In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', a fish can be caught in the drained water in the south of the [[Light World]] after draining the lake in the [[Swamp Palace (A Link to the Past)|Swamp Palace]]. If Link throws the fish back in the pond, it says, ''"Thank You"'', and then gives Link a number of [[Rupee]]s. Furthermore, if Link goes to the [[Street Merchant]] and gives him the fish, he will give Link a variety of items.

Fish in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'' can be found in the [[Fishing Pond]], a small fishing area located north of [[Mabe Village]]. There are no specific types, just small and large ones. Depending on the size of the Fish caught, Link receives rewards from the [[Fisherman (Link's Awakening)|Fisherman]] whenever he catches one, including a [[Piece of Heart]].

[[File:OOS-Fish.png|24px|left]]Additionally, there is a Fish-like enemy in ''Link's Awakening'' called [[Piranha]]s. They are really weak enemies, but can be a bit unpredictable. They can be found in flooded caves and in [[Goponga Swamp]], swimming back and forth under the water.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Link can store fish in a Bottle and catch them in the [[Fishing Pond]].{{Ref|OoT|76|In-Game Description}} If Link drops a fish in front of [[Lord Jabu-Jabu]], it will inhale Link [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly|inside its belly]]. In the Fishing Pond, Link can be rewarded with the [[Golden Scale]] if he catches a 13-pound fish. Link can also purchase Fish in the [[Zora Shop (Ocarina of Time)|Zora Shop]] and [[Potion Shop (Ocarina of Time)|Potion Shop]] for 200 Rupees.{{Ref|OoT|204|In-Game Description}}

The Fish can be used to acquire the eighth item of the sequence, the [[Megaphone]]. The Megaphone can be obtained from [[Mittens' Owner]], a man found in the southern portion of [[North Horon]]. Mittens' Owner's cat, Mittens, is at the top of a tree, and refuses to come down.{{Ref|OoS|403|Mittens' Owner}} However, if Link brings the Fish to Mittens' Owner, he asks to have it so he can get Mittens down.{{Ref|name=forher?}} After thanking Link for the Fish,{{Ref|OoS|405|Mittens' Owner}} he uses the Fish to successfully get Mittens to come down. Overwhelmed with joy, Mittens' Owner rewards Link with the Megaphone.{{Ref|OoS|407|Mittens' Owner}}

Fish in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' are found in most ponds and rivers. They are only used in the game for Fishing, which Link can start as soon as he collects the [[Fishing Rod]] from [[Uli]]. Depending on whether the game is being played on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] or [[Nintendo Wii|Wii]], the controls are fairly different.

The Bombfish is a fish that looks like a fish with a bomb in its mouth. It is found inside Lakebed Temple and inside hidden caves around Hyrule Field. The Bombfish can be kept for an under-water bomb. It does not have an entry in the Fish Journal like the Skullfish.

In ''Phantom Hourglass'', Link can fish off his boat provided he obtained the Fishing Rod from the [[Old Wayfarer]]. There are six types of fish for him to catch, and if he manages to catch a Neptoona, he will be rewarded with a [[Heart Container]] from the Old Wayfarer.  

====Skippyjack====

The Neptoona is a very large fish taking up both screens of the DS. It can only be caught once Link shows the Old Wayfarer a Rusty Swordfish. The fish is a gargantuan, blue swordfish with a serrated bill with various green-blue markings. If Link shows the fish to the Old Wayfarer, he gives Link a Heart Container. The name is a pun on the Greek god Neptune and the fish Toona also found in the game.

[[File:Spirit-Tracks-Fish-Icon.png|right]]The fish in ''Spirit Tracks'' are an object used for delivery. Link can buy 20 fish for 50 Rupees. The Fish can be taken to the [[Fish Saleswoman]] in [[Castle Town|Hyrule Castle Town]] for a [[Force Gem]]. It is not necessary to bring [[Mega Ice]] to the fish saleswoman in order to buy fish because all he needs is the cargo carriage. But, the Fish Saleswoman will not accept Mega Ice until the [[Fire Temple (Spirit Tracks)|Fire Temple]] is completed.
