Drops

When the Real Bombchu is defeated, one of 16 slots is picked at random, so each slot is a 6.25% chance.

DropChance
Green Rupee6.25%
Recovery Heart12.5%
Magic Jar6.25%
Depends on Link's form6.25%
Nothing68.75%

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.

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.

Where to find it

Official guide

A monster with a bomb hanging from its tail. When it spots Link, it charges straight at him and blows itself up. You can block it with your shield.

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

One meeting with these mice and you'll understand where Bombchu come from. The only way to defeat these mice is from afar (or wear the Stone Mask to escape their notice altogether). Once they see Link, the bombs on their tails ignite and they'll do anything (including crossing water) to get to Link and explode.
