But why would there be redeads then in ...Half true. But why would there be redeads then in the Royal Family tomb? That would imply that Ganondorf somehow predicted that Link needed to go there for the sun song, and we all know the triforce always selects those Ganons with power since that is what he is seeking.<br /><br />The best theory I can muster is that the redeads in the castle town 9 years after Young Link are the animated corpses of the dead Hylian Guards/Soldiers, and they are there to make Link think that all of the civilians got killed and reanimated which isn't the case.<br /><br />This can be proven, though not done, through counting every soldier NPC and counting every redead NPC. <br /><br />The game art of a redead, and also the 3DS version shows that redeads have a skeleton.<br /><br />Those holes in their 'eyes' is a wooden mask that is placed on a deceased person as per Hylian customs.<br /><br />It begs more questions, like the Shadow Temple redeads. Are they simply because of the main boss in the temple? I know the Water Temple boss is responsible for freezing Zora's Domain, so it's not absurd that this may be the case for the Shadow Temple Boss being a necromancer. But then again, the shadow temple boss back 9 years before Adult Link was imprisoned while after 9 years, Ganondorf released him after Link's success with the Water Temple boss.<br /><br />It is very possible that yes, some minions of Ganon have reanimated the corpses through Necromancy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5836525724237703724.post-83230606811344524352015-01-01T21:39:56.443-08:002015-01-01T21:39:56.443-08:00Redeads aren't zombies.
