After traveling abroad, Link returns to Hyrule but gets shipwrecked in a fierce storm. He wakes up on Koholint Island and is welcomed by Tarin, his daughter Marin who resembles Princess Zelda, and an owl that tells him he must awaken the Wind Fish to return home. To do so, Link needs to find and play the eight Instruments of the Sirens, whose guardians are the Nightmares of the Wind Fish. The bosses in Link's Awakening protect these instruments. When Link plays the Ballad of the Wind Fish with all eight instruments, he can enter the giant egg atop Tal Tal Mountains and confront the final Nightmare, which includes shadowy visions of foes from his past.
