{{Q|Somewhere out there, there's this tree with star-shaped fruit...and the fruit represents an unbreakable connection. So as long as you and your friends carry good luck charms shaped like it, nothing can ever drive you apart. You'll always find your way back to each other.|Aqua, explaining the Wayfinders' effect and appearance.}}

A {{nihongo|'''Wayfinder'''|つながりのお守り|Tsunagari no Omamori|lit. "Connection Charm"}} is a star-shaped lucky charm that is used to provide luck to travelers. It is usually woven from [[Thalassa Shell]]s, with some token at the middle, but there have been several imitations made from other materials throughout the series. It is designed after the [[paopu fruit]], which is said to tie friends together. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', the bond that the charms represent is manifested physically as the [[Dimension Link]] system.

Due to their special significance to relationships, Wayfinders are used as the [[Keychain]] token for the [[Oathkeeper]], the [[Brightcrest]], and the ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' version of the [[Ultima Weapon]], and are also part of the base design of that Ultima Weapon.

[[Aqua]] creates three Wayfinders for [[Ventus]], [[Terra]], and herself, and presents them to the others the night before she and Terra take the [[Mark of Mastery exam]], explaining the folklore behind the paopu fruit, and voicing her wish that they will always stay together. She jokingly apologizes for not being able to use the traditional Thalassa shells, and points out the Mark of Mastery emblem she had woven into the center, explaining that she had worked some magic on the charms to make up for their non-traditional composition. This spell is soon revealed to be the source of the heroes' [[Dimension Link]] ability.

In [[Deep Space]], [[Stitch]] sees Terra's Wayfinder and builds a replica out of space junk, in order to demonstrate his understanding of friendship. Unfortunately, his Wayfinder is destroyed when he is attacked by [[Gantu]]. Some time after the final battle at [[Keyblade Graveyard]], Stitch escapes into space in a stolen spaceship, with a fully-repaired Wayfinder at his steering wheel.

Kairi's Wayfinder is made of Thalassa shells that are pale yellow toward the center and pale pink toward the tips. The shells are held together by grey, X-shaped stitches. The token in the center is a brown crown somewhat similar to the one on Sora's necklace. The topmost shell on the charm has a simple, brown drawing of Sora's face drawn by Kairi and a chain attached to its tip. During Sora's visit to [[Castle Oblivion]], Naminé temporarily transforms Kairi's Wayfinder into a simple yellow star, but eventually changes it back.

Aqua's, Ventus's, and Terra's Wayfinders are made from stained glass with silver frames, and have brown stitches and a brown cord tied to the topmost shell, and the token is the Terra's Mark symbol. Because Aqua did not have access to actual Thalassa shells, the charms are made from other materials. The token is silver on Aqua and Ventus's Wayfinders (tinted purple for Aqua and green for Ventus), but gold on Terra's. Aqua's "Thalassa shells" are predominantly blue with cyan tips, Ventus's are light green with sea green tips, and Terra's are orange with yellow tips. A second, smaller star made of a rainbow of stained glass materials is attached to the opposite end of the cord.

Stitch constructed his own Wayfinder out of junk, with a glowing, light green star as the center token. The five pieces of the Wayfinder are held together by short rods, and no two pieces are alike. The largest is teardrop-shaped with a lower half that is sky blue with light purple "stitches", a salmon pink upper half, and light green circle in between the two halves. One piece resembles Stitch's blaster and is yellow with some small red additives. One piece is roughly diamond shaped with a yellow and red tip and a sky blue base. The smallest piece is teardrop-shaped, salmon pink, and has a sea green "X" near its tip. The last piece is a misshapen oval with a sky blue upper half and a light purple lower half with "stitches" of the same color lining it.
