Big Octo (Great Sea)

Big Octos are large squid-like creatures that inhabit the waters of the Great Sea and will appear if Link sails nearby. Their locations are marked on the Sea Chart after getting the Octo Chart. Two have 4 eyes, two have 8 eyes, and two have 12 eyes. To defeat one, shoot and destroy all of its eyes.

Each one will appear in a whirlpool, which will act as the initial challenge to killing a Giant Octo. Whirlpools can be spotted by the large number of Seagulls flocking around an area. As the Octo surfaces, the whirlpool pulls Link and The King of Red Lions into it's mouth. If all of its eyes are not destroyed before reaching the center of the whrilpool, the Big Octo will suck Link up and spit him out. Link will land in a random area on the Great Sea.
