The story behind the Ballad of the Wind Fish#
The Ballad of the Wind Fish sits at the heart of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, the 1993 Game Boy chapter of the series. Within the story it is the song that wakes the Wind Fish and, with that, brings the dream island of Koholint to its end. Link learns and plays it on an ocarina, which makes it a fitting piece to carry back to the real instrument.
The melody climbs from a low C up to a high E, so most of the reach happens near the top of the six-hole range. Take the leap into that upper E gently and the rest of the tune stays smooth and easy to sing along with.
