>>714023725dark cloud 2 is the reigning champion of fishing minigames
>can fish in literally any body of water instead of the designated minigame zone, different spots have different fish>has both the action based timing/mashing in a rhythm/adjusting for how the fish moves stuff but also rpg elements from leveling up your fishing rod and needing a variety of baits for different fish types>both a "catch the special magic fish" sidequest and a recurring in-game fishing contest that give you gameplay rewards>once you catch a fish instead of just having to toss it back in you can eat it as a way to get cheap healing items or you can raise it in an aquarium and race it against other fishits fun for all the reasons fishing minigames are fun, it has its own goals so you have a reason to do it, and it also benefits the actual 'main' game without being something required the way you want to catch fish in zelda for a heart piece
