Hits to defeat it with each weapon: damage calculator

Damage to Link

Health Link loses when an attack of Red Bubble 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 Red Bubble 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
Deku Seeds	1	3 in 16
Deku Nut	1	3 in 16
Deku Stick	1	1 in 16
Recovery Heart	1	1 in 16
Nothing		8 in 16

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.
