The dungeon is located beneath the Gargoyle in the center of the [[Village of Outcasts]]. The entrance to Thieves' Town is the same place where the [[Weathercock]] is in [[Kakariko Village]], and is protected by the prongs of the Gargoyle's trident which can be pulled off from the entrance. | The dungeon is located beneath the Gargoyle in the center of the [[Village of Outcasts]].

To escape this maze, [[Link]] must obtain the [[Big Key]]. Once Link makes it through the maze, he finds the boss room straight ahead, however, unlike all other boss rooms Link has entered prior, it is empty, with no monster to be found, nor the [[Maiden]] he is searching for. Instead he must travel through the rest of the dungeon, which contains a horde of monsters and a number of traps and conveyor belts designed to halt Link's progress. | ||
Deep in the dungeon's basement Link can obtain the [[Titan's Mitt]] and also discover numerous jail cells. Far at the back of these cells lies a captive young girl, seemingly one of the Maidens Link must rescue, yet not trapped in a Crystal. Instead, she asks for Link to take her outside.<ref>{{Cite|Ohh, thank you so much! You saved my life! Please take me outside.| | Deep in the dungeon's basement Link can obtain the [[Titan's Mitt]] and also discover numerous jail cells.

If Link leaves her behind, she will return to the cells below. With seemingly no way to escape with her, Link discovers sunlight beaming in from barred windows on the top floor of the dungeon, and a cracked floor above the boss's lair. By throwing a [[Bomb]] onto the floor, he causes the light to travel from the floor above down to the center of the room. | ||
