A dream, Link thought. That's all it was.
Even then, weeks after the Wind Fish had awakened and Link returned to the (normal?) world, the realization was still shocking, turning his body numb. For a moment, the smell of salt would fill his nose and a sea breeze would rustle his hair. If he listened hard enough, a faint, beautiful voice would sing along the wind.
Link craved those moments, no matter how still his body went. For a moment, Marin would be beside him again. It was as if he could close his eyes and see her once more.
