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
A young Dodongo that crawls out of the ground and charges. Step aside and hit it with the sword, then get away, because it explodes like a bomb when it dies.

One sword stroke beats them, but they explode, so keep clear; lure one in front of a walled-up door and hit it to blast the way open.
