The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet (Nintendo of America, 1987), p. 36

Monsters that have big ears but their weakness is loud noises. So far the only way you know to attack one is to surprise him by making a loud sound. There will be other opportunities to attack him but you must use your own imagination. Even if you don't come up with any new ideas to attack him, you can always try the sword.

A big-eared ghost that leaps at anyone who comes near. Its attack is strong too. Beating it with the sword takes a lot of work and it looks like real trouble, but there is a much quicker way. Its ears are big, so it is weak to loud sounds. So if you use something...?
