===A Link to the Past===
==''A Link to the Past''==
[[File:Gibdo-1.png|left]]Gibdos first appear in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]]'' as [[Link]] is traveling through the [[Skull Woods]] Dungeon. Gibdos are mummified undead enemies that wander around. They will move in straight lines, slowly making their way towards Link. Their only form of attack is simply to run into Link.

Gibdos are mummified undead enemies that wander around. They move in straight lines, slowly making their way toward Link. Their only form of attack is simply to run into Link.


Despite their rather basic nature of attack, Gibdos can be quite difficult enemies. Usually they are found in rooms alongside a wide variety of enemies, including [[Wallmaster]]s and [[Bari (A Link to the Past)|Bari]]s. This makes battling them a bit hectic and if they do come into contact with Link, they'll do two full hearts of damage. Furthermore, Gibdo are some of the most resilient enemies in the entire game, needing eight slashes from Link's [[Master Sword]] to be defeated.

Given the fact that Gibdo's are mummies, they are vulnerable to Fire based attacks. Link can defeat a Gibdo instantly with one direct hit from his [[Fire Rod]].{{Ref|[http://www.zeldadungeon.net/gallery/displayimage.php?album{{=}}288&pid{{=}}8428#top_display_media A Link to the Past Instruction Manual], pg. 44|This bandage swathed menace is indeed powerful.

===Link's Awakening===
==''Link's Awakening''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|Link's Awakening]]'', Gibdos make an appearance quite frequently. They can be defeated with sword attacks, but when their bandages are set on fire, it is revealed that they are actually Stalfos.

If [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] gets caught in their line of sight, Gibdos will paralyze him for a few seconds, giving them a chance to get close and potentially jump on top of him, biting on him. Link can play the [[Sun's Song]] to stun the Gibdo momentarily, allowing him to sneak behind the enemy and deliver sword slashes. Alternatively, Link can also use [[Deku Nut]]s to stun a Gibdo. Outside of the cosmetic appearance, Gibdos are completely identical to [[ReDead]] in terms of functions.


If [[Link]] gets caught in their line of sight, they'll paralyze him for a few seconds, giving them a chance to get close and potentially jump on top of him, biting on him. To avoid that, try to sneak up behind them or use [[Deku Nut]]s or the [[Sun's Song]] to stun them, then simply attack them from behind.  
==''Majora's Mask''==
{{Tatl}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]'', Gibdos appear in [[Ikana Canyon]] surrounding the [[Music Box House]] and [[Beneath the Well]]. They transformed [[Pamela's Father]] into a strange half-breed between the two, forcing Link to heal him with the [[Song of Healing]], resulting in the [[Gibdo Mask]]. They use a horrifying glare to paralyze Link and then grab him, dealing heavy damage. When hit by a [[Fire Arrow]], they become [[ReDead]]s.
 
==''Oracle of Seasons'' & ''Oracle of Ages''==
In both ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons|Oracle of Seasons]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Oracle of Ages]]'', Gibdos can be found in various places. Their bandages can be set afire and burned away with the use of [[Ember Seed]]s, or they can be vanquished with Link's typical sword attacks. However, their movements are often unpredictable. If they do manage to hit Link, it deals a significant amount of damage.
 
==''Four Swords''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|Four Swords]]'', Gibdos can be spotted in [[Vaati's Palace]] and [[Talus Cave]]. If Link is caught in their line of sight, they will immediately pursue him. They will also shoot Like-Like like traps that suck you in, leaving you unable to move and vulnerable to attack. They also take quite a number of hits to defeat. Gibdos will often appear as traps after Link activates certain switches, but sometimes they will appear normally.
 
==''Four Swords Adventures''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', Gibdos can be located in [[The Desert of Doubt]]. Unlike other games such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Gibdos do not have the ability to paralyze Link. Upon being defeated, Gibdos sometimes become [[Stalfos]], and proceed to enter [[The Dark World]].


===Majora's Mask===
==''The Minish Cap''==
{{Tatl}}
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Gibdos appear in the [[Royal Crypt]] and in the [[Palace of Winds (The Minish Cap)|Palace of Winds]]. They attack by running up to Link and crushing him. Gibdos are among the most formidable enemies in ''The Minish Cap''. If a Gibdo actually grabs Link, it can deal up to four hearts of damage. If Link uses the [[Flame Lantern]] to burn their rags off, they turn into [[Blue Stalfos]].

==''A Link Between Worlds''==
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]'', Gibdos make an appearance similar to in ''A Link to the Past''. They still move slowly and deal decent damage, and remain resilient to slash attacks. They can be burnt with the [[Fire Rod]] or [[Lamp]] to burn the bandages off revealing [[Stalfos]] underneath. Any damage dealt will not remain meaning it will be replaced with a fully healed Stalfos. However, it will be much less resilient and deal less damage. The time it takes for the bandage to burn also allows players to turn their attention to other enemies or simply flee if needed.

===Four Swords Adventures===
The Gibdos from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom|Tears of the Kingdom]]'' appear around the [[Gerudo Desert]] and [[Gerudo Town]]. They are weak to elemental attacks such as Fire and Electricity, which effectively kill them in one hit. They are repelled by light; however, they are nigh invulnerable to other attacks. They drop [[Gibdo Bone]]s and occasionally [[Gibdo Guts]] which can be used in weapon fusion and elixirs respectively. The Gibdo can appear out of pods that can be destroyed with [[Riju]]'s lightning. These Gibdos undergo a departure from their previous look as bandaged cadavers. Instead of mummies, they now resemble insectoid humanoids, with a face resembling the mask of a [[ReDead]].
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', Gibdos can be located in [[The Desert of Doubt]]. Unlike other games such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Gibdos do not have the ability to paralyze Link.
