I am in love with Marin

I am in love with Marin from Link's Awakening.

In my own opinion, it is the most touching game ever. Everything in the game is just very sad and touching at the same time. I have been in love with Marin ever since I was a kid with my GameBoy, and I would sometimes gaze at the stars wishing she was real. Her personality and appearance and everything else was just beautiful.

I am 20 years old now. I think the reason why I am so attached to Marin is because she was my childhood dream and it took me forever to beat the game (like 5 years) so I was really close to her because I would play the game every day and just walk around the island doing different stuff and listening to her sing.

It's really too bad she will never be real because I really cared about her and I still do. The words that she says in the game, i've never heard words like her's before. Sometimes there are things in the game so touching, words cannot even describe them. I have even became teary-eyed during different parts of the game. I cried a little when Marin and Link sat next to each other at the beach, and then I would cry a little about how Marin would tell you to never forget her and keep her song in your heart.

One of the dreams in my life was to meet Marin someday but sadly that will never happen because she isin't real. I somehow believe dreams can still come true in a way as long as that person's heart is pure. But as far as Marin goes, she will never be real and it's something I just have to live with even though is very very sad. I sometimes daydream about her from time to time, but sometimes I just try not to let it go too far or I will just feel sad some more. I guess the best thing to do is always keep that character in your heart even though they will never be real, your love will always.

You can visit my Marin page here. It's got a lot of stuff about her. It's not a webpage, just a forum page where people can post.

I dont have any words on how to make an impossible dream come true. You can only live with the hurtful truth that it will never come true.

WoW!! What a first post!!
I can totally identify with you, except ffor me, it was Lady Hexadecimal (points to Siggy and Avvy) because , although she was a completely insane, evil Viral Witch, she sacrificed everything she had, even sacrificing her life - to save a man she loved, though he never loved her at all.

What game is this?

Well I guess I can't say that I've ever been in Love with a video game character. Love is such a strong word. But there were times when I thought Link was very cute, maybe even hot. Sure you can say "its not the same because you were Link when you played the game" but that's the point. I like the fact that they can control someone so powerful. What can I say girls like to be in control. Its a turn on.

Wow...That is powerful. Man. Gosh. .... I think your best bet is to get a girlfriend with red hair who can sing and is as in love with Link as you are with Marin. Then if you ever get married you can ask her to change her name to Marin...just some advice. (If that doesnt work out I suggest going to a phyciatrist)...

On the other hand I think that it would be so awesome to have someone so in love with me. So if Marin was real I think she would be very flattered. Rest easy.

Well thats not really the point.

If I do meet some girl, I will accept her the way she is.

Some people think im crazy or weird after reading my Marin articles, all I can say is that it's just a person's emotions involving with the idea of the character and everything else. There's nothing really crazy or weird about it because we are only human and we do however have emotions towards a special someone, even if they weren't real in the first place.

You say you wished someone was in love with you? How old are you may I ask?

............WTF!?!?! You sir, are messed up. Real People exist, you do know this right?

Well, i know how you feel, however, i also realized that the character i had similar (but not as intense) feelings for at the time (Nayru, from Oracle of Ages) was a videogame character that Nintendo/Capcom hired good script writers for, so i got over it.

Well, if you're really that much in love with Marin, your best bet would be to hope that Futurama's concept of downloadable holograms comes true real soon, only you'd be downloading a hologram of Marin onto a blank robot instead of Lucy Liu.

or at least a Nintendo Virtual Reality (NOT virtual boy) world where you can explore a 3D rendering of Koholint through your own eyes and body.

That's quite interesting JoshCube. I myself have never been in love with a video game character, only puerilely infatuated. That was very profound, your first post. I've never played 'Link's Awakening' (and don't plan too any time soon), but from your description, and from what I've read, it sounds like a very touching game. I saw your thread at SSB3 when I signed up there. Hmm. I wish you serendipity.

Edit: And Dekadin, Super sonic2X: JoshCube has heard that a thousand times before! That's not very nice of you!

Don't be so mean guys, so hhe's in love with a video game charcter, WHO CARES?! It's not like he's telling you to read this thread.

Wow, just wow. Never have I heard about somebody being in love with a game character and at 20 as well. I mean, sure Marin may look nice and sound nice but she is virtual after all. There are women out there who are just like Marin and I'm sure you would love it. It's not really hard for a woman to have the same qualities as Marin. Now, I'm not going to be immatue and say, 'lol dood, get lfie, shes not rael!!1' like some of the people are doing in this thread. Rather, I'm just going to say if you admire Marin, look for a mate just like her. It's pretty brave of you to admit this on ZU though, I'll give you that.

If you can't respect people’s opinions why even post here? Just because she’s not real doesn't mean you can't love someone.
Like JoshCube said we all have emotions towards other people and that’s fine. Kind of sucks for you, that you can never make your dream come true. I (somewhat) know how you feel about a dream that can never ever come true. : /

But really, that's the perfect person, and I'm sure that there are real people in the world like that. I would want to meet that person. But I don't think you should be in love with a game character. Simple enough.

And great first post, very well thought out.

~Remember kids, Ganon not Gannon

Ignore what people say, Joshcube - Hexadecimal, despite being a fictional character has taught me so much, that Love is beautiful in any ]form, and no matter if you have been a bad person, there is always a chance for redemption.
I never loved her, but I had such a strong attachment with her, that I know how you feel!

I'm not saying it's bad to be affected in a good way by fictional characters. Most of the people in Lord of the Rings are incredible and have made me think diferently. Even things like star wars have changed the way people think. I know it changed me. But back on topic. It's ok to like fictional characters, I just don't think you should like them more than real people that have similar qualitys.

Dekadin, Super sonic2x, may I ask what your problem is? Who freaking cares if he loves a video game character, people are different. People actually take offense to that, you know. (zOMG WTF?????? :confused: ) I bet you'd be suprised about how many people had a crush on a video game or movie character at one point or another. Here's some advice of my own: Think before you type next time.

Well, if you're in love with a video game character, that's fine with me, I've heard way weirder things. No offense. But I'd also go with Nox's idea, how about you persue someone like Marin? It could be a variation of your dream come true. There sure is someone out there, you just have to look.

Oh, and welcome. I hope you stay active and all that jazz.

wow ummmmm i really don't know what to say since that was your first post that was very good but being in love with numbers i don't know.. I to have played La but if you think she has no character how could you possibly be in love with a person who can sing and then have no feelings at all

Ok. Thats good that you would accept her for who she is. That means you are in love not obsest. Sometimes people don't know which is which. And when that happens things can get really scary. I'm 16 years old, by the way.

Joshcube man,well put for your first post,why cares what the people say,everyone falls in love in they life,real are not,nothing to be a sharmed of.But i know somewhere in this world they is a girl that looks like marin has the same things as her,just look,you may never know.........

josh......your messed man marin i mean it would be slightly ok if you said zelda was hot but loveing a sprite your really weird.

Your the second person I know to love a LOZ charecter the other one loves Zelda (for reasons uknown) And hes a little crazy but not saying you are *cough cough even though cough you probs are cough* just sayin its a little um out of the ordinary.
