I spent 45 minutes trying to catch a fish and I just gave up
I TRIED!!
I REALLY DID
So in Ocarina of Time, there is a fishing hole, and you.. well.. catch fish. I wanted to get a fish that is 60 cm, so I could get the golden scale!!
But then.. I noticed.. in the pond there was one fish that was different than the others, and I wanted to catch the fish. I remember reading about this in Hyrule Encyclopedia, it’s the Hylian Loach!! COULD I have caught a big version of a normal fish, like a normal person.. yes.. is that what I did.. no.
Now, there is a special lure called the sinking lure I COULD use, but it is technically banned at the fishing hole and I didn’t want to cheat.
SO I SPENT 45 MINUTES TRYING TO CATCH THIS DAMN FISH!!
The game gave me something that made it so I catch it easily, did i use it, NO. I’m not usually a try hard but in OOT i want to go through my first playthrough using NO SHORTCUTS, TUTORIALS, or ANYTHING ELSE> If this was any other game I would be able to easily decide to take the easy route, but did I, NO BECAUSE I WAS TO DANG STUBBORN!!
SO I SPENT 45 MINUTES TRACKING THE FISH THAT ONLY CAME UP TO THE SURFACE LIKE EVERY 5 MINUTES!!
AND I HOOKED IT THREE TIMES!!
ONCE I GOT IT SOOO CLOSE!!
BUT THEN I MESSED UP!!!
I decided to give in and cheat, but I still lost the fish, and I knew I could probably get it if I tried again, but I was too bitter, so I just caught a normal fish, and left.
I LEFT
AFTER 45 FREAKING MINUTES!!
Yet every single one of those 45 minutes was fun as well.
BUT IM STILL PISSED OFF!!! I TRY TO PLAY HONESTLY AND THIS IS WHAT I GET!!
At least the pond is BEAUTIFUL!! ❤
Below is a pic of the fish I ALMOST CAUGHt, the reward I ALMOST GOT, the fish I DID catch (except this one is bigger), the entrance to the fishing hole , and the original N64 version compared to the remake.
