While on his way back from a journey of self discovery to make himself better fit to fight the evil which might threaten Hyrule in the future, Link got shipwrecked and ended up on this mystical island. The island was inhabited by many weird and funny looking creatures, but also people and characters which seemed awfully familiar, including Marin and Tarin.
After Link managed to awaken the sleeping Wind Fish that resided in a giant egg on top of the highest mountain of the island, the island seemed to disappear in the blue. To this day nobody knows for sure whether or not the island was a mere dream, and speculation includes theories that this was not even Link's dream, but the mighty Wind Fish's, thus when Link awoke the giant, the island disappeared forever.
Currency
Like Hyrule, Koholint's inhabitants rely on Rupees as a medium of exchange. Rupees can be found in all areas of the island. Trading one item for another seems to be perfectly acceptable among the inhabitants, as evidenced by the trading sequence.
Geography
Koholint Island is bound to the north by the Tal Tal Mountain Range, peaking at Mt. Tamaranch. The central Western area is comprised of mostly forested and grassy areas. A river separates the island's Eastern end, after a series of rapids flows from Tal Tal Heights and calms to flow to Martha's Bay in the Southern region. The Southern End of the island, Toronboro Shores matches Yarna desert with it's sandy surface and rocky cliffs.
