Make Them Swallow Bomb Flowers

You can also throw a Bomb Flower on them while they are inhaling air so that they can swallow it. It will explode once they inhale the Bomb Flower so this method is highly effective in killing them if you do not have arrows.

Destroy the Rock on Its Head

Destroy the rock attached to its head with any Blunt (Ore Breaking) weapons to force the Octorok out of the ground for a short time, giving you an opportunity to finish it off with your melee attacks.
