But the question remains: Why is that the case? And how did you end up here, anyway? The premise of Link's Awakening, combined with the regular notes of surreality scattered everywhere around Koholint, renders the entire structure of the game suspect. You're forced to gather a number of instruments in this dream island in typical Zelda fashion, as they're the only way to wake the Wind Fish. All the directives don't quite make sense, and don't come from a clear narrative origin point. This is The Legend of Zelda, devoid of context. "It's all a dream" is hardly an original plot device, but it gives the entire game a unique tone, and allows it to be playful about itself. To wake the Wind Fish, and allow Link to return to the world he's familiar with, will be to undo this place and everyone in it. Here's the twist, for those of you who have managed to avoid it for this long: As you progress, you learn that Koholint Island, and all its inhabitants, are just a dream of the Wind Fish (which, in a predictably surreal revelation, is not technically a fish). What this lack of other meaningful changes means is that the best way to talk about the Link's Awakening remake is just to talk about Link's Awakening itself, which is fortunate, because there's a lot to discuss. The most significant change is the new visual style, a cutesy 2.5D look that has the appealing side effect of making the whole surreal world look like it was made out of plastic, as if Link and everyone else on Koholint is a toy and one wrong nudge of the game console could send them all tumbling to the carpet. It's almost verbatim identical to the original game, with a handful of small additions to the gameplay and setting. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (2019) is not very interesting to talk about as a remake.
Besides, that's why you're here, right? Right? In the forest, you find that Marin's father has turned into a raccoon after eating a magic toadstool, and it's the most normal thing you've seen all day. Why should you do this? Well, that's the only way to leave the island. After you find your sword, you meet an owl, who tells you to go to the forest to begin your quest to wake the Wind Fish at the top of the island, who currently resides in a giant egg.
