Martha's Bay is a large region of Koholint Island in Link's Awakening. It mainly consists of empty water areas where River Zoras, Buzz Blobs, and occasionally Bombers thrive. However, it also plays a crucial part in the Trading Sequence, and it is the location of the fifth dungeon. It is named after the mermaid Martha, who can be found in the northwest corner of the bay.
