Link's Awakening is know for its many curious cameos from other video games. For the most part this includes various Mario characters and enemies, but there is also Prince Richard from The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls, Dr. Write as a reference to Dr. Wright from SimCity and of course the Anti-Kirby.
But after 25 years there is so much more potential for additional cameos from other Nintendo games here, which they could include in the remake, maybe even as a source for additional Pieces of Heart or other goodies. But of course they shouldn't overdo things here, where we suddenly get Fire Emblem characters camping around Kanalet Castle...
It should be something moderate, which fits both the new art style and the environment. And it if has to be just the one, then there's only one good answer here:
... or anyone from Animal Crossing, really, but where Isabelle is basically the mascot of the series, which even made it into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Why her? Well, this would go hand in hand with the newest game, Animal Crossing - New Horizons, which takes place on islands and might even have some nods to Link's Awakening here.
But the main reason for such a cameo would be that we have the perfect place for this: Animal Village. It's practically an Animal Crossing town within the Zelda universe and adding one of their characters there would be a fitting reference.
It couldn't hurt to put Isabelle in one of the houses there or somewhere outside in Animal Village, where you can talk to her and where she might give you a Piece of Heart if you bring her an apple or something.
