Gibdos make their first appearance in the original ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]''. They can be found in [[Level 5: The Lizard|Level 5]] and [[Level 8: The Lion|Level 8]] in the First Quest, and [[Level 2: The Moon|Level 2]], [[Level 4: The Snake|Level 4]], and [[Level 7: The Demon|Level 7]] in the Second Quest. They require multiple hits via the [[Magical Sword]] to be vanquished. If they manage to hit [[Link]], they deal a tremendous amount of damage.{{Ref|[[:File:The-Legend-of-Zelda-North-American-Instruction-Manual-Page-37.jpg|The Legend of Zelda Instruction Booklet (US NES Version), pg. 37]]|The Mummy Man.

Despite their rather basic nature of attack, Gibdos are 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 will do two full hearts of damage. Furthermore, Gibdos are some of the most resilient enemies in the entire game, needing eight slashes from Link's [[Master Sword]] to be defeated. | Despite their rather basic nature of attack, Gibdos are quite difficult enemies.

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|[ | Given the fact that Gibdo's are mummies, they are vulnerable to fire-based attacks.
