ReDead Knights are enemies from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. These undead enemies can be found in the Arbiter's Grounds and the Cave of Ordeals. They are similar in function to ReDeads from earlier titles, however, their appearance is different. ReDead Knights look like thinly wrapped mummies as opposed to the dessicated corpse appearance of ReDeads. They also wear what appears to be a type of light battle armor, although badly decayed. ReDead Knights wield huge swords, as opposed to the unarmed ReDeads, who use their hands to grab Link and suck the life out of him while he is stunned.
Despite these differences, their attack method is is very similar to that of ReDeads in past games, as they let out piercing screams in order to freeze Link and approach him while stunned to damage him. However, instead of grabbing on Link and slowly draining him, ReDead Knights bash him with their large swords. Unlike in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, ReDeads cannot be stunned themselves (although, this may simply be due to TP Link's inability to play the "Sun's Song"). However, an easy way to defeat ReDead Knights is to quickly dispatch them with a carefully placed Bomb. Another, more cost-effective way to defeat a ReDead Knight is to hit it with the Ball and Chain twice, once going forward and again coming back. The ReDead Knight's attacks are difficult, but not impossible to dodge if the player button-mashes in an attempt to sidestep the attack. If done correctly, Link should escape the ReDead Knight's paralyzing effect and roll out of the way of the attack, with an excellent opportunity to perform a Back Slice. Also, ReDead Knights can be killed in one hit with a Jump Strike.
