I'm having serious problems with catching Neptoona and finding the Beedle ship when he wears the golden mask. It first started with the problem of catching a rusty swordfish. I only have 1. I'm at the Temple of the Ocean King for the fifth visit after getting the last sea chart(so yes, I'm pretty far along). Near the beginning of the game when first presented with the fishing quest, all seemed fine until after I got my one and only rusty swordfish. That's because the swordfish shadow has only appeared ONCE throughout my game. I can't even catch a rusty in the regular fish shadow. In order to catch a Neptoona I need a swordfish shadow which I lack.

I have YET to come across the beedle ship when he wears the mask. Again, I'm at chapter 9. So I'm unable to get needed items from them. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I had a glitch in Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time where one of the poe ghost was stuck in a tree and everytime I hit it, it said I was hitting the tree so I couldn't get the item for collecting all the poe ghosts. That was just an example of another glitch that kept me from fully completing the game with all items.
