Many fans of the classic Zelda games have noted the curious lack of a traditional fishing minigame in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and its predecessor. Considering games like Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess boasted surprisingly robust fishing minigames, it seemed strange to many that the big new open-world Zelda titles decided to forgo this fan-favorite activity. In actuality, though, both games do allow you to fish; you just can’t use a fishing rod to do so. In particular, Tears of the Kingdom contains a few noteworthy tricks that significantly streamline the process of fishing.
