Ambiguously Canon Information

Ancient Stone Tablets

In Ancient Stone Tablets, the Fortune-Teller finds the Hero of Light when he arrives to Hyrule. He, alongside Aginah, gives hints on the weather and effects that happen during each week.

Cadence of Hyrule

In Cadence of Hyrule, there are four Fortune Tellers that are scattered throughout Hyrule. They are elderly women whom can be seen constantly weaving quilts shaped like pieces of the Triforce with their eyes closed.[2] Three of them can be found in red, blue, or green huts with red flags marked with the Crest of the Sheikah out front, where they sell Heart Potion and Stamina Potions in cauldrons, which can be scooped up with an Empty Bottle. They can also foresee into the future at the price of 10 Rupees, and paying them will have them to mark a spot on the map to tell the heroes where they need to go, along with providing more information on Octavo and why Hyrule is in chaos[3]. However, it seems that their powers are growing weak without their magical thread, which Octavo stole in order to make his lute[4][5] as they cannot see that far into the future without it.[6] Though the effects on their powers vary by individual, as the Fortune Teller of Wisdom can't see into the future for a very long period of time while the Fortune Teller of Courage can still see twenty-five years into the future, which is considered not very distant.[7]

The fourth Fortune Teller can only be found in Hyrule Castle after Link, Princess Zelda, or Cadence jumps into the portal to travel to the future, where she sells potions at the price of diamonds. She also runs a special shop in a heaven-like place where adventurers with unfinished business end up[8], selling Heart Containers, weapons, and equipment that fallen heroes can bring with them when they return to Hyrule[9].
