Fisherman



The Fisherman is a character in Majora's Mask who is found in the Fisherman's House at Great Bay. He will tell you that he is the best fisher there is, even better than the Zoras. He continues to say that due to warm and murky waters of late, he has not been able to catch many fish. Furthermore, he says that he had seen a Zora floating lifelessly in the water, but that it was probably too late.

There is a Seahorse in his house, whom The Fisherman will say is rare. In order for him to give it to you, you must give him a Pictograph of a female pirate (similar to the Gerudo's from Ocarina of Time). After this, you will receive the Seahorse as an item, so long as you have an empty bottle. It will ask you to take it back to Pinnacle Rock, which is located inside of a hidden entrance between two rocks to the west of Great Bay. After you swim through them, you will have to use the seahorse to guide you through the water. This section plays similarly to the Poe in the Haunted Wasteland section from Ocarina of Time, where if you stray from the shown path, you will be returned to the start. Upon killing the Sea Snakes at the end, you will meet another Seahorse, and the sub quest will be completed with a Piece of Heart as a reward.

After completing the Great Bay Temple, the Fisherman will relocate to a small island near the Pirate's Fortress. You can't reach the island unless you ride on a nearby motorboat (identical to the ones in the Pirate's Fortress itself,) and then Hookshot over to the island. He will have you play a minigame in which you have to jump across several islands, trying to land on the island with a lit torch. If you win, you get a Piece of Heart from the Fisherman, but it can only be recieved after defeating Gyorg.
