Navi's advice
Draw it close to you and watch its movement carefully! Attack it when it drops its guard!

Damage to Link
Health Link loses when an attack of Wolfos 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.

| 4 | ¼ | ⅛ | Plain hit |
Drops
When 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.
| Item | Count | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 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.

A wolf with sharp claws. Target it with the shield up and strike the moment it raises its arms; a spin attack helps when several come at once.
