Tips
- To fish, press the A button when the fishing prompt appears above your head near a fish silhouette.
- When reeling in, watch the line gauge and continue holding A until the fish's HP reaches 0.
- Fish will fight back; observe the line gauge and your character's actions.
- You can sell fish anywhere, not just at the fish merchant.
