Where it is

From the official guides

This one also lives in the secret passage of Hyrule Castle. Cut it with the sword without stopping it first and it often drops a heart, which makes it handy when Link is low on health.

A snake that crawls around the passages. It is fast but moves in straight lines, so you can see exactly what it will do. Best to wait for it with a Spin Attack charged.
