Go To

Zoro: Well, there you guys are. What took you?
Cloud: You left.
Zoro: Left? I did not.
Cloud: You keep doing that.
Zoro: Hey, it's not my fault this country's so damn convoluted!
Cloud:...It's not. It's mostly rubble.

John said to John
"I think we make a left at the light
There should be a big 'B'
Assuming this map is right"
John looked over and he said,
"Hey, no it's not
It's a crumpled-up wrapper
From the fast food that we got"
They Might Be Giants, "They Got Lost"

Indy: We have to get to Marcus before the Nazis do.
Henry: But you said he had a two day head start. That he would blend in, disappear.
Indy: Are you kidding? You know Marcus. He once got lost in his own museum.

Celica: Anyway, I'll go and meet with Kagura now.
Ragna: Yeah... You can get to the branch by going straight along this road. Got that? Straight ahead. No matter what happens, don't turn, and just go straight, understand?
Celica: You're repeating yourself again. You don't have to tell me, I'll be fine.
Ragna: Please. Just do it.
Celica: Yeah, leave it to me. Here I go!
(...)
Celica: Oh, Minerva. Wouldn't this road be a shortcut?
Ragna: Wait, wait, wait, waaaaait!

Kageaki: I hope you'll let us take you there.
Sakurako: ...Thank you. That would be most helpful.
Kageaki: [some time later]...I can't believe I forgot about your disease.
Ichijo: I- I don't have a disease! it's just... plate tectonics! Yeah! It's screwing with my calculations! If the earth would just stop spinning...
Kageaki: ......
Kageaki (Narrating): Somehow, Ichijo managed to take one lost woman and two prospective guides and transmute that into three desperately lost souls. She has some potential as an alchemist.

"I have what doctors call 'directional insanity'. I once got lost on an escalator."
Chidi, The Good Place

The Link in question was the Hero of Hyrule, a somewhat short boy with dark brown hair, a roundish nose, and quite possibly the worst sense of direction in the universe.
One of the better examples of this was the quest he was currently on. He'd met a woman named Impa, who'd turned out to be in the employment of Princess Zelda, who'd been kidnapped. Link, being an agreeable boy, had agreed to search for the missing Princess and free Hyrule from monster influence along the way.
That had been two years ago.

The drive out of the Geo-Front took about thirty minutes, then another twenty to head out of town on the empty highway. Her sense of direction was famously bad, and often the butt of jokes among her staff, but Misato had no problem finding the right exit despite not being familiar with this area. The huge neon sign in purple and day-glow green helped, too.

For a time, it was even popular to use the wind vestal to deem whether a day was fortunate or not in the Temple of Wind.
If the wind vestal could find her way to the altar without getting lost, it would be a good day, or so it was said.
For some reason this form of fortune-telling seems to be catching on in Gathelatio as well, but using the pope instead.
...Oh. Ohhh. N-never mind.
Agnès Oblige, formerly Vestal of the Temple of Wind, currently Pope of the Crystal Orthodoxy, Bravely Second

And I say north is where I want it to be!

"Umm, which way is left and right?!"
Vestia Zeta, 2023 hololive New Year Cup intro

Mii A: You know the way back?
Mii B: Not a clue!

Luffy: How did you know where to find me?
Zoro: I didn't. I thought I was headed back to the house.
One Piece (2023), "The Pirates Are Coming"

Wicca: Hey, Zoroland! We're about to take a left turn up ahead. If you don't remember, left is the side you don't carry your swords on.
Zoro: You think I'm too stupid to know right from left?
Wicca: Yes!
One Piece, Episode 652 - "The Last and Bloodiest Block - Block D Battle Begins"

"No way... I flew as fast as I could... I tried so hard to find you, but I didn't even know where the High Chapel was...!"
Lilli to Spiritia, Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel
