Fishing in The Legend of Zelda series has been a beloved activity since its introduction in Link’s Awakening for the Game Boy in 1993. While it is sometimes required for story progression, it is mostly optional, yet rewarding for those who choose to participate. The latest installment, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, offers a variety of methods for catching fish, including shooting them with arrows or diving in by hand. However, what makes this game unique is the addition of vehicle-building abilities, allowing Link to craft a boat and employ creative tactics for catching fish.
A Reddit user named CodyK17 revealed a clever technique for catching fish in Tears of the Kingdom. By utilizing a boat on Tenoko Island armed with Zonai Shock Emitters, players can electrocute fish passing underneath and gather them with Ultrahand. These fish can be crafted together and saved with Autobuild, and then used to magnetically attract the next group of fish to the player's cursor for easy collection. This is just one example of how Link's new abilities enhance the open-world gameplay in Tears of the Kingdom, allowing players to create useful tools and structures, or even torment innocent creatures with their powers.
Some avid Tears of the Kingdom enthusiasts opt to remain close to the aquatic surroundings to brainstorm innovative fishing techniques facilitated by the game's latest features. The introduction of Shock Emitters and Autobuild enables the creation of a water-crossing vessel, expediting the fishing process and allowing for simultaneous collection of dead fish without Link having to submerge himself. The game is readily available on Nintendo Switch.
