Tektite

Where it is

From the official guides

Swing the sword near it and it dodges with a big jump like a flea. Corner it against a wall or get very close, or you will not land a hit.

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 little stink bug that lives at the top of Death Mountain. It jumps about, so it is hard to aim at. One arrow beats it, if you can hit it...
