Template:Character Martha is a character in Link's Awakening.[1]

Biography

Martha inhabits Martha's Bay on Koholint Island. Schule Donavitch made a statue of her called "The Mourning Mermaid,"[2][3] which is placed near Martha's Bay, although it is not complete.[4] She asks Link to retrieve her lost Necklace that was taken away by the waves.[5] When Link returns her the Necklace, Martha rewards him with one of her Scales.[6] Link can place the scale on The Mourning Mermaid statue to reveal a hidden passage where he can find the Magnifying Lens.

Trivia

  • In the Japanese, French, and German versions of the game, Link instead has to find her lost bikini top.[7] This was most likely deemed too racy and was changed in the American version.
