Blue Tektites can be defeated by attacking them with your sword.  They only appear in the water.

Business Scrubbs can be defeated by blocking their attacks with your Deku Shield.  They will be bounced back at the Business Scrubb, and after being defeated, the Business Scrubb will try to sell you stuff.

Lanmola

To defeat the Lanmola, slash it with your sword. 

Club Moblin

The Club Moblin slams a huge club into the ground, which sends a shock wave straight at Link.  To defeat him, run towards him, but not directly, run diagonally alternating from left to right in order to dodge the shock waves.  When you get behind him, just slash Club Moblin with your sword a few times, and he will be defeated.

Deku Baba

To defeat Deku-Baba, slash it with your sword.  If you slash it when it's standing straight up, you'll usually get a Deku-Stick.

Deku Scrubb

To defeat the Deku Scrubb, equip the Kokiri Shield, and Z-target the Deku Scrubb.  Hold out your shield to block it's attacks, and they will be reflected back at the Deku Scrubb.  It will go running off, so run into it, and it will talk to you and give you hints.

Dinolfos

To defeat the Dinolfos, wait for it to attack you while you hold out your shield, and then quickly slash it with your sword.  Repeat this a few times until it's defeated.

Dodongo

Defeat the Dodongo by slashing it's tail.  It will turn towards you and breathe fire at you, just dodge this.  Hit him in the tail two more times, and he will be defeated.  You can also drop a bomb in front of them, and hope they swallow it.  After being defeated Dodongos explode.

Dodongo Larva

Just slash a Dodongo Larva with your sword to defeat it, then quickly run away as they explode a few seconds after being defeated.

Fake Doors

In some levels, when you try to open a door, it will attack you. Smack the door with the Megaton Hammer or drop a bomb on it to defeat it.

Floor Master

To defeat a Floor Master, attack it with your sword.  It will split into three smaller ones that can also be defeated with sword attacks.  If the floormaster is green, don't waste your time, as it is invulnerable for the moment.  Once the floormaster has split into the three smaller ones, defeat them quickly, because they will turn back into a big one if ALL of them aren't defeated quickly.  Sometimes the floormaster is invisible.  If you take damage, but can't see any enemies, use the Lens of Truth, you'll be able to see the Floor Master then.

Flying Bottles

The best way to defeat a flying bottle is just to dodge it.  When it runs into a wall, it's destroyed.  You can also hit it with a weapon, but dodging it is a lot easier.

Ghoma Larva

When you're fighting Queen Ghoma, she drops some eggs to the ground when she's walking on the ceiling.  After a few seconds, they hatch into Ghoma Larva.  The easiest way to defeat them is to slash the eggs with your sword, since each egg only takes one hit to defeat.  If the eggs hatch, then go ahead and attack the Ghoma Larva themselves with your sword.  It only takes a few hits.

Green Flaming Skull

To defeat the Green Flaming Skull, let it run into your shield.  The green fire around it will disappear.  The skull itself will bounce around the floor.  Just slash it with your sword a few times to defeat it.

Guay

To defeat a Guay, wait for it to fly low, and slash it with your sword.  If it's far away, try to aim an arrow at it.

Ironknuckle

To defeat an Ironknuckle, first cast Naryu's Love to protect you.  Then attack it with your sword.  If you have Biggoron's Sword, use it, since you're invulnerable as long as Naryu's Love is in effect.  If you need health, whenever the Ironknuckle slashes a pillar in the room with it's axe, hearts will appear.

To defeat Leevers, attack them with your sword.

To defeat the Lizalfos, wait for it to attack you while you hold out your shield, and then quickly slash it with your sword.  Repeat this a few times until it's defeated.

Red Flaming Skulls jump out of the Lava in some levels.  Just avoid them, since they're never in the way, and attacking them causes too much of a risk of falling in the lava.

Re-Dead

Shabom

Slash them with your sword.

Shell Blade

These are a pain, Link always fights them underwater, which means the only weapon he can use is the Hookshot or Longshot.  Wait for the Shell Blade to open up, and immediately attack with the Hookshot.

Skull

Attack it as it bounces around the room.

Skulltula

Attack with the Boomerang, Slingshot, or Bow & Arrows.

Spikes

Avoid them.

Spike Balls

Like the Shell Blades, Spike Balls only appear underwater.  If you leave them along long enough, the spikes retract, and they form a ball.  Attack that ball with either the Hookshot or the Longshot.

Stalchild

Attack with your sword.

Stalfos

Attack the Stalfos with your sword either when it's raising up it's sword to attack, or just after it's swung it's sword at you.

Tektite

Attack them with your sword.  Z-targeting helps a lot.

Torch Slug

Attack the Torch Slug with your sword.

Wallmaster

When you're in a room where Wallmasters exits, Navi will tell you.  Watch for it's shadow, and make sure you're constantly moving.  It will drop and hit the floor instead of grabbing you.  When it hits the floor, just hit it with your sword a few times.  If the Wallmaster grabs Link, it will take him to the dungeon entrance.

Wolfos

When they get ready to attack, hit them with your sword.
