12 Things You Didn't Know About The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
7. You Can Paralyse ReDeads
ReDeads are widely considered to be the Legend of Zelda’s most terrifying enemies. A recurring monster, these zombie-like creatures release a blood-curdling shriek upon seeing an intruder, causing Link to become temporarily paralysed by fear.
Populating Castle Town’s ruined marketplace in the future, they pop up across the more desolate regions of Hyrule and act with a herd mentality, looking to help fallen ReDead should Link kill one. They’re a strange race but there’s an easy way to handle them, via the Sun’s Song.
Turning night into day and vice versa, a hidden bonus of this song is that it hurts ReDeads when played near them, paralysing them instead. Turning them white, it’s only a temporary measure, so attack quickly but it’s an easier way of handling these monsters.
