Drops
When the Black Boe is defeated, one of 16 slots is picked at random, so each slot is a 6.25% chance.
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
 Green Rupee | 12.5% |
 Blue Rupee | 6.25% |
| Depends on Link's form | 12.5% |
| Bomb (5) | 6.25% |
 Magic Jar | 6.25% |
 Recovery Heart | 6.25% |
| What Link is short of | 6.25% |
| Nothing | 43.75% |
Some of them use this table instead:
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
| Green Rupee | 6.25% |
| Recovery Heart | 12.5% |
| Magic Jar | 6.25% |
| Depends on Link's form | 6.25% |
| Nothing | 68.75% |
Link's form decides: 10 Arrows as Link, a Recovery Heart with the Zora Mask on, a Magic Jar with the Goron Mask on, and a Green Rupee with the Deku Mask or the Fierce Deity's Mask on.
What Link is short of decides, checked in this order: a Fairy at 1 heart or less, Recovery Heart ×3 at 3 hearts or less, Recovery Heart ×1 at 5 hearts or less, a Magic Jar (large) with magic below half, 30 Arrows with fewer than 6 arrows, Bomb (5) with fewer than 6 bombs, and a Red Rupee with fewer than 11 Rupees. Otherwise nothing.
Arrows need the Hero's Bow and bombs need a Bomb Bag; magic needs the magic meter. Without them that slot drops nothing. A Recovery Heart at full health becomes a Green Rupee.
The arrow that defeats it decides the drop, whatever the slot: a Fire Arrow gives 30 Arrows, an Ice Arrow a Recovery Heart, and a Light Arrow a Purple Rupee.
Where to find it
Official guide
A monster that is completely black. In the dark you can see only its eyes, which makes it a little troublesome, but the Spin Attack and the Deku spin attack work well.
These are annoying little creatures of the dark. You can easily dispose of one with a single Sword strike. They travel in packs, however, so watch out for the ones that sneak up behind you! With the Stone Mask, you can make them forget you are even alive.
