Dead Hand

This bizarre monster resides at the Bottom of the Well in Kakariko Village in Ocarina of Time. Whether this monster was set there by Ganondorf or wether it was a natural occurance is unknown, but many consider it to be a part of Ganondorf's group. Dead hand was basically alump of flesh, with two puny arms, and a neck the length of a piano. It's head resmbled that of a zombie, albeit with a large jaw. Purple blotches decorated its body, and there were 5 hands sticking out of the ground, dotted around the room. The monster uses its detached arms to snare Link, and then devour him with its mouth. The main body was kept underground at all times, until it felt something.

Link defeated the Dead Hand by faking being grabbed by the hands. And slashing the main body when it appeared. Afterwards, Link claimed the lens of Truth as his reward.

Whether this is a one-off from Ganon or something wild (I hope not) this bizarre being is NOT to be messed with, at least not without knowing the dire conseqences.

Some people reckon it is the mutated body of the Gravekeeper - Dampe. This would make some poeti sense, as his house was where the Well now is, though how his body got here from its grave is anyone's guess (although considering the combination of Ganon's magic and a hollow grave...) Another one appears in the Shadow Temple though, so this is unlikely.
