Damage to Link
Health Link loses when an attack of Gohma Egg 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 Gohma Egg 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 | 2 in 16 | |
| 1 | 2 in 16 | |
| 1 | 2 in 16 | |
| What Link needs most | 1 | 1 in 16 |
| Nothing | 4 in 16 | |
| Nothing | 2 in 16 |
What Link needs most is checked in this order: a fairy at one heart or less, three recovery hearts at three hearts or less, one at five hearts or less, a large magic jar when the magic meter is empty, a small one when it is half empty, Deku Seeds or arrows when Link has fewer than 6, bombs when he has fewer than 6, and a red Rupee when he has fewer than 11 Rupees. If he has enough of everything, nothing drops.
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.

Eggs laid by Gohma inside the Deku Tree. Target them and crush them with the shield up before they hatch into larvae.

If Link takes too long Gohma drops eggs from the ceiling; they should be destroyed before the larvae hatch.
