    Overview

    Tarin is the father of Marin in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. A man fond of collecting mushrooms, his appearance inspired Talon, owner of the Lon Lon Ranch in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, just as Marin served as inspiration for Malon. Tarin's own appearance is inspired by Mario, particularly with the shape of his nose, his mustache, and his fondness for mushrooms.

    Tarin is first encountered early in the game when Link awakens in Marin and Tarin's house, where Tarin returns his shield to him. However, he subsequently becomes involved in a series of misadventures. In the Mysterious Woods, he eats a toadstool and is transformed into a raccoon as a result. After Link restores him to normal, he is later seen in Ukuku Prairie near a beehive, and asks Link for a stick to knock the hive down. However, upon doing so, he is chased away by a swarm of angry bees.

    At the end of the game, Tarin is last seen in the Mysterious Woods, once again collecting mushrooms as the dream world of Koholint Island fades away.
