Poe

Where it is

From the official guides

A ghost that wanders around the graveyard. It drifts about, so it is hard to hit with the sword. Ignore it, or throw a rock or the like at 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. 99, translated by 101Leafy

A ghost drifting around the graveyard. It floats toward you, wobbling. Good manners are to wait for it and lay it to rest in one hit with a rod.
