Where it is

From the official guides

It hops along diagonally with its huge mouth open. It does not seem to care at all when Link is near and always does just as it pleases.

A big-mouthed flower that hops wherever it likes. Its attack is the only strong thing about it. Pin it with the boomerang and keep cutting it with the sword. Repeat.
