'''Thieves' Hideout''' is a dungeon in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''. It is located in northern [[Thieves' Town]], and can be completed anytime after [[Link]] reaches [[Lorule]]. No item is required to enter or complete the dungeon. Link must travel through the dungeon in order to obtain [[Osfala]]'s Painting.  

1. a narrow path<br>

2. really despair<br>

Once Link properly answers these questions the [[Spear Boy|guard]] inside will open the door, allowing him inside. The guard will then leave the dungeon, allowing Link to fully explore the dungeon.  

The dungeon serves as more of a prison than a Hideout, and thus features many different traps and cells for holding prisoners. Unlike most dungeons, the boss door is only a few feet away from the dungeon entrance. The [[Big Key]] is in the same room as well, but cannot be reached without help.  

As Link explores the dungeon he finds many locked cells and areas that can only be entered with the help of his [[Merge]] ability. Much of the dungeon consists of steel grate pathways that are broken, due to deterioration over time or possible sabotage by the prisoners. In specific rooms there are many moving treadmills that will drag Link into deep gaps if he is not careful.  

Many areas of the dungeon contain hidden paths leading to treasure, often times within the walls themselves. The dungeon makes heavy use of certain switches that can only be activated with the help of the [[Thief Girl]]. Thieves' Hideout is one of the few dungeons to make use of [[Crystal Switches|crystal switches]], exactly like the ones found in the [[Tower of Hera (A Link Between Worlds)|Tower of Hera]].  

Much like the [[Gargoyle's Domain]] in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'', Thieves' Hideout involves rescuing a prisoner trapped in the depths of the dungeon. Once the girl is rescued from her prison cell, the dungeon and the dungeon's boss provide repeated attempts to steal her back, often times by spawning [[Zazakku]] to attack Link. If these enemies reach the Thief Girl they will automatically take her back to her cell, forcing Link to retrace his steps and rescue her again.  

 

These are the enemies you will encounter in Thieves' Hideout.

The [[Mini-Boss]] of this dungeon is a group of red [[Eyegore|eyegores]]. They can be difficult to defeat at first, but are easier to tackle if they are not all awakened at once. Once they are defeated a green portal will appear, and Link will be able to access a small key to open the prison of the [[Thief Girl]].
