'''A'''
In ''Link's Awakening'', [[Link (Legend of Zelda)|Link]] is the same Link from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. On a voyage at sea following the events of that game, he is in a wreck and washes up on the shore of the mysterious [[Koholint Island]], where he is saved by Marin. Here, he encounters a variety of characters, explores dungeons, battles creatures, and collects instruments which he uses to play a song for the Wind Fish who lives on top of the mountain. He is occasionally assisted by friendly creatures.

'''E'''

* Eleazar (''[[Twilight]]'' series)
* Lady Eshan (''[[Legacy of the Dark Kind]]'' series - ''[[Blood Tears]]'', ''[[Blood Lament]]'' etc by [[Raven Dane]])
'''F'''
As the game progresses, Marin teaches Link his first Ocarina song, "The Ballad of the Wind Fish", not to be confused with the song of the same name in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. At one point, she also follows Link about in order to help wake a sleeping walrus. This part of the game is notable for comical moments such as when the two fall down a well and when she grabs the operator of the trendy game using his mechanical crane. Later, she is kidnapped by monsters and stranded on a broken bridge. Link saves her using his hookshot.

In a secret reward ending, if a player completes the game without losing a life, Marin is granted her wish and becomes a seagull so that she can fly to distant lands and sing to bring joy to others, but only in the original version of the game, or when playing the DX version on an original GameBoy. The DX version carries a slightly different ending, containing a face-portrait of her, followed up by the original secret ending.
* Garan (''[[Legacy of the Dark Kind]]'' series - ''[[Blood Tears]]'', ''[[Blood Lament]]'' etc by [[Raven Dane]])
'''H'''

* Jasper Hale (''[[Twilight]]'' series)
* Rosalie Hale (''[[Twilight]]'' series)
* Heidi (''[[Twilight]]'' series)
'''I'''
Other characters who are somewhat similar to Marin are Malon from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' (in terms of appearance, name and singing abilities, Malon may have been based on Marin) and Aryll from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'' with her affinity towards seagulls.
*Irina (''[[Twilight]]'' series)

* Jaguar (''[[Midnight Predator]]'')
* James (''[[Twilight]]'' series)

