Redeads are the lurkers in the dark who are recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda Series.

Their appearance change from game to game, so that you might see them in a different form, but they would still be creepy. They can paralyze you with a gaze, and when you are paralyzed, they will attack you. Usually, Redeads appear in small groups, or sometimes you might see them appear alone in places such as tombs and dungeons. 

How To Avoid Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Redead

So it will be difficult to shake it off, and it might cause some type of effect on Link.

Are Redeads Deadly?

Redead Tears of the Kingdom can be deadly, but only if you have skill issues. They are known to be quite slow in speed and from recovering from an attack. This makes them a pretty easy target. Moreover, it can be easier for you to slay them if you can somehow get behind them, which won’t be a challenge.

It has been seen previously that when a Redead is slain, all the other Redeads will ignore Link and crouch beside the one who died. This makes it fairly easy for you to beat them, but this might not be the case in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Legend of Zelda tears of the kingdom Redead might be difficult to slay and more deadly, so it is likely that you would require more skill to slay them.
