'''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 make their debut appearance in ''Ocarina of Time''. Their appearance is very similar to that of a zombie. When [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]] approaches a ReDead, it emits a scream, immobilizing him temporarily, giving them a chance to jump on his back and start damaging him. This can damage Link greatly in a short amount of time, dealing half a heart of damage roughly every half-second. If this happens, the best way to escape is to rapidly press the A button to try and get out of its grip. They take several hits to defeat.

 

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

ReDeads appear once again in the sequel to ''Ocarina of Time'', ''Majora's Mask'', and they attack the same way. However, they only attack Link in his [[Hylian]] or [[Zora]] forms. The reason for this is since [[Zora Mask|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 Mask|Deku]] or [[Goron Mask|Goron]] Link was not completed, the ReDeads would still screech, but they would not attack either of these two forms.

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 (The Wind Waker)|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.

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 (Twilight Princess)|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.
