Rat

Where it is

From the official guides

A rat that lives in the secret passage of Hyrule Castle. It moves fast, so guess where it is heading, get there first, and attack. You can also stop it with the boomerang.

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 rat that runs all over underground. It is dark down there, so one coming up from behind is a pain. One swing of the sword beats it, so do not run, take it on.
