], [[Ganon]], and the [[Triforce]]. It takes place after the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''. Instead of taking place in [[Hyrule]], the game is set on [[Koholint Island]], where [[Link]] is stranded on. To leave the island, Link goes on an adventure to retrieve the [[Instruments of the Sirens]] and awaken the [[Wind Fish]].

In February 2019, a Nintendo Direct revealed that a [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] of ''Link's Awakening'' was under development for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It released worldwide on September 20, 2019.

==Plot==
[[File:Link in a storm LA opening.png|thumb|left|Link enduring a sea storm in the opening intro]]
After [[Link]]'s defeat of [[Ganon]] in ''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past'', peace was restored in Hyrule, though many were precarious and wondered of potential threats arising from Ganon's ashes. In response, Link left [[Hyrule]] and journeyed to foreign lands to strengthen his skills and wits in case a possible threat would occur. After months of training, Link felt ready to return to Hyrule, so he got on a small boat and traveled back.<ref>''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'' instruction booklet, page 4.</ref><ref>''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'' Player's Guide, page 8.</ref>

As Link goes seafaring in the [[Great Hyrulean Sea]], he gets caught in a big sea storm. A bolt of lightning strikes the boat, causing it to break and sink underwater. Link unconsciously drifts away at the sea, and washes up onto the shore of [[Koholint Island]] along with the ship wreckage. Link is found by a young woman, who struggles to wake him up, so she takes him to her [[Marin and Tarin's House|home]] to recover.
[[File:Owl introduction LA screenshot.png|thumb|An owl briefly explains the Wind Fish to Link]]
Link wakes up on a bed inside her house, located in [[Mabe Village]]. From the young woman's voice, he mistakenly believes her to be [[Princess Zelda]], so the young woman, named [[Marin]], introduces herself and tells Link that he is on Koholint Island. She states that many monsters have appeared on Koholint Island where he was washed ashore. Link goes to talk to her father, [[Tarin]], who gives him back his [[Shield]] that he found.

Following Marin's instruction, Link goes to the beach, named [[Toronbo Shores]], and finds his [[sword]] stuck in a beach. Just before obtaining his sword, Link is encountered by an [[owl]], who tells him that he cannot leave the island unless he awakens the [[Wind Fish]]. The owl mentions that the monsters are more violent for this reason. The owl flies off to the [[Mysterious Forest]] and waits there for Link.

Upon entering the Mysterious Forest, Link is greeted again by the owl, who instructs him to retrieve the key to unlock the first dungeon, [[Tail Cave]]. Link manages to obtain the key, and he enters the Tail Cave. At the end of the cave, Link gets in a boss fight with [[Moldorm (boss)|Moldorm]]. After defeating the boss, Link goes into the room above and obtains the [[Full Moon Cello]], the first of the [[Instrument of the Sirens]]. The owl appears again and explains to Link that the cello and the seven other Instruments of the Sirens are required to awaken the Wind Fish.

Later, during his search for the sixth instrument, Link enters the [[Ancient Ruins]], which has a mural stating that Koholint Island is a dream world created by the Wind Fish, and that the island would permanently disappear if he woke up. After reading it, Link encounters the owl another time, who tells Link that the mural is only a rumor and that only the Wind Fish knows whether it is true. Throughout Koholint Island, the [[Nightmare]]s attempt to take control of the Wind Fish's dream world, and try to stop Link from waking up the Wind Fish.
[[File:Shadow Lanmola nightmare battle LA.png|thumb|left|Link battling the Lanmola form of the final boss, the Shadows]]
After a long journey, Link obtains the eighth and final instrument, the [[Thunder Drum]], in [[Turtle Rock]]. He returns to the [[Wind Fish's Egg]], located in the center of [[Tal Tal Mountain]] range, and plays the [[Ballad of the Wind Fish]] with his [[Ocarina]] and the eight Instruments of the Sirens. By doing so, a hole cracks open in the Wind Fish's Egg, and Link enters inside. After traveling through a maze, Link falls into an enclosed chamber. Here he engages in a final battle against the [[Shadow]]s and their six forms, most of whom are bosses from earlier ''The Legend of Zelda'' titles. Its final form is DethI, a one-eyed, two-tentacled creature.
[[File:Wind Fish wakes up LA.png|thumb|The awakened Wind Fish explains his dream to Link in the ending]]
Link manages to defeat the Shadows, causing a long ladder to appear before him. Link climbs to the top and stands on a platform overseeing a starry, black sky. The owl appears to him one last time, revealing himself as part of the Wind Fish's spirit and the guardian of the dream world. He congratulates Link for defeating the Nightmares and his courage in overcoming them. The owl flies away and the Wind Fish appears to Link, and confirms that they are in a dream world. Link plays the Ballad of the Wind Fish a last time, causing him and the Wind Fish to wake up, and the entire Koholint Island to vanish. The dream ends with Link being taken outside by an upward stream of water.

Link wakes up in the middle of the sea, holding on driftwood from the shipwreck. Link hears the Wind Fish's wail and smiles as he watches the Wind Fish slowly moving overhead in the skies. Link's adventure ends with him sitting on driftwood and gazing at the sky.

The game has a perfect ending if Link does not lose a life. After the end credits, a short scene shows [[Marin]], with her acquired wings, flying around the "The End" text. It is unknown if she managed to escape from the Wind Fish's dream.
