Moveset

Normals
Jab	Sea Bell Bash			Damage 4% 6.2% (Gohei) 3.2% (Rapid Jab)
Marin takes her Sea Bell out. She swings her bell forward once followed by a return swing. She then heaves it down in a comical fashion as it clangs and chimes back and forth, with everyone within the sound of her bell taking damage. This last part can be infinitely pulled off as long as the player keeps mashing A.
Dash	Pegasus Boot Bell Dash			Damage 10%
While running with her Pegasus Boots, the Bell has a blade of water coming out of it. She stabs forward with the Bell, nearly falling over. She has the Pegasus Boots equipped in this Attack.
Forward Tilt	Sea Bell Swing			Damage 6%
Marin swings forward with her Bell diagonally, the Bell is emitting water.
Up Tilt	Hookshot Catch			Damage 16%
Marin takes the Hookshot, which is specifically modelled after the Switch version of Link’s Awakening's Hookshot, and throws it vertically above her with quite the pouted face, with the maximum reach being quite shorter than that of Joker's Hookshot. If the Hook hits someone, it grabs the opponent, and as Marin pulls them down full-force, they get dragged towards below Marin and get slammed onto the ground. The opponent gets launched above her with low ending lag and knockback, making it a reliable combo starter. This does not work as a tether recovery. If Marin misses this move, she gets faced with quite the endlag, as she still has to pull the hookshot to her.
Down Tilt	Animal Kick			Damage 4%
Marin crouches and performs a kneeling low-level roundhouse kick with her Pegasus Boots equipped. It is Marin’s fastest tilt attack, though it mostly serves as a fast safe poke.
Smash Attacks
Forward Smash	Magical Rod Blast			Damage: 13% 29% 6% 9%
Marin takes out the Magical Rod item and fires a powerful short-range explosion of purple fire from it. As she charges up the attack, she seems a bit worried as she's not accustomed to using the weapon in battle, and is a bit scared of what could come out of it. Strong, but has noticeable ending lag, so despite it being a disjointed hitbox, it is not as safe as one would assume. This is one of her most reliable KO options. The design of the Magical Rod primarily takes inspiration from its design in the Link's Awakening remake, although being a bit longer.
Up Smash	Magic Powder Blast			Damage: 2% 4% 18.4% 27.9%
Marin takes a bag of magical powder and spreads it in an arc above her head. The powder itself may not seem much but once it makes contact with an opponent, it catches fire and creates a large explosion! The unique effect of this attack is that it causes the entirety of the powder to explode. Given its wide arc trail, an opponent who is hit by the explosion from the front can almost instantaneously be hit by the attack from behind Marin.
Down Smash	Smash Wave			Damage: 5% 10% 16% 20.9%
Marin Slams her bell towards the ground, which summons a medium-sized splash of water right in front of her. Both her bell and the splash contain hitboxes, and it is very possible to get hit by both simultaneously, and in that case the damage of the splash would be the one that would apply.
Aerial Attacks
Neutral Aerial	Ocean Twist			Damage: 9%
Marin Twirls elegantly in the air with water emanating from her. If the player chooses so, Marin can hop forward and perform this again to pull off a juggle
Forward Aerial	Air Bell Slam			Damage 6%
Marin releases her anger by using all of her force to swing her bell downwards in front of her. This causes a Meteor Smash if the opponent is hit at the tip of her Sea Bell. The startup is somewhat slow, similar to that of Mario’s F-Air.
Back Aerial	Surf Kick			Damage 4% 13% (tipper)
Marin kicks behind her. This kick is infused with water, while being equipped with the Pegasus Boots, with waves emanating around her leg. It has a slight tipper on the end of her foot.
Up Aerial	Air Bell Swing			Damage 6%
Marin Swings the Bell upwards in an arc motion. The bell is emitting water in an elegant manner. This causes 6% damage with medium knockback. Juggling the opoonent by jumping and performing the move again is possible.
Down Aerial	Air Bell Pop			Damage 12%
Marin, with her Sea Bell, puts a bubble right beneath her that instantly pops, and due to the sheer pressure escaping from the Bell, Marin floats slightly, giving her a bit more reach. While having the reach, it has some endlag, making it not very safe if it’s missed.
Throws
Grab	Syrf Harp			Damage 0%
Marin uses her Surf Harp to create a splash of water on the ground that pushes the opponent towards her, which then ensnares the opponent, allowing Marin to continue with pummels and throws. The Surf Harp she uses is based on the one from the Link's Awakening remake.
Pummel	Surf's Harp Melody			Damage 1.3%
While still equipped with her harp, Marin strums the strings, which strengthens the waves, lightly damaging the opponent.
Forward Throw	Wave Throw			Damage 9%
Marin plays all strings on her harp, which commands the waves to engulf the opponent and throw them forward. Although the knockback is on the weaker side, it is optimal for combos as Marin can perform any aerial attack to follow up with it, as the enemy gets launched in a slight curve.
Back Throw	Surf Glissando			Damage 10%
Marin plays a backwards Glissando on her harp, following through with her arm ending up behind her. The waves follow the motion of her arm and match the angle that her arm follows through too.
Up Throw	Melody Throw			Damage 9.5%
Marin strums her harp and a fountain of water launches the opponent upwards.
Down Throw	Tsunami Slam			Damage 6%
With a single flick on her harp, Marin commands the waves to slam the opponent on the ground. This bounces the opponent above Marin, which opens up a lot of combo options (D-Throw to U-Tilt, as an example).
Misc Attacks
Floor Attack	Sea Bell Spin			Damage 7%
As Marin rises up, she takes her trusty Sea Bell out and spins once.
Ledge Attack	Marin's Slide			Damage 9%
Marin slides along the ground and shoves everything in front of her away with her hands. Similar to Isabelle’s Edge Attack.

