Sand Crab

For The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past on the Super Nintendo (SNES).

Where it is

From the official guides

Being a crab, it is faster moving sideways. Standing right beside it is the easiest way to get rammed, so dodge by moving up or down.

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 crab that moves side to side near rivers. Come at it from the front and cut it with the sword. Coming from the side, watch out for its body. That hurts.
