Drops
When the Skullfish is defeated, one of 16 slots is picked at random, so each slot is a 6.25% chance.
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
 Green Rupee | 12.5% |
| Depends on Link's form | 12.5% |
| Bomb (5) | 6.25% |
 Magic Jar | 6.25% |
 Magic Jar (large) | 12.5% |
 Recovery Heart | 12.5% |
| What Link is short of | 6.25% |
| Nothing | 31.25% |
Some of them use this table instead:
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
| Recovery Heart | 56.25% |
| Recovery Heart ×3 | 12.5% |
| What Link is short of | 6.25% |
| Nothing | 25% |
Some of them use this table instead:
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
| Magic Jar | 37.5% |
| Magic Jar (large) | 12.5% |
| Nothing | 50% |
Some of them use this table instead:

 Blue Rupee | 6.25% |
| Depends on Link's form | 12.5% |
| Bomb (5) | 6.25% |
| Magic Jar | 6.25% |
| Recovery Heart | 6.25% |

Link's form decides: 10 Arrows as Link, a Recovery Heart with the Zora Mask on, a Magic Jar with the Goron Mask on, and a Green Rupee with the Deku Mask or the Fierce Deity's Mask on.
What Link is short of decides, checked in this order: a Fairy at 1 heart or less, Recovery Heart ×3 at 3 hearts or less, Recovery Heart ×1 at 5 hearts or less, a Magic Jar (large) with magic below half, 30 Arrows with fewer than 6 arrows, Bomb (5) with fewer than 6 bombs, and a Red Rupee with fewer than 11 Rupees. Otherwise nothing.
Arrows need the Hero's Bow and bombs need a Bomb Bag; magic needs the magic meter. Without them that slot drops nothing. A Recovery Heart at full health becomes a Green Rupee.
Where to find it
Official guide
A bony fish monster. When it attacks you underwater you are nearly helpless, so get rid of it with the barrier while you swim.
If you swim in the waters of Termina, you'll likely encounter these skeletal fish. Use Zora Link's Barrier Attack to fry them to a crisp.
