Wind Fish

The Wind Fish was a creature that slept in a giant egg nestled in the crater at the top of Koholint Island. After Link was stranded on the island he went to wake it up, and did so by playing the "The Ballad of the Wind Fish". The egg opened to reveal a whale with wings, and the island vanished, leaving Link floating in the sea and watching the Wind Fish fly away.

An owl on the island explained that the island has disappeared because it was all the dream of the Wind Fish; once he was awoken, it ceased to exist.

An owl statue outside the Moblin's Cave on the island also reads: "The Wind Fish in name only, for it is neither." The meaning of this is unknown.
