which games have the best fishing mini-games, etc? the game CANNOT solely be about fishing.

- Final Fantasy XI (both pre and post fishing mechanics changes)
- Breath of Fire VI
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

I am a big fan of the fishing in Final Fantasy XV. I loved all the different lures and rods you could collect and the variety of different fish and areas to go fishing. The secret boss fish were also super cool.
