Marty

Marty is the protagonist (but not main character) of Link's Awakening. He is young, intrepid, and strongly resembles an elf.

The game's story begins with Marty being washed ashore on the island of Koholint, where he is found by Marin. From there he sets out on a quest to find the eight Instruments of the Sirens to wake the sleeping Wind Fish, which is the only way for him to escape the island.

Determining Marty's personality is not easy as he never speaks. However, in MeccaPrime's playthrough Marty is distinguished by an interest in burning things, an antipathy to chickens and old ladies, and a general unwillingness to play by the rules.

Marty can apparently carry an entire hardware's store worth of equipment in his pants, but his only other noteworthy ability is ocarina-playing.
