- In the Japanese version of Link's Awakening (Game Boy), the mermaid lost her swimsuit top instead of her necklace. This is why she only leaves the water after her necklace is returned to her. This is also the reason that she says that she has already looked around the area and then flees if Link dives under the water near her.[8]
