Zelda Ocarina's ReDead Were Set To Be "Very, Very Scary" In The Remake, But Nintendo Decided To "Dial It Back"
The team maybe went "a step too far", according to the producer. Ocarina of Time's Switch 2 remake isn't really a scary game, but there are still some enemies throughout this adventure that may give players a fright. Perhaps the most notable are ReDead, the zombie-like creatures that are difficult to escape when they set their sights on Link. These return in the remake and apparently were even scarier at one point during development, until Nintendo decided to "dial it back". com

Why am I seeing this Ranked on recency
It is here mostly because it is new. Freshness is the largest single contributor to its score, which means nothing about the story except that it is recent.
Nothing much is corroborating this yet. On a quiet day in gaming that is enough to reach the top of the section — recency, not significance, is doing the work here.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 28% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.70 | +0.175 36% | Nintendo Life is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshnessleads | 0.20 | 0.91 | +0.181 37% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
