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.

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.

Green Rupee12 in 16
Deku Nut12 in 16
Recovery Heart12 in 16
What Link needs most11 in 16
Nothing4 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.

In the official guides

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.

Läßt sich Link zu lange Zeit, produziert die Spinne Eier, die sie von der Decke fallen läßt.
