The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Guide › Friends and Fiends

Mini-Game Characters

These characters are optional to interact with through Link’s journey. However, if you wish to collect every piece of heart or lost Maiamai, then you must play these characters’ games.

Fortune’s Choice Guy(Lorule)

This shifty-eyed miscreant is in charge of the game of Fortune’s Chance in Lorule. You have three choices to find the most valuable contents of several treasure chests. The cost of admission is high and the chances of winning are low, but there’s a piece of heart to be won.

Fortune’s Choice Guy (Hyrule)

Hyrule’s Fortune’s Choice Guy runs a simple game. Pay him 50 Rupees, and he’ll let you open one of two chests. One chest contains a Silver Rupee, while the other contains a Green Rupee. If lady luck is on your side, you’ll double your money!

Rupee Rush Gal/Rupee Rush Guy

These characters run the Rupee Rush game, with the girl in charge in Hyrule and the guy in Lorule. Your goal in their game is to collect as many Rupees as possible before the time runs out. Use your own stopwatch so you can get the best score to gain the piece of heart. Both games have a lost Maiamai within the game grounds.

Cucco Lady

This kind lady owns what seems like an unlimited number of cuccos. In her game, Link goes in a small cucco pen and must dodge all the cuccos that come flying at him. The game has different difficulty levels, and if you have accurate hand-eye coordination, you might win a piece of heart.

Tip

The music is a hidden clue. The two melodies will repeat, when the second begins to play again, that means you have one second left!

Octoball Players

These three children have found a way to have fun in the chaotic and cruel world of Lorule: the Octoball Derby. The team is made up of three players, one being the pitcher. This game is difficult, but it gets easier with practice. Find them in the clearing of trees in Lorule that used to be Gulley’s favorite hangout in Hyrule.

Treacherous Tower Lady

Find this woman in Lorule at the very top of Death Mountain. She resides at the entrance to the Treacherous Tower and appears to be quite lonely. She is very excited to see you and enjoys, a bit sadistically, your patronage. Her game can be very overwhelming unless Link is properly equipped. Take this mini-game on when Link has upgraded the Master Sword to at least level 2 and received the blue mail. Make sure you have upgraded the Ice Rod and Fire Rod too, which makes her game much easier. You can win a piece of heart as well as more Rupees than you will ever know what to do with. Complete the Advanced course twice to win the super net and super lamp.

The Hotfoot Brothers

These two brothers run a very challenging game. The premise of their game seems simple enough: run from one brother to the other across the map within a certain time. While it is possible to win the Beginner round without the Pegasus Boots, the harder levels require them.

Bee Man

This man loves bees more than anything. He even dresses like a bee! This man is grateful for any bees that you can bring him. He will be even more elated if you bring him a rare and precious golden bee! So keep your eyes open, your net ready, and an empty bottle in hand to profit from bee catching. Just make sure you get the snickering out of your system before you enter his home. It’s rude to laugh at people who are different than you!
