'''Thieves''' are [[human]] enemies that try to steal treasure from [[Link]] by bumping into him, which knocks the treasure everywhere for them to pick up.

==History==
===''The Legend of Zelda'' series===
====''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]'', thieves are recognizable by their long, olive-colored hair and angry faces, and appear only in the [[Lost Woods]]. They can be knocked back or stunned by any of Link's weapons but cannot be defeated, nor can they damage Link when they scatter his [[Rupee]]s. A friendly thief with red hair can be found and spoken to in a tunnel under a hollow tree stump, which is said to be their secret hideout, and tells Link one of their members is said to be staying near the entrance to the [[Desert of Mystery|Desert]]. A yellow-haired thief operates a treasure chest minigame. They seem to be part of a group formerly led by [[Blind the Thief]]. In the dark world, their counterpart is the [[Pick]], which appears in the [[Thieve's Town|Village of Outcasts]].

====''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures''====
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]'', thieves appear in the corrupted [[Kakariko Village]], where they now steal [[Force Gem]]s, but otherwise act the same. Now when they are stunned, they can be picked up and thrown, which must be done to get all of them into a pen. Most of them can be recognized by their red bandanas, causing them to somewhat resemble [[Jim]] of the [[Bombers]]. Three, however, look like normal townsfolk, being a young girl, an adult, and an old man. Once all of them are captured, the person inside the nearby house takes down his fences so the Links can continue. Additionally, [[Tingle]] complains of a thief stealing his Force Gems in [[Tingle Times]]: Volume 6, which is located at the entrance to the village.

====''The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds''====
Thieves as enemies do not appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]''. However, the [[Shady Guy]]'s design seems to be inspired by that of the thieves in ''A Link to the Past'', due to having similar hair and features. His counterpart, the [[Thief Girl]], wears a mask of the Pick once she escapes the [[Thieves' Hideout]], referencing how they were the thieves' counterpart.

===''BS Zelda no Densetsu Inishie no Sekiban''===
In ''[[BS Zelda no Densetsu Inishie no Sekiban]]'', thieves have dull red hair and appear in dungeons to sell things. The first one appears selling groups of ten [[arrow]]s for 50 [[Rupee]]s in the [[Eastern Palace]]. Another is in charge of the [[Shooting Gallery]] minigame, replacing the [[Ghostly Proprietor]]. Yellow-haired thieves appear in caves and tell Link things, similar to in ''A Link to the Past''. Sometimes, they give Link large quantities of Rupees, akin to [[Secret Molblin]]s.
