The Octoball Derby is located in [[Lorule]] south of the [[Blacksmith (Lorule)|Blacksmith's]] house and southeast of [[Thieves' Town]]. There are three characters located in the immediate area: the [[Derby Boy]], who is the presumed owner of the game; [[Octo]], a friendly octorok who is the pitcher for the game; and the [[Derby Girl]], who when talked to gives Link hints at how to play. | The Octoball Derby is located in [[Lorule]] south of the [[Blacksmith (Lorule)|Blacksmith's]] house and southeast of [[Thieves' Town]].

The main objective of the game is to score as many [[Rupee]]s as possible, using only 30 pitches. During the game, the player can adjust Link's pose by moving the Circle Pad up or down.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Move the Circle Pad up and down to change your batting stance.|Derby Girl}} Each pose results in the ball being hit to different distances.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Your distance depends on your stance!|Derby Girl}} In the up stance, Link is going to hit groundballs. In the down stance, Link is going to hit flyballs. If Link remains in his normal stance, he hits line drives. The horizontal direction of the ball depends on how soon or late the ball is hit. Rupees are earned by breaking pots in the field with the ball. Normal pots are worth one Rupee, while a special gold pot is worth five Rupees. If Link is able to hit three pots consecutively, a bird will fly by the field.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|If you hit three pots in a row, you'll see a bird cross the field.|Derby Girl}} If Link is able to hit the bird, he gets 20 Rupees added to his score.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Hit [the bird] for an extra 20 Rupees, kid!|Derby Girl}} Also, on each side of the field | The main objective of the game is to score as many [[Rupee]]s as possible, using only 30 pitches.
