ReDeads are zombie-like creatures in the Zelda series. They emit a high-pitched scream and freeze Link in his tracks. While he is frozen they will hop on Link's back and do some sort of odd movement (possibly biting), and drain his health. A highly similar enemy, called a Gibdo, has appeared in many Zelda games, including Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask.

Appearances

Ocarina of Time

ReDeads made their debut appearance in Ocarina of Time. Their appearance is similar to that of a zombie. When Link approaches a ReDead, it will "screech" at him, immobilizing him temporarily, giving them a chance to jump on his back and start grappling him. This takes a ton of hearts away if you don't get it off fast enough. If this happens, and Link does get jumped on, you can mash buttons to try and remove it. They take a lot of hits to kill.

If you do not want to be stunned, you could stun them instead using either Deku Nuts or the Sun's Song.

Majora's Mask

Shake it off if you get caught!

ReDeads appear once again in the sequel to Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and they attack the same way. However, they will only attack Link in his Hylian or Zora forms. The reason for this is because, since Zora Link is so much like Adult Link, from Ocarina of Time, the animation for ReDead attacks was already done. Because the animation for an attack on Deku or Goron Link was not completed, the ReDeads would still screech, but they would not attack either of these two forms.

There are several ways Link can kill a ReDead. He can stun them with Deku Nuts or spin into them while wearing the Deku Mask, preventing them from attacking him. A Goron Pound is quite effective against them, as well as Zora Link's magic power. An even simpler way, however, is to just shine light on them using the Mirror Shield, which kills them instantly.

If Link wears either the Captain's Hat, the Garo's Mask, or the Gibdo Mask, they will dance around, in which case they will not attack him, no matter how much he attacks them. They usually drop quite a significant amount of Rupees when defeated, so you can use this to your advantage to stock up. Interestingly enough, if Link shoots a Gibdo with a fire arrow, they are revealed to just be ReDeads.

The Wind Waker

ReDeads in The Wind Waker are pretty much exactly like their Ocarina of Time counterparts. They attack by screaming, which immobilizes Link momentarily, giving them the perfect opportunity to jump on your back, dealing tons of damage in the process. Link can kill them fairly easily, however, as just a few sword slashes will do them in. If he shoots them with the Bow, Boomerang or Hookshot, they will just creepily stare at him. Link can actually stun a ReDead with the Mirror Shield, if there is a light in the room. This does make them significantly easier to defeat.

ReDeads are found in the Earth Temple, Savage Labrynth, Mrs. Marie's cabana on Private Oasis and several mini dungeons around the Great Sea.

Twilight Princess

Main article: ReDead Knight

The ReDeads in Twilight Princess are known as ReDead Knights and have many significant differences than that of standard ReDeads. They are much larger than ReDeads in any other Zelda game, as well as much creepier. Rather than attacking by jumping on Link's back, this variety screams at him, then hits him with a huge sword, dealing lots of damage in one shot.
