Drops

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

Red Rupee17 in 16
Red Rupee32 in 16

It also leaves one of these, set for each one in the game:

It gives back the shield or tunic it swallowed:

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

A tube-shaped monster that swallows Link and eats his tunic and shield. Beat it quickly to get them back.

Eats Hylian Shields and Goron Tunics. Fight it with the Bow or the Hookshot.

It's the Like Like, and it has a tremendous appetite for Hylian Shields and Goron Tunics.
