Fish: Difference between revisions

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]]. If Link throws the fish back in the pond, it says, ''"Thank You"'', and then gives Link a number of [[Rupee]]s. Furthermore, when Link goes to the [[Bottle Merchant]] and gives him the fish, he will give Link a variety of items.

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]]. One is also required to enter [[Inside Jabu-Jabu's Belly|Jabu-Jabu's Belly]] in order to defeat the third boss, [[Barinade]]. Dropping a fish in front of him results in him opening his mouth and sucking Link inside. In the Fishing Pond, Link can be rewarded with the [[Golden Scale]] if he catches a 13 pound fish.

The [[Hyrule Bass]], called the "definitive lake fish" by [[Hena]], is a common fish. It has a green top and white bottom with a patten on the middle. This fish is also found in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. The largest known caught is 21 inches.

The [[Hylian Pike]] is also known in-game as the 'star of jumping fish'. It has a long body with a white zigzag patten going down it. The recommended lures are the [[Spinner Lure]] and [[Frog Lure]]. It is very popular amongst the anglers because of its eyes. The largest known fish caught is 27 inches.

The [[Ordon Catfish]] is green with swirling pattens along its side, and is fairly common. It has what appears to be whiskers on its face, hence the "catfish" designation. It is unpopular with the anglers being called 'too slimy'; if one is caught in the presence of Hena, she tells Link to throw it back. The recommend lure is the [[Popper Lure]]. The largest known caught is 25 inches.

The [[Reekfish]] is a bright red fish which is only found near the [[Mother-and-Child Rocks]] in [[Zora's Domain]]. The Reekfish is used by [[Yeto]] to help cure [[Yeta]] sickness. The fish has a very strong smell which helps Wolf Link to find the Yeti. The Reekfish can only be caught using the [[Coral Earring]] given to Link by [[Prince Ralis]]. The Reekfish is known to have a horrid stench, but is fairly nutritious.

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 the Hyrule Field. The Bombfish can be kept for a under-water bomb. It does not have a 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 he manages to catch a Neptoona, he will be rewarded with a [[Heart Container]] by the Old Wayfarer.  

The Skippyjack is a common fish easy to catch due to not zig-zaging or jumping too much. It is mostly found on the south-west section of the sea. After obtaining the [[Big Catch Lure]] the Skippyjack become more rare.

The Toona is also a common fish, but not as common as the Skippyjack. The Toona is still as common with the Big Catch Lure. The Old Wayfarer will not be impressed when shown the fish.

The Loovar is a large and rare fish. It is rare with the normal lure, but if caught and taken back to the Old Wayfarer he will reward Link with the Big Catch Lure. After that the Loovar will become much more common.

The Stowfish is a fish that can not be caught in the normal manner. Instead Link will find it on another large fish with the Loovar being the minimum size. If Link takes a Stowfish back to the Old Wayfarer then he will be rewarded with a [[Ship Part]].

The Rusty Swordfish is a large fish. It is so large the salvage arm is needed to hold it. This fish can only be caught with the Big Catch Lure. It is rarely found in the shadow of the smaller fish and much more often found in the shadow of the swordfish.

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. Showing the fish to the Old Wayfarer results in being given a Heart Container. The name is a pun on the Greek god Neptune and the fish Toona also found in 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 is then taken to the [[Fish Saleswoman]] in [[Castle Town|Hyrule Castle Town]] to receive a [[Force Gem]]. It is not necessary to bring [[Mega Ice]] to the saleswoman in order to buy fish 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.
