Talk:ReDead

Truly Undead?
I seem to remember the SSBM trophy for these guys mentioning that they were not actually undead, but a physical incarnation of magic (or something like that.) Should this be mentioned? Onen 01:52, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

The Master Sword Trophy said that the Master Sword first appeared in Ocarina of Time, though it didn't. But it makes sense, since if they are undead, how can you kill them? 10:34, 1 August 2008 (EST)


 * I can see this discussion is several months old, but I'd like to revisit it. Firstly, this fact is never mentioned anywhere else but Super Smash Bros., and the problem with that is HAL didn't make Zelda. In fact, as Steven pointed out, they kind of have a reputation for trophies having false or less-than-true information - in Brawl, the trophy for the Careening Dirigibug, a creature from the Pimkin series which floats in the air and drops bombs, says they occasionally drop duds, which is simply not true.
 * Not only do I doubt the credibility of this information, but you can see in the game that it's not entirely true: yeah, a lot of the residents from Castle Town moved to Kakariko, but where's the Bombchu Bowling lady? Where's that woman in the blue dress who was speaking to that old man that tells you about the House of Skulltula? Where's the little girl chasing the chicken? And what happened to those walls of people crowded around the market stands, and all the Hylian soldiers? You think nobody died when Ganondorf invaded the castle? I bet there were piles of corpses.
 * As for not being able to kill the undead, there are plenty of undead enemies in the games. We know the Stalchildren in Majora's Mask are dead soldiers, and you can kill them easily enough.
 * TL;DR: We should definitely keep the trophy info, but we shouldn't use it anywhere else in the article, unless it's made clear where it comes from. Jimbo Jambo 03:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree completely. As far as I can tell, the canon games never state where ReDeads come from. So yeah, a "the trophy in Melee says" section could work, but it should not be passed off as canon information. 15:19, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Good like that, or do you think we should bump it down to the Melee section? Jimbo Jambo 08:46, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, that would be moved down to the section for Melee, we'll need some more information for the OoT section to fill in that gap, however. . Scratch that, the page will look nicer if that paragraph is moved. 13:45, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Indeed. I went ahead and moved it since there were a couple of other fixes I wanted to make as well. So it's now in the Melee section. Nice catch there, Jimbo! 17:26, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
