Link's ship is caught in a storm and wrecks on the shores of Koholint Island, where he washes ashore unconscious.
Link wakes up and meets Marin, who helps him explore the island and learn about the mysterious Wind Fish.
Link learns that to awaken the Wind Fish and leave the island, he must collect eight magical Instruments of the Sirens hidden in various dungeons around the island.
Link enters Tail Cave, the first dungeon, to retrieve the first instrument.
Link successfully completes all eight main dungeons scattered across Koholint Island, acquiring all eight instruments needed to awaken the Wind Fish.
With all eight instruments, Link plays the Ballad of the Wind Fish on the sacred altar, awakening the Wind Fish and revealing the true nature of Koholint Island as a dream.
Koholint Island disappears as the Wind Fish awakens, and Link finds himself awake on a boat, free from the dream world and able to continue his journey home.
