Where to find it

Official guide

You cannot attack it while it is invisible, so block and wait for it to appear. You can put the soul it leaves behind in a bottle.

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. 191: Translated by 101Leafy

These ghosts can be very shy if you target them (with Z). Hit them with a Sword when they spin close or use arrows to take them out from afar. You can only inflict damage on Poes when they are visible.
