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.
