VARYING CONTRASTS
The game's contrast is very important.
If you have high contrast, dark things
are very dark, and light things are
very light. If you have low contrast,
dark and light objects aren't easy to
distinguishand everything becomes
muddled. It can be hard to tell the
good guys from the bad! To make
sure you're always shooting at the
right characters, don't select similar
colors for the screen. Four shades of

The colors you choose should not only

the section of the game you're on, too.

LINK'S AWAKENING™

he ballad of
TTHE WINDFISH
After many risky adventures in his

homeland of Hyrule (found in the

NES & Super NES games), the young
Link has taken to his sailboat to find
adventure in new and exotic lands.
As Link sails the high seas, a storm
brews, and the churning ocean toss-

es his ship onto a distant shore, leav-

ing Link unconscious. He is soon
caught up in a bizarre dream in

which he is rescued by friendly

islanders who advise him to escape.
For Link, the biggest adventure of his
life has just begun.

JINK'S MISSION

In order to escape his dream, Link

must wake the Wind Fish with a
secret melody: The Ballad of the
Wind Fish. This song's power comes
from the instruments used to play it:

the eight musical instruments of the

Sirens. Link has to find the instru-
ments, and a few other things, if he
ever hopes to regain consciousness.
