Every Zelda: Link's Awakening

Link awakens confused, on Koholint Island under the care of Marin and Tarin. Tarin returns Link's shield (which has his name on the back), and Marin suggests he check the beach where he apparently washed up, with the caveat that monsters have been seen around recently.

Link finds his sword and is greeted by a mysterious owl. The owl tells him he must "wake the Wind Fish" to leave the island and that he should head to the mysterious forest to the north. At the forest, the owl tells him to find a key there and then head to Tail Cave, south of the village. In the forest, a mischevious racoon fucks with Link getting him lost in the forest. He deals with this by finding a toadstool and having a witch grind it into magic powder, which he blasts into the raccoon's sensitive nose. The raccoon turns back into Tarin, who apparently ate a bad mushroom. After that Link is able to grab the key and head to Tail Cave.

After finishing the dungeon, Link finds the Full Moon Cello. The owl informs him that it is one of a total of 8 "Instruments of the Sirens", and he needs to find the rest. The next one is apparently in a swamp to the north, so we head there.

Passing back through the village, it’s in uproar because moblins have kidnapped bowwow, a chain chimp kept as a pet in the village (btw this game has a bunch of conspicuous Mario references for whatever reason). Link persues.

Link storms the moblin hideout and rescues bowwow. He takes him to the swamp where bowwow obligingly eats plants that would otherwise make it impassable. He finds the entrance to the next dungeon, Bottle Grotto. After clearing it he finds the conch horn, the next instrument, and a hint that the next destination is the Prarie.

Link meets a man named Richard who says he's been evicted from the castle. He asks Link to retrieve the 5 golden leaves there. To get into the castle, Link engages in a short trading quest to get bananas, and then gives them to a monkey who constructs a bridge for him, which leads to a passage into the grounds. Inside, Link finds the 5 golden leaves largely by murdering the inhabitants and wildlife. Taking them back to Richard, he's rewarded by being allowed into Pothole Field, where he finds the Slime Key. This unlocks Key Cavern, the third dungeon. Clearing that gets the Sea Lily's Bell and a hint pointing at a waterfall. The owl however says to go to the desert.

A couple of stop offs that I did at this point: the Colour Dungeon which is optional, rewarding an upgraded tunic. And going to the Dream Shrine in the village to retrieve an Ocarina, and learn a "The Ballad of the Wind Fish" from Marin, which definitely seems like it will be relevant at some point.

Link travels across to the animal village which is outside the desert, but a sleeping walrus is blocking the path. Link enlists Marin back at the beach and brings her to sing to the walrus, waking it and shifting out of the way. Marin stays to sing to the villagers, while link finds the anglers key in the desert. (This took me a while to figure out as I was trying to use the ocarina with marins song to solve this puzzle which produces no effect at all)

The Angler's Key fits into a lock in the mountains which switches off a waterfall, allowing access to the waterlogged Angler's Tunnel dungeon. Finishing that gets us the Surf Harp (and the ability to swim).

Link swims into the bay at the south of the island and finds the entrance to Catfish's Maw, the next dungeon. At the end we get the Wind Marimba and a clue that the next instrument is at a shrine.

We get a key from a mini dungeon, then head to the Face Shrine. At the end the boss warns that waking the wind fish will destroy the whole island and everyone on it, but he goes down and we obtain the Coral Triangle.

We make a somewhat obscure diversion to learn an ocarina song that can raise the dead(?!). We then move the town weather vane and find the grave of a rooster. Raising that from the dead, he becomes a companion we can use to fly over large pits. We head to the mountain and find the Bird Key in a cave (behind some large pits). We then head to the north east of the mountain range, and use the key to unlock the next dungeon, Eagle's Tower. Completing the tower we find the Organ of Evening Calm.

Powering pretty much straight on to the next dungeon, Turtle Rock, Link awakens it with the resurrection song and fights the turtle head before entering. Inside we find the final instrument: the Thunder Drum.

After a quick stop off to get a code from the village library, Link heads to the Wind Fish egg on the top of Mt. Tamaranth. He plays the Ocarina + the 8 instruments and a hole appears. He goes in and fights the final boss manifestation of nightmares. Then the Wind Fish (a giant psychadelic flying whale) appears and tells Link it's time to awaken.

Link wakes up on a raft at sea, it was all a dream. The Wind Fish then flies overhead and credits roll.
