Thieves' Town

Explore Thieves' Town in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. Find Maimai, the Milk Bar, and the Item Seller before heading to the Thieves' Hideout dungeon.

Welcome to Lorule’s version of Kakariko Village. To reach here, just go one screen left of the Blacksmith’s house. Unlike its Hyrule counterpart, there are monsters prowling around (Moblins and Hyus) so keep vigilant as you explore. It is also the location of the Thieves’ Hideout dungeon, which we will tackle next. Before that, the tourist sights!

From the entrance, via the Blacksmith’s, dash at the tree just ahead to dislodge Maimai #64. Go left to find the Milk Bar, run by a lookalike of Ingo from Ocarina of Time–a foul man who doesn’t sell milk; how sad. Speak to the Bard to learn a bit about the town. Outside and to the left are a bunch of juicy rupees; merge through the gap in the north-facing wall to grab them.

Further left is a ruined house with Maimai #65 stuck on the wall–emerge behind it to get it off. Head up to find the village’s Masked Elder, plus a weather vane. Up from him is the Item Seller. Inside you can buy some items for your Bottle (including a Golden Bee for a wallet-busting 9999 rupees) or a Shield; speak to the freaky Bag Guy for more information about the town. Outside again, head right and you’ll find the hideout entrance; ignore it for now.

Why the heck would you buy the Golden Bee for 9999 rupees? To empty your pockets of course! Once you have 9999 rupees and obtained everything in the game, you can buy the Golden Bee to set your rupee count to zero, so you can collect more rupees (for example, from Treacherous Tower or StreetPass). Why would you want more rupees? There’s a rupee counter at the end of the game, which counts up to 99,999 rupees.

Make your way down from the hideout entrance and you’ll find a house; inside, speak to the Veteran Thief to pilfer some information. Right from the Veteran Thie
