Witch


 * Not to be confused with Syrup.

The Witch, also known as Mapes in Lorule, is a character in.

Hyrule
The Witch is the grandmother and teacher of Irene. She operates the Witch's House near Zora's Domain, where she sells various Potions in exchange for ingredients, though she can sell Link a Red Potion for 50 Rupees without ingredients. If Link speaks to her and tells her he's simply saying "hello," the Witch will give the young hero a taste of her Potion, which restores 8 Hearts.

After Link obtains all three Pendants of Virtue, Irene goes missing. If Link visits the Witch's shop, she will tell the young hero that Irene was attacked by Yuga and transformed into a Painting. She tells Link that she keeps herself busy to prevent herself from worrying too much about her granddaughter. When Irene is rescued, the Witch thanks Link and says she is forever indebted to the young hero.

The Witch had a crush on the Fortune-Teller, but her heart was broken when he told her that the man she fancies doesn't return her affections during a reading.

Lorule
The Witch's Lorulean counterpart is found north of the Lorulean Blacksmith's home within the Fortune-Teller's tent. She brags to Link about her lover, the Fortune-Teller, indicating that unlike her Hyrulean counterpart, she managed to form a significant relationship with him. The Fortune-Teller affectionately calls her "Mapes." Because of her relationship, she considers herself the most fortunate witch around.

The Witch tells Link that her fortune said that she will have good luck if she makes Purple Potion, but she admits her reluctance because of the ingredients found in the Potion. Similarly to the Blacksmith's Wife with Gulley, the Lorulean Witch has no knowledge of Irene.

Trivia

 * The Witch bears many similarities to Syrup, who is also a teacher of a young witch and also lives in the Witch's House. However, given the fact that they behave differently and have different granddaughters, it can be assumed that they are not the same character.
