The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* Okay, let's talk about the ending of ''Link's Awakening''. Why does the Wind Fish just ''leave Link behind''?! Link just went through loads of dangerous battles to save the Wind Fish from endless sleep, and had to cause [[Dream Apocalypse]] in the process... the Wind Fish even says that the island will continue to exist in Link's memories, so ''why not give him a ride home'' so he can ''tell people about it?!'' Stupid inconsiderate whale.

** Give the guy a break, he just woke up. Are ''you'' rational and intelligent when you wake up? The way I see it, Windfish is halfway to [presumably] Zora's Domain when he remembers he left The Hero out in the ocean, at which point he figures that if Link was gonna drown he woulda done so already, so too late to go back.

* Why does Marin want to be a seagull of all birds? Seagulls make horrible-sounding squawks, right?

** But the point is that they can fly across the sea, which is Marin's dream.

* We all know the infamous shopkeeper, who kills you with his super lightning spell, if you steal? Why isn't he the one saving the day? Couldn't he just walk into all the dungeons and fry every monster inside leaving the easy part?

** Because he's not real. Link is. So, apparently, is Prince Richard (although it could be argued that he is meant to be a reference to Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru, rather than a literal appearance by the character, in which case the above would not be true).

* Why did the developers remove the ability to skip the text from common dungeon items? (keys, compass)
