So you don't know about the
Wolfos? Lure it in and watch its movements. It doesn't like its tail to be touched...

Drops
When the Wolfos is defeated, one of 16 slots is picked at random, so each slot is a 6.25% chance.
These places use this table: Snowhead Temple
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
 Recovery Heart ×3 | 100% |
These places use this table: Snowhead Temple, Sakon's Hideout, Snowhead, Path to Goron Village
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
| Recovery Heart | 56.25% |
| Recovery Heart ×3 | 12.5% |
| What Link is short of | 6.25% |
| Nothing | 25% |
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 wolf-type monster. It is very fast, but its tail is its weak point. Make it miss with two attacks and it turns its back, so attack it then.
A sharp Sword to the backside is what it takes to rid yourself of this menace. Stand just far enough back from his claws to make him perform his Slash Attack. When his back is turned at the end of the attack it's your turn to retaliate.
