Template:Character The Storytelling Creatures{{{2}}} are five strange characters in A Link to the Past. Found in the Dark World, they give Link tips for 20 Rupees. If Link pays, they also refill all of his hearts.

The small octopus is found in a cave, exactly where the Sanctuary is in the Light World, and talks about the cursed Great Fairy within the Pyramid of Power.[1] The plant-like creature, found near the Palace of Darkness (where Sahasrahla hides in the Light World), tells his story about Ganon's curse over the Golden Land for free. The bird-like creature, in a cave south of the Palace of Darkness, talks about the circle of stones in Lake of Ill Omen.[2] The insect-like creature is found in a cave in the Swamp of Evil (where Aginah is in the Light World) and tells Link to use the Ether Medallion to clear the rain in the mire.[3] The hand, found in a cave located where the Ice Rod is in the Light World, is a former thief and talks about another former thief specialized in the picking of locks.[4]

Trivia

Targets similar in appearance to the small octopus and the hand are found in the Shooting Gallery.

One of them was a master locksmith, but now he is hiding the fact that he was a thief... by pretending to be a strange middle-aged guy! Ha ha ha..." — Strange Creature (A Link to the Past)
