Hena's Fishing Hole is a location that appears in Twilight Princess. Situated in Upper Zora's River within the Lanayru Province, Hena's Fishing Hole consists of a large pond inhabited by many different varieties of fish, including the evasive Hylian Loach. Link is free to go angling from the banks of the pond at any time. However, if he wishes to venture further into the water, he will need to rent a canoe for a fee.
Hena, the attraction's namesake and proprietor, can join Link on his fishing trips if he so desires. She is the sister of Iza and Coro.
Overview
Hena's Fishing Hole consists of a large body of water enclosed by tall rock formations. Its waters are home to every type of fish in Twilight Princess, aside from the Reekfish and the Bombfish. On the shore, Hena resides in a modest structure housing many of the things relating to her business, such as the small aquarium used to contain fish caught by Link. This is the only location in which Link is able to play the Rollgoal mini-game.
Link can go fishing on the shore of the pond, or he can rent a canoe for the price of twenty Rupees. For one-hundred Rupees, Hena will join him, acting as a guide.
During the ending credits, Hena, Coro, and Iza are seen spending time together at Hena's Fishing Hole.
Seasons
Hena's Fishing Hole is distinct from other areas featured in Twilight Princess in that it utilizes a unique seasonal mechanic. A new season begins each time Link enters the area—cycling through Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. The current season holds influence over what fish will appear.
Items
Lures
Link is able to outfit his Fishing Rod with different lures, altering the way in which he approaches fishing. By completing all eight levels of Rollgoal, Hena will award Link the Frog Lure, which is useful in catching the rarely-seen Hylian Loach. The only other available lure, the Sinking Lure, can be found by fishing in certain areas of the pond after several conditions are met. Like the Frog Lure, the Sinking Lure can assist greatly when attempting a capture of the Hylian Loach. Hena deems the Sinking Lure to be somewhat of an unfair advantage, however, and will confiscate it from Link if he is found to be using it. If Link goes fishing on his lonesome, this outcome can be avoided entirely.
Bottle
- Main article: Twilight Princess Bottles
Near a small bridge on the *eastern side of the pond there is a signpost advising patrons to not throw litter, such as empty bottles, into the water. Fishing in the small alcove behind the bridge will yield a Bottle, possibly taking several attempts.
* In the Wii version, it is to the west.
Piece of Heart
- Main article: Twilight Princess Heart Pieces
If Link rents a canoe from Hena and has her accompany him, a Piece of Heart will appear on the rock formation at the center of the pond. Using the Fishing Rod, Link can tactfully land its hook on the Piece of Heart in order to pull it down.
