The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Game Guide

ackwards; don’t go exaggerated and fling it over your head. If you get the "Fish On!" prompt,
keep it pointed upright until you reel the line all the way in, and you’ll have your fish. (Honestly, it
seems kind of random as to whether you get a fish on the line or not when the bobber goes into
the water, but if you keep trying this action, and simply wait ten or fifteen seconds after the
bobber starts to dip before pulling it out, you’ll eventually nab a fish. Don’t worry; you won’t have
to do this very often in the game.)
You’ll probably need to grab two fish here for whatever reason. After nabbing the second small
fish, it’ll fall off your line in front of the cat (make sure you’re fishing from the correct pier; the cat
should be right nearby when you’re fishing), who will grab it and run back to the store. Follow it to
find the owner right perky; she’ll give you half a jar of milk and will allow you to buy the slingshot
for 30 rupees. If you don’t have enough, try smashing more pumpkins, or explore the town more
thoroughly. There’s a ten rupee piece atop the mayor’s house, for instance.
Smashing Beehives
If you walk over to the house across the way from the store, you’ll be able to use the slingshot to
knock down the beehive way up in the tree above it. No special rewards for doing so, but you will
be able to walk up there and collect 15 rupees if you didn’t do so on your first trip through town.
You can also drink the milk that the store owner gave you and use the bottle to collect some bee
larva, if you wish. It acts as fishing lure.
The only other minigame in town is available if you talk to the mayor, who’ll enlist you in stopping
rogue goats that are attempting to escape the farm. It can be deceptively difficult to hit the A
button at just the right time to do so.
Kids These Days
Head back towards Link’s house when you want to move on in the game. Rusl will tell you that he
left something for you in your bedroom. Hopefully it’s not another one of those freaky love letters.
That creep, you’ve told him to knock that off!
Before you head inside, talk to the girls for a makeshift slingshot lesson. When you’re done with it,
be sure to lock onto the spider on the ladder leading to your home and shoot it before heading
up. When you reach your house, open the chest in front of you to find your Wooden Sword.
Yay!
