The {{Term/Store|Mage|Mages|Series, FSA|plural}} are cloaked women that vocally support [[Vaati]] in {{FSA}}.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E |publisher= |page= 265}}</ref> They occasionally reward [[Link]] and thank him for freeing Vaati.<ref>{{Cite|You're the boy who awoke Vaati, aren't you?

The '''Mages''' are cloak-cladden women that vocally support [[Vaati]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]''. They occasionally reward [[Link]] and thank him for freeing Vaati.<ref>"You're the boy who awoke Vaati, aren't you? Thank you very much! You've made the world a better place for our kind!" — Mage ([[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]])</ref>


The mages appear in various levels throughout the game, giving bits of advice. For example, one of the mages, in [[Kakariko Village]], charges Link 100 [[Force Gem]]s for a [[Fortune Teller|fortune]] that may ironically warn of impending bad luck. Comically, she then robs Link of 300 further Force Gems. However, this mage may, instead, give Link 1, 200 or 300 Force Gems (after the initial fee of 100), but it is hardly worth it, as the risk is far greater than the potential reward. A guild of secret agents called the [[Seeker's Guild]] exist to investigate the mages' connection with the strange disappearance of the children in the [[Village of the Blue Maiden]]. They discover that the mages have a shallow connection, but should not be suspected as accomplices in the children's disappearance.

Despite supporting Vaati, they are not harmful enough to be considered enemies. One mage gives Link a [[Moon Pearl]],<ref>"You want a Moon Pearl? I suppose it's the least I can do after everything you've done for me." — Mage ([[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]])</ref> another gives him the [[Magic Book]] and requests him to give it to [[Iris|her apprentice]], and one mage, who claims having created the [[Magic Medallions#Bombos Medallion|Bombos]] and [[Magic Medallions#Quake Medallion|Quake Medallions]],<ref>"We magic users have enchanted two types of medallion. These medallions instantly alter the shape of an evil presence or make it vanish." — Mage ([[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]])</ref> allows Link to use a Quake Medallion. One of the mages owns a [[Shooting Gallery]] in the Village of the Blue Maiden.

[[File:VaatiTransfigured.gif|left|90px]]
During [[Four Swords Series|''Four Swords'' series]], the evil wind demon Vaati is seen as personifying the [[Eye Symbol]] with his one giant stylized eye. Although the form Vaati took after his transformation is reminiscent of the [[Sheikah]], he is revealed to be of [[Minish]] descent. However, since the Sheikah are known for their skill in magic and as the only real Sheikah known is a [[Impa|female]], it is interesting to note that Vaati is supported by this group of female mages. Like the one in Kakariko Village, [[Madame Fanadi]], a suspected Sheikah from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' who shares traits with Impa in the [[Oracle Series|''Oracle'' series]], is a [[Fortune Teller]].


==Trivia==
==Nomenclature==
The [[Fortune Teller]] from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' shares her appearance with the mages.
The definition for mage is "a person educated in the magical arts".
