Fishing video game

A fishing video game is a video game genre in which the player fishes. Usually they take the form of fishing tournaments. Many feature a wide variety of locations in which to fish, fish to catch, and fishing paraphernalia such as fishing rods, lures, and boats. Gameplay usually revolves around reacting quickly to an on-screen trigger that the bait was taken, along with some sort of button press sequence to reel the fish in.

Though not as prolific as other video games genres, fishing video games have historically been popular.[1]

Fishing minigames

Minigames of fishing are also common inside larger action-adventure games. The Legend of Zelda series is particularly famous for having a fishing minigame in The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
