The Fishing Pond of ''Ocarina of Time'' is found in the northeast of [[Lake Hylia]]. While Link is a child, it can be accessed immediately from [[Hyrule Field]], but as an adult Link must either complete the [[Water Temple]] to raise the lake's water level or play the [[Scarecrow's Song]] and then use his [[Hookshot]] to reach the pond.

The goal of the Fishing Pond is to catch a fish that beats the current record in weight. As a child, any fish weighing ten pounds or more will give him a Piece of Heart. As an adult, the fish must weigh at least fifteen pounds for Link to receive the [[Golden Scale]]. Once Link has managed to beat these records, he can search for the [[Sinking Lure]], which can appear in four different places around the pond. The Sinking Lure, although against the rules, will let Link catch the rare [[Hylian Loach]] as an adult. The Hylian Loach will grant Link 50 Rupees in prize money, no matter the size.{{Ref|OoT|1440|Fisherman}}
