Grandpa Ulrira is a shy old man who lives in [[Mabe Village]] on [[Koholint Island]]. If [[Link]] talks to him in his house, he will tell Link to speak to him through a telephone outside.<ref>{{Cite|Er...Uh...Hmm...How to say... Please call... Outside... ...|Ulrira|LA}}</ref> Wherever Link finds a [[Telephone Booth]] on the island, Ulrira gives him helpful hints on how to progress through the game. He is married to [[Grandma Ulrira]], a loud, cheerful old woman who spends her time sweeping the island with a broom.
Marin is a young girl who lives in [[Mabe Village]] with her father [[Tarin]] on [[Koholint Island]]. She saves [[Link]] when she discovers him on the [[Toronbo Shores]] after he was shipwrecked.<ref>{{Cite|Since you washed ashore, lots of nasty monsters have been in the area, so be careful, okay?|Marin|LA}}</ref><ref name="gender_washed"/> As she bears an uncanny resemblance to [[Princess Zelda]],<ref name= "Manual">{{Cite manual|quote= Marin bears an uncanny resemblance to Princess Zelda.

Ulrira seems to know everything about the island,<ref>{{Cite manual|quote=This old man is a walking encyclopedia of Koholint Island. He knows everything about the island! However, he is not very talkative and it can be difficult to get information out of him. His wife is the loud, old woman who loves sweeping the front of her house.|game= LA|page=29}}</ref> and often knows exactly what Link should do to progress in the game.<ref>{{Cite|BRRING! BRRING! Hello! It's me, Ulrira! Ask me anything about the island! If you get lost, give me a call! Bye! CLICK!|Ulrira|LA}}</ref>
After Link retrieves his [[Sword]] on the beach shore, Marin leaves her house and stands next to the weathercock singing the "Ballad of the Wind Fish." Later on, the path to the [[Yarna Desert]] is blocked off by a sleeping [[Walrus]]. Link learns from the animals in the [[Animal Village]] that the lazy Walrus is fond of Marin's singing.<ref>{{Cite|Yeah, I know, that tub of goo is asleep right in the way to Yarna Desert! Once he's asleep he won't budge for a loooooonng time. But hey! Take Little Marin and wake him up with her song!

I thought, this person has come to give us a message...|Marin|LA}}</ref> She goes on to say that if she were a [[seagull]], she would fly away from the island and sing for many people, wondering if her dream will come true if she wishes to the [[Wind Fish]].<ref>{{Cite|If I was a sea gull, I would fly as far as I could! I would fly to far away places and sing for many people! ...If I wish to the Wind Fish, I wonder if my dream will come true...|Marin|LA}}</ref> Shortly after, Marin declares that she wants to know everything about Link, but immediately laughs it off and agrees to go with Link to go see the Walrus.<ref>{{Cite|I want to know everything about you...Err...Uhh, Ha ha ha ha! Hunh? The walrus wants me to go to him? It doesn't matter, I will go with you to him...|Marin|LA}}</ref>

If Link approaches one of the windows outside Ulrira's House, the [[Photographer]] snaps a photo of Ulrira as seen through the window, revealing his talkative nature.
[[File:Scene-beach.jpg|thumb|right|260px|Marin finding Link in the Toronbo Shores after his shipwreck]]
 
 
For most of the game, she can be found singing the "[[Ballad of the Wind Fish]]" near the [[weathercock]].
 
 
Along the way, Marin and Link go through a series of misadventures, such as Marin falling on top of Link when they both go down a well and Marin picking up the [[Trendy Game]] shop owner with a grabbing claw.<ref>{{Cite|Wow! Link, can I try this?! What do you say?|Marin|LA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|You're good! You're a pro, aren't you? ... [...] Well, beat it! Pros aren't allowed in here!|Trendy Game Shop Owner|LA}}</ref> When Link hits a [[Cucco]], she also tells him off, and calls him a "bad boy" when he throws and breaks a [[pot]].<ref>{{Cite|Ahhh! Ahhh, you are a bad boy, Link!|Marin|LA}}</ref> If Link hits a Cucco too many times, Marin will change her attitude for a moment as if she is enjoying the moment.<ref>{{Cite|Ha ha ha! Do it! Do it! Do it moooore! ... ... Hunh? No, it's nothing... I didn't mean it.|Marin|LA}}</ref> Once Marin wakes up the Walrus with her singing, she goes to the Animal Village and stay there to sing for the animals.
 
