In the original game, she is seen flying across the screen with a pair of wings. In the DX version and [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Nintendo Switch remake]], her face briefly appears in the sky, before fading away into the outline of a seagull. This likely refers to the conversation that Link had with Marin on the beach, where she wished she could become a seagull to fly away from Koholint. | ||
