You know what happens when PrinceWatercress uses an HCBailly LP for a game guide: an awesome game gets covered and everything gets squeezed out of it.
Why am I doing this one first? It's the easiest to beat without deaths, and you can get more enjoyment out of it in the long-term compared to other Game Boy games.

Marin's House
When you wake up, you'll meet Marin and Tarin. You'll find out you're on Koholint Island. Talk to Tarin, and he'll give you your shield back. Unlike in other games, you have to have it equipped and use the button you equipped it on to actually use it.
Village and Toronbo Shores
When you leave the house, go west and south. You'll reach the cliffs near the beach. Go further south, and when you reach the shore, go east until you find your shore. Use your shield to move the sea urchins (which look a lot like the Gordos from the Kirby series) out of the way. You'll also be dealing with Octoroks, among other enemies, while you're making your way over here. You'll meet an owl. He'll speak to you, and he will find out that the sword is indeed yours. He comes to the conclusion that you're the one that will wake the Wind Fish. Unless the Wind Fish is awake, we can't leave the island. The owl will meet you again at the Mysterious Forest north of the village.
Now that you have the sword, go ahead and practice swinging your sword at enemies and killing them. Don't forget, you can hold down the button you've equipped the sword on to charge up and perform the Whirlwind Slash.
Avoid the monkeys on the tops of the trees. You won't be able to defeat them, anyway.
In a nearby house, you'll meet an alligator named Sale. Remember him for later in the game...
Sometimes, when you defeat an enemy, they'll drop items. Sometimes, it's hearts. Sometimes, it's Rupees. Sometimes, it's either an acorn or a flashing triangle. The acorn is the Guardian Acorn, and it cuts the amount of damage you receive in half for a few hits. The triangle is the Piece of Power, and it strengthens your sword swing, knocking any monster you hit with it waaaaay back as long as you haven't taken too much damage. It also lets you move noticeably faster, too. You cannot use both at the same time (sorry). According to HCBailly, you have to defeat a certain amount of enemies that is a multiple of 12 (supposedly). The Piece of Power requires a multiple of 45.
If you enter a cave or house, you'll remove the effects. Thankfully, you won't lose the effect if you enter a dungeon.
Mabe Village
Now that we're done in Toronbo Shores (for now), let's head back to the village. Be sure to talk to everyone, as you'll be helping other people out sooner or later.
South of the entrance to Toronbo Shores is the Village Library.
Village Library
There are eight books here that tell you how to play the game as well as stuff about the island. The book in the lower-right hand corner requires a magnifying glass in order to read. Spooky.
If you're playing the DX version, there will be a book on top of the bookcase. You won't be able to reach it right away, though. Why is this GBC exclusive, I wonder?
Well
Between the Mysterious Forest entrance and the library is the well. Cut down the bushes, jump in, and you'll find a Heart Piece. Collect four Heart Piece to get a full heart container. There are 12 Heart Pieces in the game.
Madame Meow Meow
To the east of the well is Madame Meow Meow's house. Apparently, Chain Chomps are dogs in this game. There's a doghouse next to her house, where you can find a miniature Chain Chomp that talks.
The Broom Lady and Ulrira
To the south of Madame Meow Meow's house is the broom lady. For somebody who sweeps the grass on a regular basis, she sure is happy. The house next to her is Ulrira's house. He's shy near people, but if you use one of the telephones scattered throughout the island, he'll talk to you and guide you towards your next objective.
Thankfully, there's a phone booth to the east of his house. There, you can communicate with Ulrira.
