Drops

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

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.

The doors slam shut and this mid-boss appears; not a frightening enemy, but Link must wait patiently, and one blow at the right moment beats it.

Der Weiße Wolfsheimer ist kein allzu furchterregender Gegner, allerdings muß Link die nötige Geduld walten lassen.
