Meg

Meg is an enemy in Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64 with 10 health.

Navi's advice

If she splits into multiple images, you need to figure out which one is the real one. Is it this one?

Hits to defeat it with each weapon: damage calculator

Damage to Link

Health Link loses when an attack of Meg 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 Meg is defeated, the game picks one of 16 slots at random, so each slot is a 1 in 16 chance. Some slots hold nothing.

ItemCountChance
Bundle of arrows (5)18 in 16
Bundle of arrows (10)14 in 16
Bundle of arrows (30)13 in 16
What Link needs most11 in 16

It also leaves this every time:

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

The eldest Poe sister. She splits into four and circles Link, but three are fakes; the real one spins once when they appear. Shoot it with arrows or the Hookshot, or clear the fakes with a spin attack.

Four Poes hold the torches of the Forest Temple.

After three Poes were defeated and their flames appeared in the central chamber, the fourth Poe appeared there, as well.

The last ghost hides among copies of herself; the real one spins on the spot when they all appear. Arrows finish her.

Aber Link fällt auf, daß sich einer der Geister um die eigene Achse dreht, sobald sie alle erscheinen.
