They look just like the ones Link had practiced with his sword on back at the Ordon village, only now they supply you with points and possibly a secret stage. A shot in the scarecrows pumpkin head will give you 100 points, but if you hit its bucket chest, the head will grow larger and increase the amount of points you receive by 100 points per hit. Once the bucket has been hit eight times, the head is huge, a ringing noise will be heard, and now when you hit the head you will receive 1000 points and possibly a second scarecrow.
