Fortune-Teller

Fortune Tellers have appeared in several games since the introductory title, The Legend of Zelda. The only similar trait among most of them is the requirement of paying Rupees for a cryptic fortune. The fortunes are intended to function as an aid on Link's current quest task.

A Link to the Past
A few Fortune Telling shops can be found around Hyrule, in both the Light World and the Dark World, in A Link to the Past. One north of Kakariko Village, another beside the Lake Hylia Shop Cave along the northwestern shore of Lake Hylia, and a third north of the Village of Outcasts. This fortune teller charges between 10 and 30 Rupees and hopes Link will be healthy at the end of the fortunes told. At this point, all of Link's hearts refill.

Four Swords Adventures
In Four Swords Adventures, a mage in Kakariko Village charges Link 100 Force Gems for a fortune. This fortune warns of impending bad luck, then she robs the Link of all Force Gems. If Link has only 100 Force Gems before talking to her, the mage gives him one Force Gem at the end of the fortune.

Twilight Princess
The Career Fortune offered by Madame Fanadi in Twilight Princess is much like the Fortunes of A Link to the Past, in which she advises on current quest requirements. The Love Fortune serves merely as a guide to finding Piece of Heart.

Phantom Hourglass
Found on the Isle of Ember in Phantom Hourglass, Astrid like most other fortune tellers of the Zelda series offers advice on where to go next or what needs to be done to progress further into the game.
