Popo

Where it is

From the official guides

A strange monster that lives in the Eastern Palace. It moves slowly and one sword hit beats it, so take out two or three at once.

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. 100, translated by 101Leafy

A weak enemy that crawls along the passages. There are two kinds, slow and fast. One swing of the sword clears it away, so it is less trouble than an obstacle.
