Say what you want about Wind Waker's cartoony art style, but those Redeads are hands down the freakiest. The exaggerated teeth, the piercing, elephant scream, the way they slowly turn to look at you with those dead, vacant eyes... Those things had me filled with dread.
I remember when i first encountered these things. They scared the living hell out of me. I'm glad they barely show up in Zelda games. They still creep me out a bit. Very nice video, btw.
@@NautilusBarce Man, I am glad all of us have shared nightmarish experiences. Was probably 7 years old & stepped out to the Market as Adult Link. I remember it clear as day!

my childhood zelda was ocarina of time, so those redeads traumatized me. that said, i still avoided the redeads as much as the game would allow me, and kill them from afar.
@@angelofdeath275 just play the sun's song in front of them (even if redeads were sitting) and they will freeze, and just go spam your sword in they're back and redead is dead now. Also sun's song Freezes gibdos in ocarina of time
The Triforce Herores Redeads were actually a lot of fun to battle, you just needed trustworthy friends to help you when you got caught. Oot definetly scared me the most tho
Redeads are usually associated with dark secluded places heavily associated with the dead. We didn't really encounter any areas fit for a redead in botw outside of hyrule castle and maybe the thyphlo ruins or the lost woods. Botw 2 looks like it'll have more of these areas so it's a possibility, but I get the feeling they may still not show up as it might be difficult to make them work in an open world setting.
I encountered Wind Waker's Redeads when I was like 7 or 8 and I had to get my older brother (A Legend Of Zelda master) to get me through any place that had them. I hate these Redeads and their traumatizing hollow eyes and ear piercing screams. :_D

Here's a plan for the earth temple if it's the scream that bothers you then turn your volume all the way down then kill redeads then turn your volume back up
@@angelofdeath275 Yeah I remember getting my uncle to finish the royal family tomb and shadow temple when I was 8 hell even the Dodongos cavern theme made me feel uneasy.
I remember when this guy called necroscope86 played OOT for the first time, and when he got killed by one he literally said "What the hell, what you doing to me, you weirdo! Get off...! *game over* What the funk was that zombie doing to me, that is NOT how a zombie attacks. That looked really sexual, in a really weird way. I'm getting away from you, you weird pervert zombie."
The first time I encountered redeads in Ocarina Of Time, I actually died because I didn't know how to fight them. They genuinely scared the crap out of me
ReDeads and Gibdos are the only enemy in Zelda you have to think around to beat. For kids, it's an absolute nightmare encountering a being which attacks you by making you feel absolutely helpless. That's what makes them so scary imo. I feared those things back in OoT and WW. By the time i finally played TP i was to old and found them rather cool looking. (Which i think about them all at this point) But as a kid... Yikes. Especially in Wind Waker, my first ever Zelda game. No chance of dealing with them with arrows. Hookshot doesn't stun them and is a Bad idea, boomerang does also nothing. I was so scared of them and didn't want to run up to them, I dealt with them by using bombs.
I've always hated and feared ReDeads... I still do... There's just something about them, and the theories behind them. They are also one of my favorite enemies at the same time.
Paralyzed in a sand trap... not a good way to go. And I still vividly remember the first time I ever fought them in WW. Instead of the Earth Temple like I should have done, it was at the private oasis cabana in the sewers, the WORST HUMANLY POSSIBLE WAY to run into them I might add.
Same. I actually wanted to check the comments to see if anyone else had the same experience. I thought that there just...weren't Redeads in this game. I never got to the Earth Temple or anything. Just exploring the basement of the Private Oasis, and I jump down a hole with no ladder. BAM! Redead! And despite the art style, freakier than ever! I was genuinely terrified!
A couple nights ago i was outside smoking a cigar, just threw the trash out and it finally wasn't still too hot out anymore so i decided this was ok. Now where i live is the country, real quiet neighborhood with the occasional car with loud music passing by. As i was enjoying the night skies listening to the crickets chirp and the other country noises, i heard a scream. I stood up and looked around and thought to myself "wtf" is someone in trouble? Stopped and listened to see if i hear it again but i didn't. I played the scream back in my mind and realized i know that scream from somewhere. I started looking up screams from video games because i am an avid gamer always have been. I came across the redead scream from loz oot and that's what i heard i kid you not.. Same scream maybe a bit more realistic and the exact same echo.. 💀
I think what makes Zelda zombies so scary is that they seem to be supernatural based instead of virus based. They look decayed to the point where they are ancient. Yet they can still move. And SCREAM.
I remember the first time i came across a redead was in that same room in OoT, i was like 6 years old and thought that was a chest so I ran up to it AND THEN IT STOOD UP THEN SCREEAMED I CANT MOVE IT JUMPED ON ME I DIED
One redead in TP its nothing But when they are with more enemies there is teh problem as we see it in second part of the, the dungeon with 5 redeads to beat was really horror
I’ll still say wind waker’s versions are more creepy. The fact that even if you aren’t in range of them screaming at you, hitting them with an arrow and making them look at you with those empty eyes is just.. plus thinking about what they’d look like without the cartoonish style.

