Fishing

The fishing hut is located on lake Hylia. It is owned by a man that claims to be a great fisherman. As Adult Link you can cast at the owner and take his cap, revealing that he has gone bald.

Next to the hut is a fishing pond full of fish ready to get caught. By catching large fishes you can obtain various prizes. When you catch a record breaking fish, it will be put on display in a tank next to the owner, unless it is The Hyrule Loach. This fish is released as soon as you show it to the owner, because it is endangered.

You can use two types of lures: The regular one and the sinking lure (this one is illegal unless you talk to the owner and have it legalized). The sinking lure appears randomly at various locations.

Rules at the fishing pond include:
 * Walking slowly
 * No sinking lures
 * No casting at anybody

All these rules can be broken; however, if you throw the owner's hat to the water, he will fine you before leaving the pond.

In Twilight Princess
The fishing area is located just south of the Upper Zora's River area, with its only entrance semi-hidden within a rock wall. Hena, the only sister of _____, owns the fishing operation beyond the Upper Zora's River Area, which includes a large lake, a small marble minigame sidequest, fishing guides, fishing discounts, and an opportunity to win the coveted Frog Lure.

During fishing, Link can use one of five lures, two of which he much either find, or earn to use on the lake.


 * Bobber Lure: This lure is the default fishing apparatus used when fishing with Hena as a guide. This lure self-explainedly bobs up and down to attract sensitive fish. This lure, however, cannot attract deep-water dwelling fish and the largest fish one can catch with this lure is the Hylian Bass.


 * Popper Lure: This lure is a step up from the bobber lure, having the ability to attract mainly deep-water dwelling fish, using a highly aggrivating popping sound at the surface of the water in order to scare higher sensitive fish away.


 * Sinking Lure: As in most Zelda games, the sinking lure is prohibited due to its relatively easy way of catching fish. Link must find this lure from within the bottom of the lake in order to add it to his arsenal.
