The Yoshi doll , formerly formatted as Yoshi Doll , is the first item of the trading sequence in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening .
As its name directly states, the Yoshi doll is of a Yoshi . Link can win it as a prize from the Trendy Game , by moving the crane to the center (or to the middle-left in the Nintendo Switch remake). After winning the prize, Link can go to the Quadruplets House and give the Yoshi doll to Mamasha , who exchanges it for a Ribbon .

In the original version and the Game Boy Color port, the text for obtaining the Yoshi doll mentions that he seems to be appearing in several games ("You got a Yoshi Doll! Recently, he seems to be showing up in many games!"). In the Switch remake, it mentions Yoshi's large amount of game appearances, referencing several games that he appeared in between the release of the original game and the Switch remake ("You got a Yoshi doll! You can't count how many games you've seen him in now!").
