  2. That man is the Former Thief in the Desert of Mystery. He won't talk while his sign is up; take the sign and he speaks.
  3. He offers to open a chest if Link keeps his past a secret. Promise, then bring the chest to him.
  4. He opens it, and Link gets a Magic Bottle.

What they say

Former Thief

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Why did you take my sign? It says plain as day to just leave me alone! Sheeesh!

I heard that you know I used to be a thief, right? Well, I'll open a chest for you. Will you keep it secret from everyone else? Would you please promise? ▶ Promise not to tell Tell it to everyone

All right, bring that chest over here... Seriously, keep this a secret from everyone.

Remember, you promised... Don't tell anyone.

OK, if that's the way you want it, I hope you drag that chest around forever!

Storyteller

Heh heh. Thank you. To tell you the truth, I used to be a thief in the Light World... Some of my fellow thieves went into hiding because they were afraid of being caught. One of them was a master lockpicker, but now he is hiding the fact that he was a thief... ...by pretending to be a completely average guy! Ha ha ha... Hey! It almost sounds like like I'm giving you a hint!
