Breath of Fire: Ryū no Tsurishi (lit. Breath of Fire: Dragon Fisherman) is a fishing game based on the minigame from Breath of Fire IV. Players control the character Ryu through a closed environment containing a lake, which they can fish in using 20 different kinds of lures and 6 separate rods. As the player approaches an area of water they can cast from, an indicator appears altering them that they may fish from that spot. The game contains 34 different species of fish for the player to catch, each with their own weight which can be recorded as a high score, as well as the fish merchant Manillo, who can provide the player with new equipment by trading in fish from their stock. Like the previous game, Ryū no Tsurushi was released exclusively for Japan.
