Octoballoon

Where it is

From the official guides

Hurt it and it bursts, scattering small Octoballoons. Touching the small ones hurts Link, but left alone they vanish on their own.

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 balloon-like thing south of Lake Hylia. A set time after it shows up it bursts into small Octoballoons. Better to let it pass.
