The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: locations
Explore key places and landmarks.
Koholint Island
The isolated island contains villages, forests, swamps, mountain paths, and eight instrument dungeons. The enormous Wind Fish's Egg overlooks its northern heights.
Mabe Village
Link begins his recovery in this southwestern settlement. Marin, Tarin, shops, a library, fishing, and the Trendy Game make it a useful early hub.
Mysterious Forest
The woodland north of Mabe Village holds the Tail Key and a troublesome raccoon. A toadstool and the Witch's Magic Powder help open the route.
Toronbo Shores
The southern beach is where Marin discovers the shipwrecked Link. Return here to recover his Sword and begin following the Owl's advice.
Wind Fish's Egg
A gigantic spotted egg crowns Mount Tamaranch in the island's north. The Owl identifies it as the sleeping Wind Fish's home and Link's eventual destination.
