Navi's advice
It will hide in the grass if you get close to it. Bounce the nuts it spits back at it!

Damage
Deku Scrub can only be beaten with its own Deku Nut. Hold up a shield so the nut bounces back and hits it.
Damage to Link
Health Link loses when an attack of Deku Scrub 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
It also leaves this every time:
Recovery HeartYoung 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.

The most timid of the Deku Scrubs: it hides underground when Link gets close, so target it from a distance, raise the Deku Shield, and bounce its nut back at it.

Knock its nuts back at it; the scrubs in the basement must be hit in the right order.
Heeding Navi's advice, Link used his shield to repel the scrub's volleys.
