In {{MM}}, the {{Term|MM3D|Fisherman}} is found in the {{Term|MM3D|Fisherman's Hut|link}} at the {{Term|MM3D|Great Bay Coast|link}}. He has been fishing for 30 years and claims to be the best {{Term|MM3D|Fisherman}} there is, even better than the {{Plural|MM3D|Zora|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|I've been catching fish in these seas for 30 years. When it comes to catching fish, I'm even better than the Zoras.|Fisherman|MM}}</ref> He continues to say that due to warm and murky waters of late, he has not been able to catch many {{Plural|MM3D|Fish|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Lately, the seawater has gotten really warm. It hasn't helped my fishing at all...|Fisherman|MM}}</ref> He also mentions that he used a {{Term|MM3D|Hookshot|link}} to catch {{Plural|MM3D|Fish}} off the coast, but was suddenly attacked by {{Term|MM3D|Gerudo|link|display= female pirates}} and took away the {{Term|MM3D|Hookshot}} claiming it was a legendary treasure.<ref>{{Cite|See, it was long ago when I used to use this thing called a hookshot to catch fish off the coast... But I was attacked by these pirates, and they took it away with them. They say... it's a legendary treasure..|Fisherman|MM}}</ref> If {{Term|MM3D|Link}} inspects the {{Term|MM3D|Seahorse|link}} in his house, the {{Term|MM3D|Fisherman}} will say that it is a rare specimen, and was planning to sell it at the carnival. If {{Term|MM3D|Link}} brings him a {{Term|MM3D|Pictograph|link}} of a {{Term|MM3D|Gerudo}} pirate from the {{Term|MM3D|Pirates' Fortress|link}}, he gives him the {{Term|MM3D|Seahorse}} in exchange.<ref>{{Cite|It's a rare fish, isn't it? It's called a sea horse.|Fisherman|MM}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|If you want that sea horse, bring me a pictograph of a female pirate.|Fisherman|MM}}</ref>

After completing the {{Term|MM3D|Great Bay Temple|link}} and defeating {{Term|MM3D|Gyorg (Boss)|link}}, the {{Term|MM3D|Fisherman}} will relocate to a small island near the {{Term|MM3D|Pirates' Fortress}}.<ref>{{Cite|Now that the seas are back to normal, I've started a little business aimed at tourists.|Fisherman|MM}}</ref> {{Term|MM3D|Link}} cannot reach the island unless he rides on a nearby motorboat and then {{Term|MM3D|Hookshot}} over to the island. He will let {{Term|MM3D|Link}} play the {{Term|MM3D|Fisherman's Jumping Game|link}}, in which he has to jump across several islands, trying to land on the island with a lit {{Term|MM3D|Torch|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|I'm going to light the torches on each of the surrounding four islands in a particular order. Jump to the island that has the lit torch. If you can jump to it before the torch goes out, you'll get one point!|Fisherman|MM}}</ref> If the young hero obtains at least 20 points, he will receive a {{Term|MM3D|Piece of Heart|link}} as a prize from the {{Term|MM3D|Fisherman}}. If {{Term|MM3D|Link}} wins, the {{Term|MM3D|Fisherman}} tells him 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.<ref>{{Cite|Uh-oh! That was a little too easy... Oh well, here's your prize! And I was thinking of saving up to buy a big ship... Now it looks like I may go bankrupt!|Fisherman|MM}}</ref>
