Link can use the Mirror Shield to reflect light onto them, allowing him to quickly attack before they become mobile again. They cannot be fooled by walking slowly, and will always attack once Link comes within range.Īs in Majora's Mask, they are weak to light, however this will not kill them but briefly stun them. Unlike those of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, these ReDeads do not appear to be blind, as they will look up at Link whenever he moves close to them in fact, while their eyes are initially black and lifeless, they glow red to signify their gaze attack and advance upon their target. Instead of draining his life, they will bite down and deal only one Heart-worth of damage before releasing him, but will quickly try to attack again. Their method of attack is the same as their earlier incarnations, often hiding in coffins and leaping out when Link gets too close. They mainly appear in the Earth Temple, as well as in the Ghost Ship, the Savage Labyrinth, Ganon's Tower, and unusually in the sewer tunnels of the Private Oasis.

In The Wind Waker, ReDeads appear significantly different as turquoise, skeletal beings with earrings. Their icy cold gazes paralyze their victims with fear. These undead creatures live only in the darkest depths of the earth. The Wind Waker ReDead ( Figurine from The Wind Waker) Gibdos can have their bandages burned away to reveal a ReDead underneath. They also retain their weakness to fire, and can be defeated with the Fire Arrows. ReDeads in Majora's Mask are weak to beams of light reflected off of the Mirror Shield, which will kill them instantly. While wearing any one of these masks, Link can freely attack the ReDeads with ease, so long as he keeps the mask on. A Gossip Stone offers a possible explanation of this peculiarity by stating that the ReDeads of Ikana Castle were once a troupe of performers. While ReDeads will continue to utilize a paralyzing gaze and slowly approach Link when he comes close, if Link wears the Garo's Mask, Gibdo Mask, or the Captain's Hat, the ReDeads will inexplicably dance and ignore him. In Majora's Mask, ReDeads appear mostly the same as in Ocarina of Time, although with several differences, particularly in their behavior and weaknesses. They are also weak to fire-based attacks, such as Din's Fire or the Fire Arrows.

ReDeads in Ocarina of Time are quite susceptible to the Sun's Song, which will paralyze them for a short while when played. This behavior is never explained in the game, although plausible explanations could be that they are mourning its death or even consuming its corpse.

When a ReDead is slain, any other ReDeads in the area will walk towards and crouch beside the fallen ReDead until its body fades away, ignoring Link and making killing the whole group easier. ReDeads are quite slow, both in motion and recovering from an attack, making them fairly easy to slay, particularly if Link can get behind them. Interestingly, Link cannot become paralyzed in areas with a fixed camera position, namely Castle Town's market, possibly because of the way the camera usually zooms in when the monsters use their gaze attack. If Link takes out or puts away any weapon, or runs near them, they will hear him and attempt to paralyze him with their vivid gaze. Link can walk by slowly or with the Iron Boots equipped to pass by unnoticed. ReDeads, however, have a flaw in that they are blind. Once released from their hold, Link can either strike back with the Sword or run away to attack from a safer distance.

Link will then have to struggle free with a series of A and B-Button presses. When Link is within their range, they will paralyze him with a bone-chilling gaze, jump onto his back if close enough, and gradually drain his health by squeezing and biting him. ReDeads can either be found idly standing slightly hunched over or sitting crouched down in the fetal position, until Link approaches, at which they will rise and slowly shuffle towards him. They can later be found in Castle Town's ruined market place, presumbly as the town's deceased residents, and at the Bottom of the Well and inside the Shadow Temple. ReDeads are encountered the earliest inside the Royal Family's Tomb, where they gather in a chamber leading to the room where Link learns the Sun's Song. They usually appear in small groups or sometimes alone in dead or ruinous places, such as tombs or dungeons, and make their presence known with periodic, low-pitched moans. In Ocarina of Time, ReDeads are brown and wear wooden masks.
