The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess
2006 | Nintendo | Wii
Fishing, as anyone who’s into the ‘sport’ will admit if you get them drunk enough and promise not to tell their other half, is not about the catching of fish. It’s about getting away from it all in a boat and relaxing, far from the people and responsibilities of day to day life. Fishing has been a part of the Zelda games for years, but only in the Wii version of Twilight Princess has the experience really been done justice.
A lush and secluded woodland glade, a lake to paddle around in your rowing boat, a waterfall, and a cute fishing shop girl to flirt with... It’s the perfect day away, and a perfect distraction from the pressures of the main quest. So much so in fact, that it’s possible to spend whole afternoons playing this mini-game and forget all about saving Hyrule. You might not catch anything, but for once, you genuinely won’t care.
