Blind the Thief in Thieves' Town
For The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo (SNES).
Where it is
From the official guides
This boss is a chore to make appear, but once the fight starts it is simple. Blind moves left and right along the top or bottom of the room, firing lasers and fireballs. Dodge them and slash at the head, its weak spot. After enough damage the head comes off, but a new one grows back after a while, so attack that one. It is safer to strike from above Blind. Fight with the Cane of Byrna running and it goes down easily.
How the fight goes
- Each hit refills his hit points, so only the number of hits counts.
- After 3 and after 6 hits his head comes off. Hit 9 beats him.
- A loose head spins as it flies around the room and hurts Link if it touches him. Every 32 frames it shoots a fireball, and one fireball in 5 is aimed at Link. Only the Red Shield and the Mirror Shield can block them.

Ohh, thank you very much! You saved my life. Please take me outside.
Err… Wait a minute… Please don't go this way.
Gyaaah! Too bright!

After the fight
Link, because of you, I can escape from the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! As the wise men sealed the way to the Dark World, the Knights Of Hyrule defended them from the attacks of evil monsters. I heard that the Knights Of Hyrule were nearly wiped out in that battle… You are perhaps the last one to carry on the blood-line of the Knights… It is ironic that the last one in the line has the potential to become the Hero of legend. Surely you can destroy Ganon!
