ReDead... If it catches you in its paralyzing glare, you won't be able to move. Shake it off if you get caught!

How hard each weapon hits the ReDead, and how many hits it takes to defeat it. A jump attack with a sword or a Deku Stick hits twice as hard.

Drops

When the ReDead is defeated, one of 16 slots is picked at random, so each slot is a 6.25% chance.

DropChance
Blue Rupee ×356.25%
Red Rupee43.75%

Arrows need the Hero's Bow and bombs need a Bomb Bag; magic needs the magic meter. Without them that slot drops nothing. A Recovery Heart at full health becomes a Green Rupee.

The arrow that defeats it decides the drop, whatever the slot: a Fire Arrow gives 30 Arrows, an Ice Arrow a Recovery Heart, and a Light Arrow a Purple Rupee.

Where to find it

Official guide

Its glare freezes you in place. With the Gibdo Mask it will not attack you. Light Arrows defeat it easily.

ゼルダの伝説 ムジュラの仮面のすべて (エンターブレイン, 2000), p. 191: Translated by 101Leafy

These undead dancers are much like Gibdos. If they look at you, you freeze in place while it clings to you and attacks. Wear the Gibdo Mask or the Captain's Hat and you can pass right by them with no problem!
