Damage to Link
Health Link loses when an attack of Big Poe 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.

A giant Poe in adult Hyrule Field, found by riding Epona through set spots. Chase it and hit it with arrows; bottle its soul and take it to the Ghost Shop in Castle Town.
