I can't remember if I mentioned this, but I just got to the fourth dungeon in link's awakening. a friend accidentally divulged the location of Marin when I'm trying to use no faqs for any game (that's the reason axiom verge is so difficult for me).
my friend told me she was on the beach near the first town. I knew from some clues that she was heading from the animal village to mabe village based on what people said in the animal village. however, I wasn't sure if she was human, but I knew where to look. I would've found her eventually especially after I had link's awakening's intro running while I was typing a message somewhere. it shows a girl standing on the beach. that was a good clue, but I'm not sure if I would've solved it immediately. I was going to be thorough though. I got stuck in bloodstained (going underwater) for about three weeks last. I didn't really get stuck that much in dragon quest 1.
