The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is an action-adventure game with a top-down perspective.[2][3] Its story is set on Koholint Island, where Link, the player character, is stranded after his ship is caught up in a storm.[4][5][6] After being rescued by a girl named Marin, Link embarks on a quest to collect the eight instruments of the Sirens and awaken Koholint’s legendary Wind Fish in order to escape the island.[6] Similar to other games in the Zelda series, the player traverses an open world with dungeons scattered throughout, featuring puzzle-solving sections and boss fights,[7] along with trading sidequests.[8] In contrast to other top-down games in the series however, Link’s Awakening allows the player to jump over obstacles and onto platforms,[9] and also features side-scrolling platforming sections
