<section begin="featured" />'''Marin''' is a character who appears in the game ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]''. She is the daughter of [[Tarin]] and lives in [[Mabe Village]] on [[Koholint Island]]. Marin is a girl with a mischievous side who likes to sing the [[Ballad of the Wind Fish]] and enjoys staring at the ocean.{{Ref|LA|280|Island Quadruplet}}{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: Encyclopedia]]''|'''Marin'''<br/>A girl who loves to sing and nurses Link back to health after he is washed ashore.

Once Link awakens the Wind Fish, Koholint Island and everyone in it, including Marin, turn out to be a dream.{{Ref|LA|229|Wind Fish}} However, if the game is completed without a single death, in the end cutscene, Marin makes a special appearance. 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 (2019)|2019 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.

Marin is a character in ''[[Hyrule Warriors]]''. She is unlocked by purchasing the ''Link's Awakening'' DLC pack in ''Hyrule Warriors'' and ''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]'',{{Ref|https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/713902200120979460|Just announced! Marin from Link’s Awakening will be available in the 2nd #HyruleWarriorsLegends DLC for #3DS + #WiiU|Nintendo of America on Twitter}} or can be unlocked by completing square E-3 of the Koholint Island Map in [[Adventure Mode]] in ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition]]''. She uses the water-element [[Bell (Hyrule Warriors)|Bell]] as a weapon, which allows her to use music and waves of water to attack her enemies. In some of her combos and special attacks, she summons the Wind Fish, and she can be heard singing the Ballad of the Wind Fish when she leaves Focus Spirit early. She is weak to lightning-element damage.

*[[Marin]] is extremely similar to [[Malon]] in both name and appearance. They both possess red hair, love to sing, and have a strong affinity for animals. Their fathers, [[Tarin]] and [[Talon]], also have similar names. ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia|Hyrule Historia]]'' suggests that Marin and Tarin may be the product of [[Link]]'s memories of Talon and Malon.{{Ref|name=Malon}}

*Interestingly, much of [[Marin]]'s artwork depicts her with a lyre, although she is never seen using one in game.

*If ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' is completed without a single death, [[Marin]] appears during the ending, with her wish to become a seagull and fly away seemingly fulfilled. In the [[Game Boy]] version, she is seen with wings and flies across the screen. In the [[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX|DX version]], her image appears momentarily and then fades into the silhouette of a seagull flying.

*[[Malin Bay]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' is likely named after [[Marin]], due to "Malin" being a possible romanization of her Japanese name.
