Fishing Hole Man

The  is a recurring character in.

Ocarina of Time
In, the Fishing Hole Man owns a Fishing Pond in Lake Hylia. The Fishing Hole Man allows Link to lure fish for an unlimited time at a cost of 20 Rupees. He considers himself an expert at catching fish, going as far as referring to himself as an old pro. However, he refuses to reveal any fishing secrets to Link, since he considers them to be company secrets. He has a tendency to continuously end his sentences with "I'm serious!,"  and has a neverending itch in his armpit.

When Link goes back to the Fishing Pond as an adult, the Fishing Hole Man will now be wearing a hat to try and cover his bald spot. Moreover, he mentions that he is almost out of business since Link, his only customer, was gone for seven years. If Link breaks the rules and casts the Fishing Rod at the Fishing Hole Man, he can grab his hat to confirm the fact that he has started to go bald. Link can then choose to give him back his hat or throw it into the pond. If Link chooses the latter, the hat can be lost forever, so Link will have to pay a 50 Rupee fine.

The Fishing Hole Man makes a small cameo in Hena's Fishing Hole in, were a picture of him holding a Hyrule Loach appears. Hena also believes to be his descendant, sharing both his passion for fishing and his awkward itch.

Majora's Mask 3D
In, there are two Fishing Holes each run by the Fishing Hole Man. Link can fish at either hole for a 50 Rupees fee, or for free by using a Fishing Hole Pass.

The Swamp Fishing Hole is located next to the Swamp Shooting Gallery. The Ocean Fishing Hole is located in the Zora Cape.

The Fishing Hole Man will share secrets about fishing with Link if he is talked to. He will also mention that a certain fish can be caught on that day.

Just as in Ocarina of Time, the Fishing Hole Man's headgear can be hooked with the Fishing Rod to reveal a bald head; if Link does so, he must give the Fishing Hole Man every Rupee currently in his wallet as reparation. If he has no Rupees, the Fishing Hole Man will forgive the offense.

The Swamp Fishing Hole Man will sometimes mention his younger brother, the Ocean Fishing Hole Man.

The Fishing Hole Man also bears a great resemblance to the Man from Trading Post and the Man from Curiosity Shop. When Link mentions this, the Fishing Hole Man denies it, saying he has no idea who Link talking about.
