Damage to Link
Health Link loses when an attack of White 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.
| Damage | Hearts | Double Defense | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | ½ | ¼ | Plain hit |
Drops
When White 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 in 16 | |
| 1 | 3 in 16 | |
| 1 | 1 in 16 | |
| 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.
In the official guides
Floats like a will-o'-the-wisp and cannot be hurt while moving and trailing light. Hit it with the sword when it stops in the air, or use the bow.
