Drops
When the Stalchild is defeated, one of 16 slots is picked at random, so each slot is a 6.25% chance.
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
 Green Rupee | 6.25% |
| Depends on Link's form | 12.5% |
 Magic Jar | 6.25% |
 Recovery Heart | 18.75% |
| What Link is short of | 6.25% |
| Nothing | 50% |
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.
Where to find it
Official guide
A skeleton monster, the changed form of the dead who left something unfinished. Easy to defeat with your sword. With the Captain's Hat you can also talk to them.
These skeletal remains pose little threat to a seasoned warrior like yourself. If you have the Captain's Hat, you can skip the battle and even talk to it.
