The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: secrets
Optional rewards for GameCube and Wii. Directions use landmarks because the Wii world is mirrored.
A Bottle from the fishing pond
At Hena’s Fishing Hole, use Link’s bobber Fishing Rod in the small pond beside the wooden bridge. Keep casting to reel in an empty Bottle. The bridge is a reliable landmark in both the GameCube and mirrored Wii layouts.
Frog Lure from Rollgoal
Examine the Rollgoal board inside Hena’s hut in first-person view. Complete the first eight stages to unlock the Frog Lure. Tilt the Wii Remote on Wii; use the Control Stick on GameCube. Each attempt costs 5 Rupees.
Catch the legendary loach
Visit Hena’s Fishing Hole in summer and look among the lily pads. Use the Frog Lure for an adult Hylian Loach. Let it nibble before setting the hook; striking too early loses the fish. This avoids relying on the hidden, prohibited Sinking Lure.
Jovani’s first reward
Collect 20 Poe Souls and return to Jovani in Castle Town. As Wolf Link, dig by the wall where the cats gather to enter his house. He rewards you with a Bottle containing Great Fairy’s Tears.