Special Moves

Marin’s Special Moves
Standard Special	Legend of Songs
Pressing the special attack button will cause Marin to pull out her Surf Harp, and 6 empty rectangles would appear above her. During this time, Marin can’t move during this but can cancel out by hitting the Neutral Special again. Please note that attacking out this in the middle of battle results in a significant attack startup lag, since you will have to input the entire song. When initiating the harp sequence, players can input the control stick to the right, left, up or down which will initiate a song, these directions would appear within the empty rectangles when inputted. Please note doing this attack while in the air and over the ledge can result in a self-destruct if not performed quickly enough. While Marin is technically from Link’s Awakening, she has appeared in various Zelda games in different forms and names. One such form is Malon from Ocarina of Time. It’s fitting that she would be able to use music from these games to use in battle. Once the first 6 notes have been played, Marins performs the move she's chosen as the rest of the song she played quietly plays out in the distance. She has a total of 11 songs pulled from various Zelda games.
Side Special	Sea Bubble
Marin releases a watery bubble, its course of trajectory heavily depends on what side you tilt the Side-Special. If held to the side in the center, it will follow a completely horizontal path, if tilting upwards the sea bubble will slowly follow an upward arc, opposite applies to tilting it a bit downwards. Compared to other projectiles, it is only a bit slower to get out.
Up Special	Cucco Wings
Marin rapidly takes out a Cucco and lifts it above her. The Cucco flies upward while carrying Marin with all of its power before getting visibly tired and slowly falling to the ground. It is maneuverable and covers a decent amount of vertical and horizontal distance depending on how it is maneuvered. Once Marin either lands with the Cuccoo in her hands, or once the Cucco gets tired, the Cucco would simply flap out of her hands and vanish away.
Down Special	Conch Horn
Marin takes the Conch Horn out and starts playing on the conch shell. As she leans a bit forward facing the screen while blowing it, coming out the other side of the Horn comes a big sound that takes form around her. This results into all her water attacks getting slightly buffed (a 1.2% multiplier in both damage and knockback) for around 15 seconds, this multiplier cannot stack and if performed again within the 15 seconds it will not be applied. This move takes a while to get out, and everyone caught in the sound gets dealt 8% damage, with medium knockback. To give an idea, it kills around 90% at the ledge. This horn is based on one of the eight instruments in Link's Awakening.
Final Smash	Ballad of the Wind Fish
Marin will call forth a splash of water that will transport the opponent caught in it into a cutscene. (8%) The cutscene will be reminiscent of the ending of Link's Awakening. Marin will play the 8 instruments near a sleeping Wind Fish, causing it to wake up. Its awakening will cause the dream world to disappear, and the opponent to disappear along with it in a light. Marin is returned to gameplay, where she wipes her eyes groggily, and the opponent is sent flying. (46%, instant KO at >100%)