'''K'''
== Tarin ==
*[[Carmilla Karnstein]]/Mircalla (''[[Carmilla]]'')
[[Image:Tarin2.jpg|right|thumb|Tarin.]]
* Kaleo (''[[Shattered Mirror]]'')
Tarin is the father of Marin. He has an uncanny resemblance to [[Mario]]. At the beginning of the game, Tarin gives [[Link (Legend of Zelda)|Link]] his [[shield]] when he wakes up from his state of temporary unconsciousness. He is often seen getting himself into wacky situations on his expeditions into [[Koholint Island]]'s [[forest]]s. Throughout the course of the game, he has a hallucinatory vision of himself as a mischievous [[raccoon]] who hides important items from [[Link (Legend of Zelda)|Link]] and later on gets stung by [[bee]]s while poking at their [[honeycomb]] with a [[branch|stick]]. He can sometimes be found in bed at his house in [[Mabe Village]] recuperating from these events shortly after they occur. Near the end of the game you see a scene of him holding yet another mushroom/toadstool, indicating that he certainly does not learn from his (mis)adventures.
* Katrina (''[[Twilight]]'' series)
'''L'''
A Tarin-like character appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' under the name Talon, father of Malon.
* Laurent (''[[Twilight]]'' series)
'''M'''
==Mr. Write==
* Marcus (''[[Twilight]]'' series)
Mr. Write is a scholar who lives in a house in the northern part of the Mysterious Forest. His appearance is inspired by the similarly-named Dr. Wright, a green-haired computer assistant who would sometimes appear in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''[[SimCity]]'' and ''[[SimCity 64]]'', who in turn is named after ''SimCity'' designer [[Will Wright]]. His name is also a pun on the phrase "Mr. Right."
* Vancha March (''[[Cirque du Freak]]'' series)
* Michel (Ethan Bryne) (''[[Companions of the Night]]'')
'''N'''
He also appeared in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' (although not named) and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'' featured a parody of him, Dr. Left.
* Nathaniel (''[[Midnight Predator]]'')
To add a comedic flair, Mr. Write writes a love letter to an unknown admirer whom he too "loves." She is actually Christine (a goat) from Animal Village and gives Mr. Write a picture of [[Princess Peach]] from the notable [[Mario series|''Mario'' series]]. He believes 'Peach' to be his admirer.
'''R'''
The music heard in both Mr. Write's and Christine's houses is Dr. Wright's theme.
* Christopher Ravena (''[[Shattered Mirror]]'')
* Nikolas Ravena (''[[Shattered Mirror]]'')
* Nissa Ravena (''[[Shattered Mirror]]'')
* Risika (''[[In the Forests of the Night]]'')
* Carlos Rivera (The Vampire Huntress Legends, books one through four, Minion, The Awakening, The Hunted, and The Bitten)
'''S'''
==Owl==
* Selene (''[[Underworld]]'' series)
[[Image:Zeldaowl.jpg|left|thumb|Owl.]]
* Simon (''[[The Silver Kiss]]'')
The wise talking owl arrives at certain points in the game to provides hints and backstory. He believes in a prophecy that says Link will wake the Wind Fish. Although he does not provide a name in this game, he would inspire an owl very similar to himself in the following ''Zelda ''game, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', named [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time characters#Kaepora Gaebora|Kaepora Gaebora]] (some fans believe both owls to be one and the same, but this hasn't been verified as canon). He explains the nature of the island and the nightmares and directs Link towards his ultimate goal, though Link never realizes the reason behind it. The owl is likely another part of the Wind Fish's subconscious, as he vanishes when the Wind Fish "awakens" in the dream.
* Darren Shan (''[[Cirque du Freak]]'' series)
* Darius Shan (''[[Cirque du Freak]]'' series)
* Sita (''[[The Last Vampire]]'' Series)
* Sivaya (''[[Legacy of the Dark Kind]]'' series) - ''[[Blood Tears]]'', ''[[Blood Lament]]'' etc by [[Raven Dane]])
* Alexander Sterling (''[[Vampire Kisses]]'' series)
'''T'''
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', the owl statues, which allow rapid transportation between locations using the Ocarina of Time, are inspired by Kaepora Gaebora, who occasionally carried Link rapidly from one place to another. Smaller owl statues featured in dungeon puzzles in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]''. In "[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]" and "[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]", Owl-statues hidden aroung the game world would pass information when Mystery Seeds were sprinkled on them.
* Tanya (''[[Twilight]]'' series)
'''V'''
==Madam MeowMeow and BowWow==
*[[Sir Francis Varney]] (''[[Varney the Vampire]]'')
Madam MeowMeow is a woman in Mabe Village who owns a dog. The dog BowWow, who bears a striking resemblance to the [[Chomp (Mario)|Chain Chomps]] found in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series, is kidnapped by the [[Moblin]]s of the Mysterious Forest, and Link rescues him. BowWow goes on to return the favor by eating the flowers blocking his entrance to the swamp dungeon.
* Victoria (''[[Twilight]]'' series)
* Sara Vida (end of ''[[Shattered Mirror]]'')
==Cinematic/Televised==
==Ulrira==
*[[Angel (Buffyverse)|Angel/Angelus]] (''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'')
Ulrira is the oldest resident of Mabe Village. Due to his shy nature, he can only be contacted from a telephone booth. Ulrira seems to know a bit about everything, and Link can get hints to proceed with the game by calling Ulrira from the various telephone booths on Koholint Island.
*Count Magnus Lee (''[[Vampire Hunter D]]'')
*[[D]] (''[[Vampire Hunter D]]'')
*David (''[[The Lost Boys]]'')
*[[Jerry Dandridge]] (''[[Fright Night]]'')
*[[Drusilla (Buffyverse)|Drusilla]] (''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'')
*[[Duckula]] (''[[Duckula]]'')
*[[Meir Link]] (''[[Vampire Hunter D]]'')
*[[Spike]] aka William the Bloody (''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'')
*Vlad Dracula (''[[Young Dracula]]'')
*Ingrid Dracula (''[[Young Dracula]]'')
*[[Darla]] (''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'')
==RichardComic book==
*[[Alucard]] (''[[Hellsing (manga)|Hellsing]]'')
[[Image:Richard_w.PNG|150px|right|thumb|Richard, as he appears in ''[[Kaeru No Tame Ni Kane Wa Naru]]''.]]
*[[Blade (comics)|Blade]] (''[[Tomb of Dracula]]'')
Richard is a prince who lives in a villa filled with frogs in Pothole Field. His appearance is inspired by himself in a Game Boy title only released in Japan, ''[[Kaeru No Tame Ni Kane Wa Naru]]'' (translated as ''For the Frog the Bell Tolls''). The music played in his villa is a remixed version of the Japanese title's main theme. "Kaeru" is Japanese for "Frog", which explains the frogs in his house.
*[[Cassidy (DC Comics)|Cassidy, Proinsias]] (''[[Preacher (comics)|Preacher]]'')
*[[Dreacon Frost|Frost, Deacon]] (''[[Tomb of Dracula]]'')
*[[Greenberg, Oscar]] (''[[Marvel Graphic Novel #20 - Greenberg the Vampire]]'')
*The Monk (''[[Detective Comics]]'' #31)
==Games==
When Link went to the gate of Kanalet Castle in the color version, the Camera Mouse and Richard both came to see him, while the Camera Mouse took a picture of Link and Richard striking their poses in front of the gate.
* Neclord (''[[Suikoden]], [[Suikoden 2]]'')
* Sierra (''[[Suikoden 2]]'')
[[Category:Lists of fictional characters by occupation|Vampires]]
In both versions, Richard made a deal with Link by allowing him to get the Slime Key after he retrieves Richard's Golden Leaves inside Kanalet Castle.

== '''The Wind Fish''' ==
[[Image:lachars.jpg|left|thumb|222px|Link & friends with The Wind Fish's Egg]]
The Wind Fish is a whale-like creature that sleeps in a giant egg nestled in the crater at the top of Koholint Island. When Link wakes the Wind Fish at the end of the game, the island vanishes, leaving Link floating in the sea and watching the Wind Fish fly away. The owl makes it clear that the island has disappeared because it was all the dream of the Wind Fish; once he is awoken, it ceases to exist.
An owl statue outside the [[Moblin]]'s Cave in ''Link's Awakening'' reads: "The Wind Fish in name only, for it is neither."
The Wind Fish makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', flying around on the Frozen Hills stage. It is also noted that ''[[Ocarina of Time]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[The Legend of Zelda series characters#Jabu-Jabu|Jabu-Jabu]] and ''[[The Wind Waker]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[The Legend of Zelda series characters#Jabun|Jabun]] are similar in appearance to the Wind Fish. Also, in ''[[Majora's Mask]]'', there is a song named "Ballad of the Wind Fish."
