Hyrule Loach - *photo of catch*

My friend also had this happened to him. He doesn't have a ZU account so I can't really show some proof. I can't play on the same game because I sold it a LONG time ago so it's either believe me or not, I'm guessing not.

Or on the other hand you could be lying through your teeth, and just afraid/embarrassed to admit your wrong.

I concur.

Why the heck would I be afraid and embarrased about a game. That's kind of dumb don't you think. Like I said, You can either believe me or not.

I have managed to catch the loach a couple of times before, but only with the sinking lure though. As i see it is possible to get the fish without the lure, i'll give it a go later.

i caught it when i was about aged 8-10 cant remeber exactly but yeh i was totally suprised as i never knew about it and just was jaw dropped when i did catch it! Unfortauntly my ass of a step brother tripped over the n64 and pulled the plug out of the socket!!! gr... never bothered to try again but i might now you have told me how to catch it without me having a fluke! ha ha

Ive caught it on my N64 Cartrigage but not the collectors edition

I've caught it but never ever used the Sinking Lure in my life, partly as I've never used it. How do you know when you've got it? Gawd I ask dumn questions.

The Lure or the Fish?

I've caught that before. Only with a sinking lure though. I'm amazed it took you only 60 seconds it took me about 30minutes. Perhaps this has something to do with the sinking lure.

At anyrate it should be on your records at your house.

Also if you collect all 20 hearts it doesn't make sense cause you should have 21 hearts.. but if you get hit by an enemy that takes two hearts it only takes one and then after that it takes two...

That's complete Fiction. He might admire that you've caught it but he doesn't give you a heart container.

Then my game is glitchy or was because Link raised his hands like he got a heart and the music happened and the rest I noticed later.

The Hylian Loach?
Been there - done that!



Flaw - stop fibbing.

LOL, well done SD.

Also Flaw it has been pointed out by many peeps that what your saying is totally untrue, your only making yourself look like a twat.

Wow, I've never heard of this.

i got somthing to say. i think there is 2 hyrule loachs because i've caught 1 weighting 30 pounds & 1 weighting 35 pounds

I'll try to catch the fish without using the sinking lure, but out of curiosity I would like to know where it is. I've never been able to find it again...

I found the sinking lure by the wall against the rocks where that little stream flows into the fishpond. I'm playing the regular GameCube version, not Master Quest. Get the fishing rod FIRST, then hunt around the rock that's against the wall that's closest to the fishing counter. The lure should be there. You can't see it until you find it though. Hope this helps.

Really?
I thought the Hylian loach was one of the most infamous elements of Ocarina of Time, since catching it was legendary difficult.

That's where I tend to find them too - but when it's not there (and yes, the position of the lure can vary) I usually run around the pond where the water is shallowest, then onto the risen log that is on the far left of the pond as you enter the place.

Okay, I would so love to catch the Hylian Loach, being a die hard OOT fan. I have the sinking lure. My question is: Can you only catch the loach in OOT:MQ? Or can you catch the Loach on the Collector's Edition, or even the original N64 cartridge?

Sweet. I see it! I see it! I see the reflection. Your down in the text box, and your lamp is in the bottom right corner.
