Fisherman


 * ''This is about the man who catches fish. For the men who run the Fishing Holes, see Fishing Hole Man.

The Fisherman is a recurring character in.

In, there are two fishermen. One of them can be found in Mabe Village and will allow Link to go fishing for 10 Rupees. The second one has lost his Fishing Hook and can be found underneath a bridge in Martha's Bay. Link can trade him the Fishing Hook Grandma Ulrira finds while sweeping the river bank for his next catch, which happens to be the Necklace. In, he appears in a photo in the The Travels of Link album.

In, the Fisherman is found in the Fisherman's Hut at the Great Bay Coast. He has been fishing for 30 years and claims to be the best fisherman 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. He also mentions that he used a tool called a Hookshot to catch fish off the coast, but was suddenly attacked by female pirates and took away the Hookshot claiming it was a legendary treasure. If Link inspects the Seahorse in his house, the Fisherman will say that it is a rare specimen, and was planning to sell it at the carnival. If Link brings him a Pictograph of a Gerudo Pirate from the Pirates' Fortress, he gives him the Seahorse in exchange.

After completing the Great Bay Temple and defeating Gyorg, the Fisherman will relocate to a small island near the Pirate's Fortress. Link cannot reach the island unless he rides on a nearby motorboat and then Hookshot over to the island. He will let Link play the Fisherman's Jumping Game, in which he has to jump across several islands, trying to land on the island with a lit torch. If the young hero obtains at least 20 points, he will receive a Piece of Heart as a prize from the Fisherman. If Link wins, the Fisherman tells the young hero that he regrets having made the game so easy, saying he was thinking of buying a big ship but cannot anymore because he might go bankrupt.
