While I didn't get quite THIS mad at fishing in Twilight Princess it is pretty bad. Not the WORST fishing system in any game I've played…but it's up there. I think if the camera wasn't so close in, and you were able to have a bit more control over your pole it would be better. Red Dead Redemption 2 has a very similar system as does Far Cry 5, and it's a lot more fun.

I did get a chuckle from reading this, though.

just got this game for the Game Cube, I’m playing it on my Wii but I’m using the Game Cube controller ’cause I hate the Wii controllers. Anyway, I forgot to buy a Game Cube memory card for the Wii (yeah I know, I fail) so everything I turn the game off I have to restart. First time I played, I was able to fish, no problem at all. I’m playing for the second time because I can’t wait for the Memory card to show up, and I have no clue how to fish xD I love Zelda but this is frustrating l0l

Here is how you do.

throw the shit in the water.

When fish is intressted (the fishing thing will go underwater) hold C-down until you have catched fish.

This is not hard at all.

Takes like 1 min top.

dude i know exactly what you mean, i’d played it on wii no problems but i picked up the old gamecube for some oldschool gaming (sold my wii) and ended up doing a google search that lead me here to your rant about this game, i seriously spent 4 hours pissing around and when i pulled back on the c-stick as soon as i had the frickin fish was gone and i was stuck trying it again

this game is amazing, but omfg they failed at the fishing controls

Finally, at the very fucking end of this entire thing, I found the answer. it really is simply, you just have to have someone explain it. lol thanks wow, you’re the one who got me to fish. it really is easy – unless you have no fucking idea how to do it!

I had the same problem on the wii. supposedly it’s easier to do on the wii version, but i’m pretty sure that is bullshit. because I’ve just started replaying the game and this dumbass fishing thing has made me dread playing the game at all
