'''Octoball Derby''' is a mini-game | '''Octoball Derby''' is a [[Mini-Game|mini-game]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''. It is one of many available in the game, and is heavily styled as a game of baseball. [[Link (A Link Between Worlds)|Link]] uses a stick (or any of Ravio's Rod items if equipped to X, though there appears to be no functional difference between them) to hit incoming pitches. | ||

There are three characters located in the immediate area: the [[Derby Boy]], who is the presumed owner of the game; [[Octo]], a friendly [[Octorok]] who is the pitcher for the game; and the [[Derby Girl]], who when talked to gives Link hints at how to play. | ||
The main objective of the game is to score as many [[Rupee]]s as possible, using only 30 pitches. During the game, the player can adjust Link's pose by moving the Circle Pad up or down.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Move the Circle Pad up and down to change your batting stance.|Derby Girl}} Each pose results in the ball being hit to different distances.{{Ref|''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''|Your distance depends on your stance!|Derby Girl}} In the up stance, Link is going to hit groundballs, which is the only way to hit the front row of pots, but can also hit Octo. In the down stance, Link is going to hit flyballs, which will only hit the back row of pots. If Link remains in his normal stance, he hits line drives, which cannot hit the front row of pots or Octo. The horizontal direction of the ball depends on how soon or late the ball is hit. | The main objective of the game is to score as many [[Rupee]]s as possible, using only 30 pitches.
