ReDead: Difference between revisions

'''ReDeads''' are recurring enemies in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They emit a high-pitched scream and freeze [[Link]] in his tracks. While Link is frozen, they grab hold of him, and drain his health. A highly similar enemy, called a [[Gibdo]], has appeared in many ''Zelda'' games.

ReDeads can be stunned with either [[Deku Nut]]s or the [[Sun's Song]], both which act as great weapons against them.

If Link wears either the [[Captain's Hat]], the [[Garo's Mask]], or the [[Gibdo Mask]], they start to dance around, in which case they do not attack him, no matter how many times he attacks them. They usually drop quite a significant amount of [[Rupee]]s when defeated, so Link can use this to his advantage to stock up. If Link shoots a [[Gibdo]] with a fire arrow, they are revealed to just be ReDeads wrapped in cloth.

ReDeads in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|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 his back, dealing tons of damage in the process. Link can defeat them fairly easily, however, as just a few sword slashes do them in. If he shoots them with the [[Bow]], [[Boomerang]] or [[Hookshot]], they 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 (The Wind Waker)|Earth Temple]], [[Savage Labyrinth]], [[Mrs. Marie]]'s cabana on [[Private Oasis]], the [[Ghost Ship (The Wind Waker)|The Wind Waker]] and several mini [[dungeon]]s around the [[Great Sea]].

{{Main|ReDead Knight}}

The ReDeads in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' are known as [[ReDead Knight]]s and have many significant differences from that of standard ReDeads. They are much larger than ReDeads in any other games. Rather than attacking by jumping on Link's back, this variety screams at him, then hits him with a large sword, dealing a significant amount of damage in one hit.

ReDeads also make an appearance in the Nintendo 3DS title, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes|Tri Force Heroes]]''. They appear in the [[Lone Labyrinth]] and the [[Grim Temple]], of the seventh area of the game, [[The Ruins]]. They once again attack by screaming at their victims to immobilize them for a short time and jumping on their backs to suck the life out of them. However, in this game, ReDeads no longer have legs, but instead, a partially melted body that slides around, similar to [[Dead Hand]]. To attack, the ReDead first must be stunned by the [[Gust Jar]], [[Gripshot]], or [[Fire Gloves]]. If not stunned they will bury themselves into the ground and dodge the attack.
