Analysis: Fourth in The Legend of Zelda series, also was created by the Nintendo head Miyamotoさん. This game is the first Zelda game for a handheld-console. Zelda is put to an un-natural sleep, and Link has to go over the sea, to the eastern part of Hyrule. During your quest over the sea, you get ship-wrecked on the island of Kolohint. While on the island, you once again have to show the hero inside of yourself by helping the inhabitants of Kolohint to wake the Wind Fish. Waking the Wind Fish, makes Link's memories from that quest a big blur, and you never really know for sure if it was just a dream. Its a good game, if you don't have this game you should get it.

Prologue:
Though you fulfilled the Hyrulian prophecy of the Legendary Hero and
destroyed the evil tyrant Ganon, the land of Hyrule enjoyed only a
precarious peace. "Who know's what threats may arise from Ganon's
ashes?" the restless people murmured as they knitted their brows and
shook their heads. Ever vigilant, you decided to journey away from
Hyrule on a quest for englightenment, in search of wisdom that would
make you better able to withstand the next threat to your homeland.
Months of difficult travel passed. After a long and fruitful voyage,
you breathed deeply the sea spray from the deck of the ship that
carried you home to Hyrule. But your homecoming was not to be. Suddenly
a squall struck your ship, and though you valiantly fought the waves, a
lightning bolt reduced your ship to splinters.
Your world faded black as you sank into the darkness of the
storm-tossed sea with the remains of your craft. But in the cold
darkness of the deep, you heard a comforting voice that reminded you of
home. It was the voice of Princess Zelda!
"You're going to be alright!" the voice said. "What a relief!"
You opened your eyes to find Princess Zelda standing over you - or was
it?! Actually, it turned out to be a woman named Marin. She explained
that you had drifted with the wreckage of your ship to the shores of
Koholint Island. This mysterious island was unique for the gigantic egg
which crowned its central mountain. It was said that a mythical
creature, the Wind Fish, lay asleep inside the egg.
You set out in search of your sword and other gear that might have
washed up on the beach with you. As you stood in the surf with your
recovered sword, a strange owl suddenly appeared and hooted this riddle:
"Awaken the Wind Fish and all will be answered."
"What is the Wind Fish?" you wonder... And what did its awakening
portend? Your most mysterious adventure yet, following the riddle of
the Wind Fish through the uncharted island of Koholint, is about to
unfold.
