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.
| Damage | Hearts | Double Defense | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | ½ | ¼ | Plain hit |
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.
| Item | Count | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 11 in 16 | |
| 1 | 5 in 16 |
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.

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.Der offizielle Nintendo Spieleberater: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo of Europe, 1998), p. 34, Translated by 101Leafy
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.Der offizielle Nintendo Spieleberater: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo of Europe, 1998), p. 54, Translated by 101Leafy
