Rusty Swordfish

Rusty Swordfish are a huge, maroon type of fish found in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass catchable while fishing that usually gets to be over ten feet long. They are with a prominent pattern of stripes on their backs, and are so large that Link cannot catch them (and will not even see them) until he has obtained the Big Catch Lure from the Old Wayfarer. True to their size, they are extremely powerful, and also prone to jumping when almost fully reeled in. Once one is caught, showing it to the Old Wayfarer will cause him to congratulate Link for reeling in such a "backbreaker" and tell him the legend of the giant Neptoona. They appear rarely in the smaller fish shadows, but usually appear in the rare larger swordfish shadows.
