| - The protagonist can gain access to the fishing mini-game by talking to the old man facing the riverbed from May 1st onward. Telling the old man that the protagonist enjoys fishing will allow the old man to give the protagonist ten fish bait as a starter, and teaches him the technique of fishing. The protagonist's Diligence plays an important role during the fishing mini-game, as his Diligence level determines how many fishing attempts he can do, with a maximum of 5. Fishing also takes up the whole Afternoon or Evening, depending on the time. Fishing requires bait, which can be obtained from cooking meals at the kitchen or from the housewife outside Dojima's Residence. More bait may also be obtained by trading with the old man, with the fish required varying by month. To fish, the player press the "O" button whenever the fish hook sinks, and continue mashing the "O" button to bring the fish in. The fish will generate different vibration intensities of the controller before pulling on the line. The lightest pulses will be from the Red Goldfish, Amber Seema, or Inaba Trout. Moderate pulses will be generated by the Genji Ayu and Huge Fish. And the largest, unmistakable pulse will be generated by the Guardian. If the player is looking for a particular fish, they can press the "O" button before the float sinks to try again, without wasting a bait. Larger types of fish will randomly generate another button for the player to press. Different types of fish appear depending on the weather as well as the month. Chances of larger fishes appearing are higher on rainy days. Below is a list of fish types: Note:
* The Guardian can only be caught with the Angler Fish set obtained from the old man during "Quest 48".
