A top story might be Link's battles against the nightmares that plague Koholint. These nightmares take on different forms like bosses that Link has to defeat in order to progress. Each battle is a significant part of the story as it not only tests Link's skills but also reveals more about the nature of the island and the mystery surrounding the Wind Fish.
The 'Link's Awakening Dark Story' often involves a more sinister take on the events in Link's Awakening. It might include elements like the true nature of the island being a dream world with a darker purpose, perhaps trapping Link not just for a heroic quest but for more malevolent reasons.
Marin is an obvious choice. She has a deep connection to Link and her own dreams and desires. You could expand on her story, like what if she discovers she has a hidden power that can help Link in his quest? Or perhaps she decides to leave the island with Link if he manages to wake the Wind Fish.
Another plot could involve Link befriending a new, original character who has a special connection to the Wind Fish. This character could help Link understand more about the island's secrets and the true nature of his adventure, adding a new layer of mystery and friendship to the story.
One popular theme is exploring the dream - like nature of Koholint Island further. Writers might delve into how the island's strange inhabitants and landscapes could be even more surreal. Another theme could be the relationships Link forms during his time on the island, like his bond with Marin.

Often, fanfics like these allow for more in - depth character exploration. Link is a rather stoic character in the games, but in a fanfic, the author can give him more complex emotions and thoughts. The Zora Armor can be a catalyst for this exploration, as it might symbolize something important in his journey, like his connection to the Zora domain or his growth as a hero.
The regular story of Link's Awakening is more of a typical hero's journey. But the dark story has hidden motives and more sinister undertones. For example, the relationships Link has with the island's inhabitants might not be as friendly as in the regular story.
