Low on hearts means the warning beep is on: half a heart or less when Link has 3 to 5 hearts in all, 1 heart or less with 6 to 8, 2 hearts or less with 9 to 11, and 3 hearts or less with 12 to 14.

Each of these kills also counts toward a Piece of Power.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Player's Guide, p. 99.

These aquatic spiders are vulnerable only when they're in shallow water. Wait for them to reach the shallows, then attack them with the Sword.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Player's Guide, Nintendo of America, 1993, p. 99.

A one-eyed water strider that glides across the water. Link can't attack while swimming, so wait for it in the shallows and strike there.
