Fortune's Choice
Fortune's Choice is a Mini-Game in A Link Between Worlds.[name references needed]
Overview
Fortune's Choice appears in corresponding locations in both Hyrule and Lorule, inside a house in Kakariko Village and Thieves' Town, respectively. Each Mini-Game is run by its respective world's Fortune's Choice Guy.
Rules
Both Mini-Games task Link with simply opening his choice of Treasure Chest(s) from a group of available Chests. He wins whichever prizes have been randomly assigned to the Chest(s) he opens. The available prizes are pre-determined.
Hyrule
In Hyrule, Fortune's Choice costs 50 Rupees and allows Link to open one of two Treasure Chests.
# | Prize | Rupee Value |
---|---|---|
1 | Silver Rupee | 100 |
1 | Green Rupee | 1 |
Lorule
In Lorule, Fortune's Choice costs 200 Rupees, and Link gets to open three of the 15 Treasure Chests. One of the prizes is a Piece of Heart which, after being collected once, is replaced with a Gold Rupee in subsequent plays.
# | Prize | Rupee Value |
---|---|---|
1 | Piece of Heart | - |
2 | Gold Rupee | 300 |
3 | Silver Rupee | 100 |

Trivia
- Statistically, the average winnings in Fortune's Choice in Hyrule is 50.5 Rupees—only 1% greater than the cost to play—meaning that Link would just barely break even by playing the Mini-Game repeatedly.
- The average winnings in Fortune's Choice in Lorule, after the Piece of Heart is collected, is 252.6 Rupees; over 26% greater than the cost to play. This makes Lorule's version of the Mini-Game more profitable to Link.
