===Main Plot=== | |||
[[File:Tal Tal Mountain Range Marin.png|200px|right|thumb|Marin trapped on a bridge in the Tal Tal Mountain Range]] | |||
Link can first visit the Tal Tal Mountain Range as soon as he has [[Roc's Feather]], but very little of the area beyond [[Mt. Tamaranch]] is available until he has the [[Power Bracelet]]. The first time his quest takes him there is while he is trying to reach the fourth dungeon, [[Angler's Tunnel]]. Without the [[Flippers]], the only way for Link to enter the dungeon is by jumping from the cliff in Tal Tal Mountain Range after the waterfall disperses.{{Ref|LA|220|Owl}} | |||
Later, Link comes here with the [[Flying Rooster]] to obtain the [[Bird Key]] inside of a cave. This lets him open Eagle's Tower, which is at the top of the mountain range. | |||
After he defeats [[Evil Eagle]] and emerges from the dungeon with the next [[Eight Instruments of the Sirens|Instrument of the Sirens]] and the [[Mirror Shield]], Link can head toward Turtle Rock. However, on the way he finds [[Marin]] stuck on a bridge thanks to monsters.{{Ref|LA|525|Marin}} Link can rescue her with the [[Hookshot]]. The [[Owl]] reveals that she had been attempting to awaken the [[Wind Fish]] with [[Ballad of the Wind Fish|her favorite song]].{{Ref|LA|226|Owl}} | |||
Finally, when Link completes Turtle Rock and obtains the final instrument, he hurries to the Wind Fish's Egg, which is found on Mt. Tamaranch.{{Ref|LA|278|[[Island Quadruplets|Island Quadruplet]]}} In there he fights The Shadow Nightmares and awakens the Wind Fish. | |||
