There are several varieties of fish in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. It can be difficult to tell them apart, or to remember where you found one variety or another. However, some types are definitely more useful than others. Here is our guide on where to find and farm Hearty Bass in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Tears of the Kingdom – where to find and farm Hearty Bass

You can use Hearty Bass to make some excellent dishes for Link’s consumption. Eating them will add temporary hearts that boost his life meter beyond its normal limit. They’re also required to upgrade the Zora armor set to its third level.

To find and farm Hearty Bass, check in the Sky Islands. They are located on two particular islands you can access by launching from towers.

The West Hebra Sky Archipelago is the easiest place to find and farm Hearty Bass. You can access it from the Rospro Pass Skyview Tower. Launch from the tower and glide north. I had to grab onto a column that extended downward from the bottom of the island. Then I used the Arise ability to reach its top side.

Once you are on the island, activate the Ijo-o Shrine so you can fast travel there conveniently in the future. Then check the upper and lower pools of water to find several fish on a single visit.

You can also farm Hearty Bass on the Necluda Sky Archipelago. Launch from Rabella Wetlands Skyview Tower to reach it. The archipelago is then to the northwest, but too high to reach. Fortunately, a high waterfall extends from it. While wearing the Zora armor set, aim for that waterfall. When you connect with it, swim upstream to reach solid land.

On the Necluda Sky Archipelago, you’ll find a lot of valuable resources, including the desired Hearty Bass. There also are several Fairies circling around the pool. However, I still find the first island more useful for farming Hearty Bass.
