Fishing Holes
New Majora's Mask 3D adds two Fishing Holes to Termina; the Nintendo 64 version had none. Each has its own set of 12 kinds of fish, and catching them all is a little side quest of its own.
Where They Are
- Swamp Fishing Hole: on the Road to Southern Swamp, next to the Swamp Shooting Gallery. The pond has a stone pillar in the middle that Deku Link can reach by hopping across the lily pads, a waterfall to the west and an underwater cave to the north.
- Ocean Fishing Hole: at Zora Cape, next to the Great Fairy Fountain. It's a stretch of shore with stone pillars leading out to sea, a sunken ship near a small island to the west and an underwater cave to the east. The owner won't let you swim too far out.
How It Works
- Price: 50 Rupees a go, or free with a Fishing Hole Pass. You get passes for finishing side quests and minigames whose main prize you already have, in place of the old Rupee rewards.
- Two rods: choose a normal rod or one with a Sinking Lure.
- Fishing journal: the book by the counter keeps track of the fish you have caught, with the record size and when you caught each one. Posters on the walls describe the fish in that pond and how to catch them.
- Day, time and masks: some fish only bite on certain days or at certain hours, and some only appear when you wear a particular mask or play a particular song. A jingle plays when the fish you are trying to attract is in the area.
- Fierce Deity Link: the Fishing Holes are the only places outside boss rooms where you can wear the Fierce Deity's Mask, and some fish need it.
