Thieves' Town

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past guide · Fourth Dark World dungeon

Thieves' Town is the fourth dungeon of the Dark World, located under the gargoyle statue in the Village of Outcasts. Link navigates its multi-floor maze to rescue a captive maiden and retrieve the dungeon's treasure. Bringing the rescued maiden into the boss room reveals her true form as the boss, Blind the Thief.
