    ReDeads in OoT literally fucking haunted me as a kid. That moan sound they make triggers a primal fear in me 2nd only to the breathing sound of the Regenerators in Re4 classic.

      me and bros when we were kids got a used copy of OOT, so obviously being the dumb kids we were, we took a look at the file that already had progress...found ourselves using adult Link...in castle town. Our first experience with OOT was Adult Link in Castle Town, feel free to imagine our reactions and the mental scarring.

    It needs to be said the first clip doesn't properly show how dangerous gibdos were in Zelda nes. They may not have taken your shield, but they had SO much hp. You could whack and whack at them and they'd just chase you down. Once you upgrade your sword twice they're much less of a threat, but encountering retro gibdos without those upgrades is like walking into your first 6 darknut room

      I think Ocarina/Majora’s have the best Redead interpretations.
      But this game has the best Gibdo interpretation with Twilight Princess at second place. They went from a mummy reskin of a Redead into freaky zombies given bug traits who are actually pretty cunning. I like how you’re tricked by the slow walking ones into feeling less threatened by them, only for the crawling ones to get thrown at you later. Also the Gibdo Queen is one of the coolest and creepiest bosses in the series.

    Not sure why the original OoT redheads are not on here as they move and looked different. They would move very slowly without lifting their heads and didn’t really have any other animation other than slightly quiver in place. They seem scarier when they have only enough life to slowly pursue you, and they do it as if it’s an enormous burden to do anything other than sit moaning in the dark.
    Not to mention the dancing ones in majoras mask.

      @@Sir_Adam They’re definitely still zombies in this game, you can find them in sarcophagi and cages and such where they shouldn’t be if they were just full bugs that spawned in. I think somewhere in their process to becoming alive again, the dark magics gave them insect-like properties. While I do think mechanically speaking they should be tougher, the design is much stronger than just a Redead in a mummy costume.
      Also I think it’s freakier seeing the spears and arrows and such stuck in them. The implications of that are creepy as you have to imagine some poor soldier hitting them with everything they’ve got only for it to not work and eventually just get mauled after they slowly shuffled up to them. The crawling ones, flying ones, and the queen are also really cool and creepy.
