Marin was a young girl living in Mabe Village on Koholint Island. She discovered Link on the beach, after he was shipwrecked in Link's Awakening. She greatly resembles Princess Zelda.[1] She dreams of singing for people far away, over the ocean. She teaches Link the Ballad of the Wind Fish which he needs to awaken the Wind Fish.
Marin lives with her father Tarin. During one segment of the story Link accompanies Marin to Animal Village. Along the way the two go through a series of amusing misadventures, such as Marin falling on top of Link when they both go down a well and Marin picking up the trendy store owner with a grabbing claw. When Link hits a Cucco she also tells him off, calling him a 'bad boy' when he throws and breaks a jar.
Near the end of the game some monsters kidnapped Marin while she was singing to the Wind Fish egg and placed her on a rotting segment of the bridge crossing between the Tal Tal Mountains. Calling for help she admits to Link that she's afraid of heights. Using the Hookshot Link rescues her and for a brief moment she begins to admit something to him, but as she was about to confess her father, Tarin, calls and breaks the moment.
When the Wind Fish wakes up, the dream ends and everyone, including Marin, disappears.
Alternative Ending
If Link managed to complete his quest without dying, Marin can be seen at when the end credits are over. In the original game, a winged Marin could be seen flying across the screen. In the DX version, Marin's image appears in the sky and then slowly fades, revealing a seagull. Though it is unknown what this means, most people tend to interpret this as Marin getting her wish fullfilled and being turned into a seagull by the Wind Fish.