Those things had me filled with dread.
Yes and when we throw hook at them to grap items they look at you with empty eyes.
No they're not
I think the original red dead are scarier, it leaves to question if this thing was human or not
I misread Redeads as Redheads...
The cartoon art style is the absolute best ❤

Glad to see I’m not the only one that was legit traumatized by these zombies when you first get to adult link 😂

Damn, the Wind Waker's versions really scared me when I was 10!!
my childhood zelda was ocarina of time, so those redeads traumatized me.
that said, i still avoided the redeads as much as the game would allow me, and kill them from afar.
The ones from Wind Waker sounds like a baby elephant.
same!!! wind waker was the first time i saw them bruh😭
@@angelofdeath275 just play the sun's song in front of them (even if redeads were sitting) and they will freeze, and just go spam your sword in they're back and redead is dead now. Also sun's song Freezes gibdos in ocarina of time
@@mustafaomarYT i did say its my childhood game, so yeah i do know the sun's song...
And now they're back for tears of the kingdom. I couldn't be more excited AND terrified!
Being able to speak to redeads in majoras mask was the coolest thing. Gibdos technically but they're arguably the same thing.
Fun Fact, If you shoot a Gibdo with a Firearrow, the bandages burn away and It becomes a ReDead making it unable to talk to anymore iirc.
redeads were why i waited 7 years to finish ocarina of time
Now they're coming back in Tears of the Kingdom
yippee!
To this day, I’ll occasionally have a Windwaker Redead Nightmare.
Man that shit fucked me up 😭
The Triforce Herores Redeads were actually a lot of fun to battle, you just needed trustworthy friends to help you when you got caught. Oot definetly scared me the most tho
Cool seeing the redeads in a top down Zelda
Even to this day, i can't get used to the ear piercing scream of WW redeads.
*Shaggy:* ZOINKS!!!!!! I HATE REDEADS!!!!
*Scooby:* Ree Too!!!
*Song:* Terror Time Again.
I personally believe that The Wind Waker's ghoulish version design is nice and scary, especially at night.
I'm still confused as to why there were no Redeads in BOTW
lets hope in the sequel they are added
Redeads are usually associated with dark secluded places heavily associated with the dead. We didn't really encounter any areas fit for a redead in botw outside of hyrule castle and maybe the thyphlo ruins or the lost woods.

1:06 Commie Redead
I almost can’t take Ocarina’s Redead seriously because of the dramatic woman scream.
Nice vid bro huge zelda fan
I am too bro!!!
and now the gibdos in ToTK
These are 100% times scarier than Minecraft and mario's undead beings.
I like their roar in Melee too.
I encountered Wind Waker's Redeads when I was like 7 or 8 and I had to get my older brother (A Legend Of Zelda master) to get me through any place that had them.
I hate these Redeads and their traumatizing hollow eyes and ear piercing screams. :_D
A shame they didn't appear in SS or BOTW
The Redead in Twilight Princess is actually a Gibdo.
I hate redeads... They are my childhood's nightmare 😣
I appreciate this, but there's no way those other guys are better than me
These shoukd be in botw two they sre my favorite enemy in tloz
Whos here after listening to Bring Me The Horizon - Teardrop ?
*SHRIIIIIIEEEEEEEK!*
3:02 they arent redeads they are mummy or what the hell they names
Gibdo but they are technically the same thats why i included them
@@MetaMajinGamingEvolution ahh thanks to the answer xD Gibdo what a name!?
If you Burn the Mummys with a fire arrow, you will find a ReDead.
@@LuizFRocha wow really?

