If Link stole something from Koholint Island's Town Tool Shop in Link's Awakening, he would be called "THIEF" instead of the player's chosen name for the rest of his journey, even by the Great Wind Fish. If Link sets foot again in the Shop, the shop owner kills him using a magical electric attack. However, if the user saves the game after being killed, Link will respawn inside the shop, and will be able to visit that shop for the rest of his journey. To steal an item, Link must pick up an item, but just walk out the shop's door instead of taking it to the owner. This is a cheaper way of obtaining the 980-Rupee Bow.

In Link's Awakening DX, the Photographer happens to take a photo of the very moment Link sneaks out of the shop.

In Twilight Princess, after scooping the necessary refills in a bottle in Trill's Shop in Faron Woods, Link is expected to pay for the his refill near Trill in a box he provides. If Link leaves without paying, the bird will label Link as a "thief" and peck him every time he enters his store. Link can come back to the store anytime and scoop Trill's wares without payment, however, the bird will stop pecking Link when he finally pays for what he took.
