Template:Animal The Catfish[1] is a character in Template:ALTTP who has made his home inside the circle of rocks in Lake of Ill Omen, in the Dark World.
Near the ring where the Catfish dwells, there is a sign that says: "Curses to anyone who throws something into my circle of stones." If Link ignores the sign and follows the advice of the bird-like creature in a cave south of the Palace of Darkness by throwing a skull, a bush, or the sign itself into the circle of stones,[2] the great Catfish, who was having a nap, appears and gives him the Quake Medallion in return for leaving it alone.[3]
After that, disturbing it by throwing another item into the ring of stones causes the Catfish to spit a fireball or throw a Bomb out.
Link's Awakening
In Link's Awakening, a location known as the Catfish[4] is home to the Catfish's Maw dungeon. It is a large, motionless statue that acts as an entrance to the dungeon and lies in the center of Martha's Bay. Like the Catfish in A Link to the Past, it sits in a circle of stones. To access it, Link will have to dive through a secret passageway under the rocks.
Trivia
- The Japanese name of the Catfish is Template:Japanese. In Japanese mythology, Namazu is a gigantic catfish who has the power to cause earthquakes.
- The Ocean Floor entrance above the surface in Spirit Tracks is also shaped like a giant catfish.
