10 Creepiest Legend Of Zelda Enemies

10. ReDead (First Appearance In Ocarina Of Time – 1998)

According to Nintendo Power Player’s Guide for Ocarina of Time (first published in the US and Canada in 1998): “During Ganondorf's dark reign, many evil beings walked the earth, but none were as horrible as the ReDead. These skeletal creatures froze people who strayed too close, then they sucked the life from the unfortunate victims”. If you get too close, you’ll inevitably be paralyzed by the heart-stopping screams of these creatures.

When you first encounter ReDeads in the always fantastic Ocarina of Time (released in 1998 for the N64), Link has just traveled 7 years into the future and is taking his first steps out of the Temple of Time. Can you guess who’s in the welcoming committee?

That’s right, none other than a horde of nightmare-inducing ReDeads, a vicious leeching monster that will slowly pursue Link until it’s close enough to scream and paralyze you on the spot.

The experience is made even far scarier by a slow-motion effect that is activated every time a ReDead wails and approaches Link. When the creature finally catches up to you, it will jump on your back and diligently begin to ingest your life force.

Yep, as if it were just another day of undead business and shenanigans. Don’t stay near these monstrosities for too long or you’ll regret it.
