Damage to Link

Health Link loses when an attack of ReDead hits him, one line per attack strength, 16 points to a heart. Once a Great Fairy strengthens Link's defensive power, the damage is halved, rounded up.

Drops

When ReDead is defeated, the game picks one of 16 slots at random, so each slot is a 1 in 16 chance. Some slots hold nothing.

Young Link gets Deku Seeds where adult Link gets arrows, and the other way round, and an adult's Deku Stick turns into a green Rupee. Bombs, arrows, seeds, and magic only drop once Link has the bomb bag, the bow, the slingshot, or magic, and a recovery heart at full health turns into a green Rupee.

In the official guides

A walking corpse, beaten exactly like a Gibdo: get to its side or back and cut it. The Sun's Song and Hookshot work as well.

Freezes anyone who comes close, then drains their life.

These skeletal creatures froze people who strayed too close, then they sucked the life from the unfortunate victims.

The tomb's second room holds several undead; their gaze freezes Link for a short time, so he should keep away.

Diesen üblen Zeitgenossen kommt er besser nicht zu nahe, denn die Blicke der Zombies lähmen den Helden für kurze Zeit.

If Link gets close, their scream freezes him so he cannot defend himself; when one grabs him, press A quickly to break free.

Kommt er ihnen nämlich zu nah, läßt ihn ihr markerschütternder Schrei für kurze Zeit erstarren und er hat keine Möglichkeit, sich zur Wehr zu setzen.
