Characteristics

Link's Awakening

Link fighting the Angler Fish in Link's Awakening DX

The Angler Fish is the Boss of Angler's Tunnel in Link's Awakening. It is the Nightmare guarding the Surf Harp. The Angler Fish is fought underwater and charges at Link, making rocky tiles fall down from the ceiling upon hitting a wall. Angler Fries will also appear to aid it. Link can defeat it by slashing its light with the Sword.

Oracle of Ages

The Angler Fish is the miniboss of Jabu-Jabu's Belly in Oracle of Ages. It will either jump on top of Link or spit bubbles at him. Shooting it with the Seed Shooter will bring it down, leaving its light open to attacks.[2] After taking enough damage, the Angler Fish will begin to bounce again while shooting bubbles.
