Features and Overview
The Ocean Fishing Hole is located on the far eastern edge of the Zora Cape close to the Zora Hall. The entrance houses a shack where the Ocean Fishing Hole Man stands behind a counter. Between the door and the counter is a large bulletin board displaying the fishing journal, Tatl can read it out to Link and display the fish that he has caught. Numerous posters adorn the walls of the shack, displaying pictures of the various kinds of fish that can be found in the area and giving hints on the conditions and masks needed to catch them.

The exterior area beyond the shack features a sandy shoreline next to the ocean, with canoes, flowers, and trees. If Link tries to swim too far away from the shore, the Ocean Fishing Hole Man will prevent him from going any farther. A covered jetty extends from the direction of the shack into the water. In the ocean are several tiny islands that can be accessed by any of Link's forms, but most easily with Zora Link. A sunken ship can be found underwater along the western side of the area. An underwater cave adorned with pink crystals resides in the east. The cave is blocked by vegetation and cannot be entered, but certain kinds of fish will spawn in and around them.

There are three rules posted in a sign next to the jetty, though the only the last one can be broken to elicit a reaction from the Fishing Hole Man.


 * Don't deface our posters
 * Don't drown if ya can't swim.
 * Don't cast lures at people!!!

Random fish types are spawned when Link enters the fishing hole, and leaving and re-entering the area will regenerate the available fish. Link is free to explore the area and scout the ponds as Zora Link before paying for a fishing rod. The Termina Seabass, Goodta Goby, and Ambrosial Amberjack are common fish that can always be found in the water and do not require any special conditions to catch. There are two "boss fish" that can be found which play the boss battle theme when attempting to catch them: the Grand Swordfish and the Savage Shark. There is also one secret boss fish who is not listed on the posters: Great Fairy Fish. This fish will only appear after catching several rare fish in the same game session, and the Ocean Fishing Hole Man will personally congratulate Link on catching it.

The Ocean Fishing Hole will experience rain on the Second Day, despite the surrounding region remaining clear and dry. The presence of rain will prompt the Goodta Goby to swim deeper underwater, allowing it to be caught more easily using the Fishing Rod with Sinking Lure.
