Hinox

For The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo (SNES).

From the official guides

It has an unusual amount of stamina, but it is weak to blasts. Stop it with the boomerang and put a bomb at its feet right away, and it goes down easily.

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. 103, translated by 101Leafy

It throws bomb after bomb. It can take more of a beating than most, so bombs work better than the sword. An eye for an eye.
