Buzz Blob

Where it is

From the official guides

An odd monster found all over. Cut it with a low-level sword and Link takes the damage instead, so use arrows, or stop it first and then cut it.

ファミコン通信編集部責任編集 ゼルダの伝説 神々のトライフォースのすべてがわかる本 (アスキー, 1992), p. 102, translated by 101Leafy

A wiggly green enemy found near lakes and rivers. With any sword up to the Master Sword, cutting it gives you a shock back. Use arrows.
