Mages

Mages are a group of characters from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. They appear in various levels through out the game giving bits of advice. They look very similar to the Fortune Tellers from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

They appear most frequently in the Village of the Blue Maiden where Link gets a deeper insight to them. They appear to be magic users who are happy that Vaati is now released and praise Link who was the one that unknowingly released him. The Seekers Guild suspect the Mages are to blame for the disappearance of the children in the village and investigate them. They discover that the Mages knew something about the disappearances of the Seven Maidens and are innocent of the children’s disappearance.

Despite the fact that the Mages follow Vaati they help him several times through out the stage. One gives him a Moon Pearl needed to open a Moon Gate. Another gives Link the Magic Book to give to another Mage, Iris.
