I was never scared all that much of the Dead Hand because it looked too much like a big ole' monster to me. But the Redeads look just barely human. I think someone on the development team of OoT had just finished Resident Evil and was dead set on ruining some childens' psyche. There are obvious parallels to the zombies in Resident Evil: you can hear them moaning before you engage them and their bodies stay lying around when you kill them. Of course I had already acquired preceding childhood trauma from watching my dad play Resident Evil, so some parts of the game were nearly unplayable for me for years. My brother had to get through the royal grave for me and I had not beaten the game until I was 15 owing to the Shadow Temple. Imagine how freaked out I was when I left the Temple of Time after getting the Master Sword and town sqaure was crawling with these nigthmares.
