Damage to Link
Health Link loses when an attack of Blue Bubble 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | ½ | ¼ | Plain hit |
Drops
When Blue Bubble 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 in 16 | |
| 1 | 3 in 16 | |
| 1 | 1 in 16 | |
| 1 | 1 in 16 | |
| Nothing | 8 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.

A skull wrapped in blue flames, beaten like a Red Bubble: block it with the shield to put out the flames, then finish it.

The flying skull in the Spirit Temple is easiest to beat by stunning it with the Boomerang and then shooting it with the Slingshot; one hit sends it into the pit.
