Mermaid's Scale

The Mermaid's Scale is a quest item in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. It is part of the trading quest for the Magnifying Lens. The mermaid just north of Catfish's Maw in Martha's Bay has promised a scale from her tail to anyone who brings her Necklace back. When Link gives her the necklace, she allows him to take a scale. The scale in turn can be used to move the Mermaid Statue on the shore of the bay and obtain the Magnifying Lens in the cave the statue is sealing off.
