Anubis
Anubis is an enemy in Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64 with 1 health.
Anubis has no health to wear down: one hit of fire, from Din's Fire or a fire arrow, burns it away.
Navi's advice
It's vulnerable to fire!

Damage to Link
Health Link loses when an attack of Anubis hits him, one line per attack strength, 16 points to a heart. Once a Great Fairy strengthens Link's defensive power, the damage is halved, rounded up.
| Damage | Hearts | Double Defense | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | ¼ | ⅛ | Sets Link on fire |
While Link burns he loses 1 point every 8 frames (0.4 seconds). Standing still, the flames last up to 10 seconds, so a full burn costs up to 25 points, about 1.5 hearts. The faster Link moves, the sooner they go out, and in the Goron Tunic they are out within half a second. Double Defense does not lower these 1-point losses.
Drops
When Anubis is defeated, the game picks one of 16 slots at random, so each slot is a 1 in 16 chance. Some slots hold nothing.
| Item | Count | Chance |
|---|---|---|
 Blue Rupee | 3 | 7 in 16 |
 Red Rupee | 1 | 7 in 16 |
| Red Rupee | 3 | 2 in 16 |
Young Link gets Deku Seeds where adult Link gets arrows, and the other way round, and an adult's Deku Stick turns into a green Rupee. Bombs, arrows, seeds, and magic only drop once Link has the bomb bag, the bow, the slingshot, or magic, and a recovery heart at full health turns into a green Rupee.
In the official guides
Mirrors Link's moves and breathes fire when cut. Fire is its weakness: lure it over a burning torch or use Din's Fire or Fire Arrows.

Moves as Link moves; lure it into a wall of fire or hit it with Fire Arrows.
Perhaps by moving somewhere in the room he could lure Anubis into the fire, Link thought, glancing at the far-left ledge.

Sends out streams of fire and is weak to fire.
These hovering, snake-like creatures attack with streams of fire, but are vulnerable to fire themselves.

The fire-breathing mummy in room 4 copies Link's moves in mirror image. Beat it with Din's Fire, or walk it in front of the locked door and hit the crystal switch with the Slingshot so the fire burns it.
