Biography

Madame Fanadi lives in Castle Town in her fortune-telling palace, where she tells Link his fortune on either "Career" or "Love" for 10 Rupees.[1][2] Choosing "Career" makes Fanadi reveal how to advance in the game; while selecting "Love" leads the fortune-teller to show Link the location of a Piece of Heart.

Trivia

  • The eye symbol on Madame Fanadi's forehead resembles the Eye Symbol of the Sheikah.
