  • This is one of my favorite songs, The Ballad of the Wind Fish from the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. One of the many great songs composed by Kazumi Totaka. Thanks a lot to Adella from Adellacosplay.com/DeviantArt.com for the beautiful artwork titled Never Forget... Enjoi!

    Link's awakening (DX) was my first ever video game. While playing...I foolishly believed that Link would take Marin with him and they would live happily ever after.....Damn you nintendo, You gave me my first heartbreak.

      😭😭 It was my very first game as well, and you just reminded me of my first crush/love, Marin. Her disappearing forever, never to have existed at all, left a hole in my soul! I must have repressed it, but now it's coming back. MARIIIIIIN!

    because through out the game you create a bond with the characters on the island & find out that none of them are real including the character that really likes you, Marin. You are stuck in the windfish's dream your duty is to collect the 8 instruments on the island & play this song which will wake the windfish & when the it awakes the island and it's inhabitants all disappear, the children the animals everyone. Marin was the only one who knew that they all were just illusions in a dream world.

    We don't need a remake. This game is already on the Nintendo eShop. A remake of this game isn't necessary. I have it, and I love it just the way it is. It has one of the best Zelda stories, and it is probably the most mature, despite it being a GBC game. It's incredibly fun, and the ending is the most bittersweet Zelda ending ever, next to Ocarina of Time. Oh, and The Ballad of the Wind Fish might be the greatest Zelda song of all time.

    Legendary. The old gen games should never be forgotten. Not only do they have the best soundtracks/plot, they inspired us, they pushed us to try daring things in the industry. Today, games are just remakes of older versions with updated graphics. What happened to trying new things? The fear of not making a huge profit. Bring it back on track! If you want to remake something, make it Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time! The most influential game ever released. Show these ignorant kids how we played!
