What?! Don't you know about the Dodongo? It moves slowly, so you can circle around to its backside. Got that?

Drops
When the Dodongo is defeated, one of 16 slots is picked at random, so each slot is a 6.25% chance.
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
 Blue Rupee ×3 | 56.25% |
 Red Rupee | 43.75% |
It can also drop:
Purple RupeeArrows 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 giant lizard-type monster that breathes fire. Its tail is its weak point, but watch out: when it takes damage, it strikes back by swinging its tail around.
Send these giant fire-breathing lizards bombs from afar. You can also attack their lightly armored tails if you dare venture closer—watch out for their fiery breath and spiked tail, though!
