Where to find it

Official guide

A giant octopus-type monster. Get too close and it sucks you in. Its shell is hard, but its main body under the water is its weak point.

ゼルダの伝説 ムジュラの仮面のすべて (エンターブレイン, 2000), p. 189: Translated by 101Leafy

The Big Octo is a larger, more dangerous version of the Octorock. When you encounter these in the Woodfall Swamp Area, keep your distance! You'll have to wait until you have the Bow.
