Boss of Jabu-Jabu's Belly. Keep moving and use the boomerang: first on the tentacles holding it to the ceiling, then on the Bari around it, then on the body, which can be slashed once it stops. Breaking the pots in the room gives recovery hearts. The book lists no safe spot.

Boomerang its roots, cut down the Bari around it, then slash its core.
Link used his boomerang to weaken the giant jellyfish's defense.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Official Nintendo Player's Guide (Nintendo of America, 1998), p. 61
Its main attack is electric. Once its armor is gone, stun it with the Boomerang and hit it with the sword.
Focus on hitting him with your Boomerang to stun him; then run over to deliver a blow or two with your sword.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Prima's Official Strategy Guide (Prima Publishing, 1998), p. 43
The boss is an electric anemone: cut its body from the ceiling with the Boomerang, destroy its arms, then deal with the rest. Ruto is waiting afterwards, cross that Link took so long.
Zunächst trennt Link mit dem Bumerang ihren Körper von der Decke ab, dann zerstört er ihre Arme und kümmert sich schließlich um den Rest.Der offizielle Nintendo Spieleberater: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo of Europe, 1998), p. 51, Translated by 101Leafy