 
Near the end of the game, some monsters kidnap Marin while she is singing to the Wind Fish egg and place her on a rotting segment of the bridge crossing between the [[Tal Tal Heights]]. Calling for help, she admits to Link that she is afraid of heights.<ref>{{Cite|Hey! Link ! Some monsters put me up here! What should I do?! I'm afraid of heights!!|Marin|LA}}</ref> Link rescues her using the [[Hookshot]] and, for a brief moment, she begins to admit something to him, but as she is about to confess, her father Tarin calls and breaks the moment.<ref>{{Cite|... ... Say... Link... Uhh... I don't know how to say this... but...|Marin|LA}}</ref>
 
 
After obtaining the [[Ocarina]], Link can speak to Marin to learn the "Ballad of the Wind Fish." If Link speaks to her again, she will thank him for all his help and tell he is the "kindest boy" she knows, revealing that she already made her wish to the Wind Fish but refuses to tell him what it was.<ref>{{Cite|Thank you for everything! Link , you are the kindest boy I know. One day I made a wish to the Wind Fish... What was the wish? It was... No, it's secret!|Marin|LA}}</ref> Marin also asks that Link always remember her and the "Ballad of the Wind Fish" when the time comes for him to leave the island, for if he were to forget, she would never forgive him.<ref>{{Cite|Link , some day you will leave this island... I just know it in my heart... ...Don't ever forget me... If you do, I'll never forgive you!|Marin|LA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Please, don't ever forget this song...or me...|Marin|LA}}</ref>
 
 
When the Wind Fish wakes up, the dream ends and everyone, including Marin, disappears. If Link manages to complete his quest without dying, Marin can be seen when the end credits are over. In the original game, a winged Marin can be seen flying across the screen. In {{LADX}}, Marin's image appears in the sky and then slowly fades, revealing a seagull.

*Ulrira's house is referred to as "Old Man Ulrira's House."
*If Link plays the "Ballad of the Wind Fish" while in the presence of Marin, she will critique him, commenting that it is not very good, then immediately pretend she did not say anything.<ref>{{Cite|Not very good... Eh? What? Did I say something? No, you're hearing things...|Marin|LA}}</ref>
 
  +
*If Link makes a call from the phone inside of Ulrira's house, it dials the number of someone calling himself the Bucket Mouse. After he hangs up, a message appears saying that Link must have dialed the wrong number.<ref>{{Cite|'BRRING! BRRING! BRRING! CLICK! Yeees! It's the Bucket Mouse! Thanks for calling! ...Well...

*Even though the official artwork and her ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' Trophy depicts her with a [[harp]], she is never seen with one in-game.
 
*In an {{OoT}} developer's interview posted on {{nw|Shigesato Itoi}}'s website, 1101.com, script writer Toru Osawa said that [[Talon]] and [[Malon]] from ''Ocarina of Time'' are based on Tarin and Marin. It was intended that players who have played ''Link's Awakening'' would recognize the reference.<ref name="father"/>
 
*In the character design notes for [[Aryll]] inside the [[Zelda Box|''Zelda'' Box]]'s book, [[Eiji Aonuma]] said that Aryll (アリル, ''Ariru'') was originally going to be named ''Mariru'' (マリル) to be similar to Marin (マリン) and Malon (マロン, ''Maron'') from ''Ocarina of Time''.<ref>[http://zeldawiki.org/File:Aryll_Character_Design_Notes.png Aryll design notes]</ref> As such, certain similarities between Aryll and Marin can be noted, such as their affinity for seagulls and the red hibiscus in Marin's hair that appears on a pattern on Aryll's dress.
 
*Marin will chastise Link for performing mischievous acts, but if he continues on, she will instead encourage him to continue doing so.<ref>{{Cite|Ha ha ha! Do it! Do it! Do it moooore! ... ... Hunh?

Marin's name could come from the Latin word marinus, meaning "of the sea".<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://www.behindthename.com/name/marinus |site= behindthename.com |title= Given Name MARINUS}}</ref> Marin's name resembles the word "marine," which is her French name.
