Marin is quite a helpful character in The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. After rescuing Link in the game's introductory sequence, she'll also save the day later on when she helps awaken a sleeping walrus for Link. As players progress beyond this point, Marin will eventually find herself in need of a little rescuing of her own. Unfortunately, it looks like many have found Marin hard to find at this point, so here's how to find Marin after the Animal Village in Link's Awakening.
Marin is quite fond of singing in the game, with Nintendo lore also depicting her as being a talented harpist. Once she's helped players get beyond the walrus, she'll progress to Animal Village in order to entertain the local animals with her candid singing. By this point in the game, Marin will have expressed her wish to try to awaken the Wind Fish with her voice to see if it would agree to turn her into a seagull. As it turns out, that's exactly what she tries to do, but she gets kidnapped by a group of monsters en route.
By this point of the game, Marin can be found in some distress on a rotting bridge in Tal Tal Heights, the same region where gamers will have rescued Bow Wow after the first dungeon. Once Link has reached the bridges, Marin can be seen in need of help on one of the rotting bridges. To rescue her, use the HookShot and you'll be able to repay Marin for helping you get beyond the walrus (and, you know, just being a good person in general).
For those hoping to keep track of Marin's whereabouts throughout the game, she starts off in Mabe Village after rescuing Link during the game's introduction. Once players encounter the walrus and need someone to awaken it, she can be found on the eastern beach. She'll then head to Animal Village after waking the walrus, and can then be found on the aforementioned bridge at Tal Tal Heights where she was left by a group of monsters.
Marin appeared in the original Link's Awakening, where she became one of the franchise's first significant female characters: after all, without Marin, there's no telling what could have happened after Link washed up on that beach. After finding herself in a precarious position on the bridge, she also becomes one of many friendly people that Link helps along the course of his adventures. It's rumored that the developers originally implied that there was something between the two, but neither the original Link's Awakening nor its remake explores this possibility. She's just a good-natured girl who likes to sing, and both her and Link end up rescuing one-another as Nintendo's latest Zelda title plays out.
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is available now on the Nintendo Switch.
