The Hylian Loach makes its debut in ''Ocarina of Time''. It is found in the [[Fishing Pond]] both as child and adult. The Hylian Loach is found around the lilypads, and can only be caught when using the Sinking Lure. Link will have to pinpoint the lure between the Loach and the center of the pond. Once every minute or so the Hylian Loach will swim to the center of the pond, and is at that time Link's only chance to catch it. This is the easiest way to catch it.

The Hylian Loach in ''Twilight Princess'' is found in [[Hena]]'s [[Fishing Hole]] around the lilypads, which are located at the back cave only in the summer, (the season changes every time Link exits and re-enters the area), same as it were in ''Ocarina of Time''. This time around, Link has to use the [[Frog Lure]] or the [[Sinking Lure]] in order to catch it. The Hylian Loach may also be found in the Kakariko Graveyard, Sacred Grove, or Lanayru Spring as a smaller fish (Around 15 inches). If caught in the Fishing Hole, it may be as large as 30 inches.
The Hylian Loach appears once more in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', its revered status having remained unchanged.

Hylian Loach

The Hylian Loach is a species of fish that appears in Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. It is considered a legendary catch among anglers due to its profound rarity.

Ocarina of Time

See also: Ocarina of Time Fishing Guide

The Hylian Loach makes its debut in Ocarina of Time, in which it is an occasional resident of the Fishing Pond. It can be encountered every fourth time that Link enters the area and pays the twenty-Rupee fee to fish. A single loach will appear when Link is in his adult form, and two will appear when he is a child. Furthermore, Link's age also determines how heavy the loach is when caught, its initial location in the pond, and whether or not he can make use of the Sinking Lure.

Presenting a Hylian Loach to the Fishing Hole Man elicits a very enthusiastic response over Link's rare catch, yielding a prize of fifty Rupees.

Twilight Princess

The Hylian Loach appears once more in Twilight Princess, its revered status having remained unchanged. Individuals can be found at the Sacred Grove, the Lanayru Spring, the Graveyard, and Hena's Fishing Hole. The latter of these locations is the most notable, as Hylian Loaches caught at Hena's Fishing Hole can achieve sizes much larger than that of their counterparts elsewhere.

Hena's Fishing Hole

Main article: Hena's Fishing Hole

Hena's Fishing Hole is subject to a seasonal cycle that advances each time Link enters the area—the Hylian Loach only appears in summer. A singular loach resides in the very northern portion of the pond, distinct for its many lily pads. Link can use the Frog Lure or the Sinking Lure to aid in his capture of the Hylian Loach, but it can also be caught using the standard lure.

Catching a Hylian Loach while in the presence of Hena results in a display of her bewilderment, dubbing Link a "Fish Master." After returning to land, Hena mounts a photo to her wall of Link holding his big catch.
