Quote from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap Acro-Bandits figurine:

"Appears in the Eastern Hills, ect. Five of them pop out at once. If you smack each one as they pop out of the ground, they’re a piece of cake."

However, if you kill the one that looks around before he pops up, the job is done.
