I read all these people here being creeped out by the zombie-like creatures. And I get that. But the things that really gave me the creeps as a child were the like like… Just that hairy texture, and them looking like leeches really made my skin crawl.

The re-deads in OOT did kinda freak me out, and I had played shit like Castlevania and Splatterhouse long before it came out.

Always got my older brother to complete the well & the spirit temple. Noooo thank you.

8 year old me was so excited to play that game and I can remember being in the basement running around Hyrule and encountering my first Redead. The corpse got up from the ground, turning in that stilting fashion, screaming, and leaping onto my back and biting my neck until I died. I was petrified for a moment, I then turned off the game and didn’t come back to play it until I was twice that age.

Fuckin great game tho

And the ReDead face huggers approaching as you are literally frozen in fear.

Probably the most legit scared I ever was in a video game, and I was 13.That, and Half-Mummified Gibdo Dad popping out of the wardrobe in Majora’s Mask.
