Jabu-Jabu accepts a free Hylian loach from Lake Hylia
Players can give Lord Jabu-Jabu a Hylian loach as the offering needed to enter his belly in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. The fish can be caught in Lake Hylia without spending rupees, making it the cheapest route to the dungeon. Catch one before approaching Jabu-Jabu, then present it as the offering. The loach is also the target of the optional Sinking Lure, which can make the catch easier.
Why it matters
Jabu-Jabu's belly holds the Spiritual Stone of Water, so players need to complete the offering requirement before they can reach the dungeon and rescue Princess Ruto. Several walkthroughs cover the belly's bosses and puzzles, while Polygon and se7en.ws focus on obtaining the fish. The available material does not specify the exact fishing spot or the required number of catches.