Old seek to find yourself in the image and make
I honestly don’t get what’s so scary about them
Redeads on 1998 is super terrifying
The original re dead’s were nightmare fuel back in my childhood
Ok
They got nothing on the WW ones.
they were much more nightmare inducing in wind waker
They’re just annoying, they don’t feel all that scary compared to ones in WW
I remember when i first played oot they were very scary. Nice video
I personally find skultallas scarier. Arachnophobia y’know
I quit windwaker for like a week on the earth temple because there were so many Redeads.
Here's a plan for the earth temple if it's the scream that bothers you then turn your volume all the way down then kill redeads then turn your volume back up
i quit ocarina of time as a kid for 7 years because of redeads
I found out as a kid i could kill redeads with 8 bombs, so when I got to the earth temple I just spammed bombs haha
@@angelofdeath275 Yeah I remember getting my uncle to finish the royal family tomb and shadow temple when I was 8 hell even the Dodongos cavern theme made me feel uneasy.
@@InderSingh-kr2bl That's what I did too!
I wonder what the Majora’s Mask developers were smoking while making the redeads in the Ikana Castle
IDFK THEY'RE ALL JUST DANCING LMFAO
Everything
@@idontthinktheysawthatcomin6792 honestly it wouldn’t surprise me
every possible thing at once
It makes sense that they did.
Um is it just me or does the death of link in the first kills looks like...something else...is happening..
Lol
NOOOOOO I CAN'T UNSEE IT NOW I'M WHEEZING

It was time for Thomas to leave; he had seen everything.
It's weird how the scariest zelda enemy is at it's scariest in the game that looks the least threatening lol (Wind Waker)
Yeah its so fucking twisted...
It looks like an inkan mummy
Its the red eyes for me, shits creepy af

They seem like they just wanna dance. Let them dance. Also, the one all the way on the left at 1:08 is the best out of all of them.

*The Twilight Zone theme starts playing
Bro got ran up on by either a skinwalker or a redead, and I'm not sure which one is scarier.
Wow, twilight princess looks so much more intense then the rest.
It's supposed to give off the mature vibe.
i wonder why this video doesnt have many views, its well done
Thanks man
Nightmare fuel?
WW and TP Redeads are the scariest ones imo
as a person who likes horrifying concepts and creatures i love these wooden faced shamblers
They’re just annoying, they don’t feel all that scary compared to ones in WW
Same even though they terrified 8 year old me lol
Man the redeads in the castle yard in TP were so frustrating and they were everywhere to scare the shit out of me😭
and now they will be in tears of the kingdom!
An enemy that gave Zelda fans decades worth of nightmares.
Fun Fact: OoT's ReDeads are attracted to sound. That's why it wasn't alerted until the player took out the slingshot.
I think what makes Zelda zombies so scary is that they seem to be supernatural based instead of virus based. They look decayed to the point where they are ancient. Yet they can still move. And SCREAM.
the redead's are the scariest zelda enemies, no wonder everyone is scared of them
The ones in OOT are just annoying, they don’t feel all that scary compared to ones in WW
Some people think dead hand is worse. You can't even use the sun song to freeze him. Imagine if Tears of the Kingdom had redeads and dead hand in it!!
In OoT you’re supposed to play the Sun’s Song to paralyze them.
0:46
What everyone loves about redeads
These things STILL scare the crap out of me, and I'm a highschooler ;-;
Early childhood trauma unlocked
I remember the first time i came across a redead was in that same room in OoT, i was like 6 years old and thought that was a chest so I ran up to it AND THEN IT STOOD UP
THEN SCREEAMED
I CANT MOVE
IT JUMPED ON ME
I DIED
I think in twilight princess those are gibdos, I might be trippin. I like those the most
3:34 the redead went "how dare you.."
Why does twilight princess’s redeads have cloud’s sword
One redead in TP its nothing
But when they are with more enemies there is teh problem as we see it in second part of the, the dungeon with 5 redeads to beat was really horror
Thought it said “evolution of redheads in Zelda”. You can imagine my confusion.
The twilight princess redeads comically slips back to not hurt you 😂
2:44 those are Gibdos, not ReDeads
I know man
Same thing kinda
Aren't gibdos practically a reskin? I mean, they're different enemies, but both of them do exactly the same.
@@joaquin684 thats why i included them here, thanks for understanding
@@MetaMajinGamingEvolution Fun fact if you use a fire arrow on most Gibdos, they turn into ReDeads!
4:20 sounds similar to Pamela's father in MM, no?
I hope they return in botw2
Excellent Evolution 🧬
2:47
Aren't those Gibdo's?
it look like you took some video?
Imagine being a 12 year old boy and being grabbed by a redead, that’s gotta be terrifying
1:40 Ahhhhhhhhhh!
Redeads: . . .
Redeads when Link puts on a funni mask: [TF2 friendly server noises]
The redeads in ocarina of time 3D look more like gibdos
1:07 bruh they're not scary, they are *dancers*

Thanks bro
The one redead in windmaker just geting it's head hit looting him during all of it
The hd windwaker redeads made me say "fuck that noise" out loud
