|  The
Legend of Zelda - Link's Awakening
Story: Though you fulfilled the Hyrulian
prophecy of Legendary Hero and destroyed the evil tyrant
Ganon, the land of Hyrule enjoyed only a precarious peace.
"Who knows what threats may arise from Ganon's ashes?" the
restless people murmured as they knitted their brows and shook
their heads. Ever vigilant, you decided to journey away
from Hyrule on a quest for enlightenment, in search of wisdom
that would make you better able to withstand the next threat
to your homeland.
Months of difficult travel
passed. After a long and fruitful voyage, you breathed deeply
the sea spray from the deck of the ship. that carried you
home to Hyrule. But your homecoming was not to be. Suddenly a
squall struck your ship, and though you valiantly fought the waves,
a lightning bolt reduced your ship to splinters.
Your world faded black as
you sank into darknedd of storm-tossed sea with remains of your
craft. But in cold darkness of the deep, you heard a comforting
voice that reminded you of home. It was the voice of Princess
Zelda!
"You're going to be all
right!" the voice said. "What a relief!"
You opened your eyes
to find Princess Zelda standing over you - or was it?! Actually,
it turned out to be a woman named Marlin. She explained
that you had drifted with the wreckage of your ship to the shores
of Koholint Island. This mysterious island was unique for
the gigantic egg which crowned its central mountains. It
was said that a mythical creature, the Wind Fish, lay asleep inside
the egg.
You set out in search of your
sword and other gear that might have washed up on beach with you.
As you stood in the surf with your recovered sword, a strange
owl suddenly appeared and hooted this riddle:
"Awaken the Wind Fish
and all will be answered."
"What is the Wind Fish?"
you wonder... And what did its awakening portend? Your most mysterious
adventure yet, following the riddle of the Wind Fish through
the uncharted island of Koholint, is about to unfold. |
