ReDead in the OOT Remake

Home / Enemies / Redead

ReDead is the corpse that freezes you with a stare. The places Zelda Wiki names are the Royal Family's Tomb, the ruined market, the Bottom of the Well, and the Shadow Temple. The gaze stuns Link. A grab drains Link’s health. Sun's Song, the sword, Din's Fire, and Light Arrows are the answers I will print. The drop is hearts only. The Hall of Fallen Foes includes one.

The 2026 design note is not a new attack. Fujibayashi said an early version was a step too frightening and was pulled back, which GameSpot reported. TheGamer describes them as corpses. I keep "dialed back" as a director comment, not as a frame-by-frame diff. I do not tell you the scare was removed.

If you searched "how to not get stunned," Sun's Song is the tool both the wiki and the usual guide path name. Dead Hand is a different enemy in two of the same dungeons, and I keep their pages apart so the grab advice does not get mixed.
