Blind's Hideout

In the middle of the Village of the Lost (the Dark World version of Kakariko Village) is a gargoyle with a large pitchfork. Link tries pulling on the pitchfork, which comes off, revealing the entrance.

Besides the usual hazards, a few bunnyizers, and some horse-like monsters, this labyrinth is fairly unremarkable. Except... the room where the boss is supposed to be is empty. From the floor above, Link can blow a hole in the floor, casting sunlight into the room, but it's still empty.

Link finds another telepathic tile...

リンク…私よ、ゼルダよ…。
盗賊ブラインドの魔術にまどわ
されないで!気を付けてね。
Link... it's me, Zelda...
Don't be misled by the thief Blind's black magic! Be careful.
Link... It's me, Zelda...
Don't be deceived by the magic
of Blind the Thief! Be careful!

In the basement, Link finds the big chest (surrounded by hammerable barriers in a room with a collapsing floor).

パワフルグラブを手に入れた。
おもくて、かつげなかった       powerful gloves
くろいイシも かつげるぞ!
I got the Powerful Gloves.
I can even carry the heavy black stones I couldn't carry before!
You got the Titan's Mitt!
Now you can lift the heaviest
stones that were once
impossible to budge.

And so he can. Links hands now appear green as a small visual indication that he's wearing the gloves.

In a jail cell, Link finds a maiden.

ふう ありがとうございます。
助かりました。どうか
そとまで連れていって下さい。
Phew, thank you.
I'm saved. Please take me outside.
Ohh, thank you very much!
You saved my life. Please take
me outside.

She starts following him. But shouldn't she be trapped in a crystal like the others? And if Link tries going outside...

あっ、… まって下さい。
そっちへ行かないで…。
Ah... please wait.
Don't go that way...
Err... Wait a minute...
Please don't go this way.

Between Zelda's warning and all the strangeness, Link realizes something's wrong. He tries taking the girl, whoever she really is, to the boss room and into the sunlight...

ぎぃやぁぁぁ~!
ま、まぶしい~っ!
Giiyaaaah!
B, blinding!
Gyaaah!
Too bright!

And Blind reveals his true form... a floating sheet with a head...? Anyway, it flies around shooting fireballs, and Link hits it until the sheet drops to the ground and the head flies around by itself, still spewing fireballs at random. The sheet floats back up with a second head, and Link takes this one off too. A third head appears, and Link gives it more of the same, and Blind finally dies.

Explosion, heart container, crystal.

リンク あなたのおかげで
魔族の手から、のがれる事が
できました。ありがとう…。      crystal
7賢者が、闇世界との通路を
封印する時、魔族の攻撃から
賢者達を守ってくれたのが、
ナイトの一族でした。その時の
たたかいで、ナイトの血すじは
ほとんどたえてしまったと、
きいていたんだけど…。
たぶん、あなたはナイトの血を
ひくさいごの1人…。
そのさいごの1人が『勇者』と
なる力を秘めていたなんて、
ふしぎな事ね。
あなたなら、きっとガノンを
倒せるわ!
勇者の行く道がトライフォースイ
へと、みちびかれますように。
Link, thanks to you, I was able to escape from the clutches of the demon. Thank you...
When the Seven Sages sealed the passage to the Dark World, it was the Knight Clan who protected the sages from the attacks of the demons. I have heard that in the battle then, the bloodline of the Knights nearly died out...
You are perhaps the last one to carry the blood of the Knights...
It is curious that the last one would have hidden in him the power to become the "Hero".
You can surely beat Ganon!
May the road the hero travels be guided to the Triforce.
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!
May the way of the Hero lead
to the Triforce.
