[edit] Story
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
On his quest to retrieve the sixth Instrument of the Sirens, Link comes across some strange ruins. He defeats the Armos found in the area and eventually makes it through to a small shrine. Inside the shrine, Link is confronted by an Armos Knight — Link defeats this huge foe, who leaves behind the Face Key. A door opens to the north, and inside this room, Link finds a mural of the Wind Fish and the Owl. The mural states that whomever wakes the Wind Fish from his slumber also "ends the dream", which in this case is Koholint Island. Upon exiting the shrine, the Owl appears before Link and confirms that the mural is true and that if he awakens the Wind Fish, Koholint will disappear. Despite this, Link continues on to the Face Shrine dungeon.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
