A Deal’s a Deal
Back in Thieves’ Town, the Thief Girl proves to be as good as her word. She leads Link to a small house that was always locked before. Inside the house, Link discovers a precious heart container and the painting of Osfala, Sahasrahla’s headstrong apprentice. Collect the heart container, then touch Osfala’s painting to rescue the Sage!
Osfala’s Rod
Upon touching Osfala’s painting, Link and the Sage are both whisked away to an otherworldly realm. Osfala now realizes that Link is indeed the hero of legend, and gladly parts with the Sand Rod he’s been holding onto all this time. Score!
Rented Sand Rod
If the ground in front of you is sand, you can conjure up a giant wall! Cost: 30 Rupees.
After speaking with Osfala, step into the portal that appears to return to Thieves’ Town. Before Link can act, Ravio’s assistant, Sheerow, suddenly swoops by and snatches away the Sand Rod. Why, that little...!
Reclaim the Sand Rod
Fly to the Vacant House and save your game before slipping through the fissure to return to Hyrule. You’ve got to get that Sand Rod back!
Back in Hyrule, save again and then enter Link’s House to visit Ravio. Sure enough, the Sand Rod is now on display. Buy the Sand Rod if you’ve got the Rupees; otherwise, simply rent it for now. It’s the last of Ravio’s tools!

The Thief Girl’s Hideout
After reacquiring the Sand Rod, travel back through the fissure to return to Lorule. Save at the Vacant House, then go south, into the Southern Ruins. Look for a cave along the Southern Ruins’ north wall.
This cave was empty before, but now it’s home to the Thief Girl. Well, it sure beats that smelly prison cell! Chat up the Thief Girl, then open the chest that she’s so kindly prepared for Link as thanks for her rescue.
