Fishing Hole Man

The Fisherman in Ocarina of Time runs the Fishing Pond in the northeast of Lake Hylia. He claims to be a pro fisherman.[1] For 20 rupees, he will allow Link to fish at the pond for as long as he wants, as long as he returns the Fishing Rod afterward.[2][3] Depending on the size of the fish, he will give Link different prizes. Link is his only customer, and without him, he admits that he might go out of business.[4][5]
When Link is a child, the Fisherman has a full head of hair. However, upon returning seven years later as an adult, the Fisherman is wearing a hat to cover up his newfound baldness. Link can use the Fishing Rod to snag his hat and take it away.[6]
The Fisherman does not approve of using other lures,[7] but he is amazed by the Hylian Loach, which can only be caught using the Sinking Lure.[8] He also scratches himself often, and he typically ends a sentence with "I'm serious!"[9]
A photo of the Fisherman from Ocarina of Time can also be seen on the wall of Hena's house in Twilight Princess, inside the Fishing Hole.
