    ReDeads in OoT literally fucking haunted me as a kid. That moan sound they make triggers a primal fear in me 2nd only to the breathing sound of the Regenerators in Re4 classic.

      me and bros when we were kids got a used copy of OOT, so obviously being the dumb kids we were, we took a look at the file that already had progress...found ourselves using adult Link...in castle town. Our first experience with OOT was Adult Link in Castle Town, feel free to imagine our reactions and the mental scarring.

    The Gibdos in TotK are one of the coolest and most creative reimaginings in the whole series! Making them into eusocial insects that only LOOK like desiccated corpses is a drastic change, yet they lose none of their inherent horror for it. Totally brilliant!

    It needs to be said the first clip doesn't properly show how dangerous gibdos were in Zelda nes. They may not have taken your shield, but they had SO much hp. You could whack and whack at them and they'd just chase you down. Once you upgrade your sword twice they're much less of a threat, but encountering retro gibdos without those upgrades is like walking into your first 6 darknut room

    Not sure why the original OoT redheads are not on here as they move and looked different. They would move very slowly without lifting their heads and didn’t really have any other animation other than slightly quiver in place. They seem scarier when they have only enough life to slowly pursue you, and they do it as if it’s an enormous burden to do anything other than sit moaning in the dark.
    Not to mention the dancing ones in majoras mask.

Plus, out in the middle of nowhere with your radar cut off and seeing their ghostly figures silhouetted again the thick haze of buffetting , the whole effect is amazing and very unique than just the boring "here's your basic re -Dead + scream that can never quite match the impact of WWs".
