Common junk
Bag of Rupees
- Main article: Rupee
A bag of Rupees is a cloth sac containing a random amount of Rupees..[1] Catching one will add the bag's contents to the user's wallet. Of the common junk, this is the only one with a useful purpose.
Twig
Twigs are a type of detritus that serves no useful purpose, although the game states that catching twigs make good practice.[2]
Boot
Boots are discarded shoes that serve no useful purpose.[3] If more than one boot is fished up during the same gameplay cycle, the dialogue box will wonder why people even throw away boots.[4] Boots are the only junk which have two different dialogue boxes available when caught.
Wheel
Wheels are discarded broken wooden wheels that serve no useful purpose.[5]
Empty Can
Empty Cans are discarded tin cans that serve no useful purpose. If one is fished up, the dialogue box will express disappointment that the can isn't an empty bottle.[6] The Fishing Pond has a sign warning people not to throw empty cans into the water.[7] These cans are also an example of advanced technology contradictory to a medeival-themed environment, as tin cans weren't invented until the early 19th century.
One-time only junk
Empty Bottle
- Main article: Bottle
A small pool separated from the main Fishing Pond on the east side of the area has a usable empty bottle within it.[8] The Fishing Pond has a sign warning people not to throw empty bottles into the water.[7]
Sinking Lure
- Main article: Sinking Lure
The Sinking Lure can be fished up from one of two spots in the Fishing Pond after having caught at least one each of Hyrule Bass, Hylian Pike, and Ordon Catfish while lure fishing, and additionally having obtained the Coral Earring.[9] The Sinking Lure is one of only two things that require the Coral Earing to fish for, the other being Reekfish.
