They are counterparts to ordinary [[fish]] that appear in the [[Light World]]. They jump out of the water when [[Link (A Link to the Past)|Link]] throws a variety of objects into the water. Their appearance is that of a skinless fish, with only skeletons showing. | ||

Skullfish appear in the [[Great Bay]] region of [[Termina]]. They are small skeleton fish that swim around in the water and when they spot [[Link (Ocarina of Time)#Majora's Mask|Link]], they try to take a bite of him. Unlike traditional fish, Skullfish do not usually appear in groups, and instead, can be found isolated in parts of the ocean. Link is able to hear them coming toward him by the crackling or click sound that they make. | Skullfish appear in the [[Great Bay]] region of [[Termina]].

The easiest way is to put on the [[Zora Mask]] and use [[Zora Link]]'s [[Electric Barrier]] attack, by swimming and pressing 'R'. If Link is able to stand on a flat surface, he can defeat a Skullfish using his [[Hookshot]] or the [[Hero's Bow]]. | ||
Many Skullfish can be found within the [[Pirates' Fortress]] where they are guarding some of the [[Zora Egg]]s that Link needs to collect. Since these enemies are in small contained areas, Link can stand above them and use projectile weapons to easily defeat them. | Many Skullfish can be found within the [[Pirates' Fortress]] where they are guarding some of the [[Zora Egg]]s that Link needs to collect.

In ''Twilight Princess'', Skullfish appear in the [[Lakebed Temple]]. Like in ''Majora's Mask'', they will follow [[Link (Twilight Princess)|Link]], then try to attack him by biting him. These creatures tend to appear in small groups. They are easily defeated using the [[Clawshot]] or the [[Hero's Bow]]. Since Link has limited speed and abilities while underwater, Skullfish are much easier to defeat with projectile weapons from the surface. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', Skullfish appear in the [[Lakebed Temple]].

Link can use his [[Fishing Rod]] to catch a Skullfish, but they are considered forbidden fish and they are not recorded within Link's [[Fish Journal]].{{Ref|TP|2085|NA}} However, the game does keep a hidden record of the biggest Skullfish that Link has caught. These fish are some of the easiest fish to catch and each time Link catches one, they will leave behind a [[Recovery Heart]] for Link to collect. Since Link cannot keep the fish, it will then flop around on land and they are very easy to defeat. | Link can use his [[Fishing Rod]] to catch a Skullfish, but they are considered forbidden fish and they are not recorded within Link's [[Fish Journal]].{{Ref|TP|2085|NA}} However, the game does keep a hidden record of the biggest Skullfish that Link has caught.
