Damage to Link

Health Link loses when an attack of Bigocto 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.

Drops

When Bigocto is defeated, the game picks one of 16 slots at random, so each slot is a 1 in 16 chance. Some slots hold nothing.

ItemCountChance
Recovery Heart316 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

A giant octopus in Jabu-Jabu's Belly that circles the floor. Walk against its direction to face it so it turns around, then hit its back with the Boomerang and cut its rear.

Stun its back with the boomerang, then use the sword.

A direct hit stunned the monster long enough for Link to dash up and hack at him with his sword.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Official Nintendo Player's Guide (Nintendo of America, 1998), p. 61

A huge water creature met where Ruto vanished; hit its big nose with the Boomerang, then its rear with the sword, and after a few hits it gives up.

Mit dem Bumerang gibt er der Kreatur einen gehörigen Schlag auf die große Nase, und mit seinem Schwert versohlt er ihm den Hintern!
