## [](#story-of-the-legend-of-zelda-links-awakening)Story of The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
Link is shipwrecked on the mysterious Koholint Island. To return home, he must face a nightmarish new enemy and solve the riddle of the Wind Fish.
Help Link search for the eight Instruments of the Sirens, collecting items like the Pegasus Boots and Hook Shot, traversing challenging dungeons, and battling deadly bosses.
Oh boy I can not wait to play this one again but on the Nintendo Switch!
