Blind the Thief is originally disguised as a maiden which Link rescues from a cell in the dungeon. Upon being rescued he will ask Link to take him outside, then he will follow Link around for the remainder of the dungeon. When Link takes Blind into the boss room and exposes him to light, his true form comes out and the boss battle begins.

Boss Strategy

Blind will hover around either the top of the screen or the bottom of the screen, alternating, and shoot laser beams at Link. His head is the weak point and can be damaged with the sword. After a few sword hits, his head will split from his body and float around the room shooting beams at Link. A new head will grow from Blind's body and the battle will continue as normal, except with the original head flying around the room shooting beams. After taking more damage, the second head will split like the first one, and a third head will appear on Blind's body. After a few more sword strikes, Blind will be defeated.

Items

Titan's Mitt

"The Mighty Mitt
The Titan's Mitt from the thieves' dungeon allowed Link to lift large stones and huge steel blocks. With it, he was able to move heavy stones that had blocked access to some areas. In effect, the mitt opened whole new regions for exploration.
