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 Fishing Pond is a location that appears in Link's Awakening and Ocarina of Time. In both games, it is operated by the Fisherman. It is the only location in both games where Link can enjoy fishing.

Appearances

Link's Awakening

The Fishing Pond in Link's Awakening

In Link's Awakening, the Fishing Pond is located north of Madam MeowMeow's House in Mabe Village. Link can fish there for 10 Rupees.[1] The pond is filled with three small fish and two large ones. The larger ones are more difficult to catch, but they yield better prizes. For each small fish Link catches, he will receive five rupees.[2] The large fish farthest from the platform gives Link twenty rupees.[3] The other large fish gives him a Piece of Heart.

Ocarina of Time

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 Fisherman at the Fishing Pond will lend Link a Fishing Rod for 20 Rupees.[4] Link can fish for as long as he wants; however, Link cannot take the rod out of the pond, or else the Fisherman will stop him.[5][6] A sign is also posted inside of the pond with the rules written on it.[7]

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. Link can also grab with a bit of dexterity the Fisherman 's cap. [8]
