In {{OoT}}, ReDeads are brown and wear [[Spooky Mask|wooden masks]]. They usually appear in small groups or sometimes alone in dead or ruinous places, such as tombs or dungeons, and make their presence known with periodic, low-pitched moans. ReDeads are encountered the earliest inside the [[Royal Family's Tomb]], where they gather in a chamber leading to the room where [[Link]] learns the [[Sun's Song]]. They can later be found in [[Hyrule Castle Town|Castle Town]]'s ruined market place, presumbly as the town's deceased residents, and at the [[Bottom of the Well]] and inside the [[Shadow Temple]]. | In {{OoT}}, ReDeads are brown and wear [[Spooky Mask|wooden masks]].

ReDeads can either be found idly standing slightly hunched over or sitting crouched down in the fetal position, until [[Link]] approaches, at which they will rise and slowly shuffle towards him. When Link is within their range, they will paralyze him with a bone-chilling gaze, jump onto his back if close enough, and gradually drain his health by squeezing him. Link will then have to struggle free with a series of A and B-Button presses.

When Link is within their range, they will paralyze him with a bone-chilling gaze, jump onto his back if close enough, and gradually drain his health by squeezing him. Link will then have to struggle free with a series of A and B-Button presses. Once released from their hold, Link can either strike back with the [[sword]] or run away to attack from a safer distance. ReDeads, however, have a flaw in that they are blind. Link can walk by slowly or with the [[Iron Boots]] equipped to pass by unnoticed. If Link takes out or puts away any weapon, or runs near them, they will hear him and attempt to paralyze him with their vivid gaze. Interestingly, Link cannot become paralyzed in areas with a fixed camera position, namely Castle Town's market, possibly because of the way the camera usually zooms in when the monsters use their gaze attack. | ||
ReDeads are quite slow, both in motion and recovering from an attack, making them fairly easy to slay, particularly if Link can get behind them. When a ReDead is slain, any other ReDeads in the area will walk towards and crouch beside the fallen ReDead until its body fades away, ignoring Link and making killing the whole group easier. This behavior is never explained in the game, although plausible explanations could be that they are mourning its death or even consuming its corpse. | ReDeads are quite slow, both in motion and recovering from an attack, making them fairly easy to slay, particularly if Link can get behind them.

In {{MM}}, ReDeads appear mostly the same as in {{OoT|-}}, although with several differences, particularly in their behavior and weaknesses. While ReDeads will continue to utilize a paralyzing gaze and slowly approach Link when he comes close, if Link wears the [[Garo's Mask]], [[Gibdo Mask]], or the [[Captain's Hat]], the ReDeads will inexplicably dance and ignore | In {{MM}}, ReDeads appear mostly the same as in {{OoT|-}}, although with several differences, particularly in their behavior and weaknesses. While ReDeads will continue to utilize a paralyzing gaze and slowly approach Link when he comes close, if Link wears the [[Garo's Mask]], [[Gibdo Mask]], or the [[Captain's Hat]], the ReDeads will inexplicably dance and ignore him. A [[Gossip Stone]] offers a possible explanation of this peculiarity by stating that the ReDeads of [[Ancient Castle of Ikana|Ikana Castle]] were once a troupe of performers.<ref>{{Cite|The ReDeads in Ikana were once members of the castle's dancing troupe...|Gossip Stone|MM}}</ref> While wearing any one of these masks, Link can freely attack the ReDeads with ease, so long as he keeps the mask on. | ||
ReDeads in {{MM|-}} are weak to beams of [[light]] reflected off of the [[Mirror Shield]], which will kill them instantly. They also retain their weakness to fire, and can be defeated with the Fire Arrows. | ReDeads in {{MM|-}} are weak to beams of [[light]] reflected off of the [[Mirror Shield]], which will kill them instantly.
