He was somewhat lazy and would often spend his time sleeping. It was he who assured Marin that there was nothing else in the world beyond the island. After [[Link]] crashed on the island and was discovered by Marin, Tarin gave him shelter in his home and held onto his shield until he woke up, then returning his shield to him as he introduced himself. |

In this form he would use his power to cause Link to become lost in the forest, although after being sprinkled with [[Magic Powder]] he would return to normal and return home to nap. Tarin had several other appearances in the game. During the trading sidequest, he could be found by a beehive and would ask to use Link's stick to shake the beehive. Tarin winds up being chased off by bees, while Link is able to claim the Honeycomb. Tarin also appears for the photo-op in front of the rooster statue in Koholint Village with Link and Marin. |
