Talk:Gibdo

Does anyone have any citation for the TP Redeads and whether they're Redeads or Gibdos? Preferably Japanese.


 * I'd say they were Gibdos if any, because they are mummified like Gibdos. Also they appear in the Arbiter Grounds, which is like an Egyptian Tomb, and Gibdos are based on those that have been mummified.


 * Hm. Nothing in either the American nor Japanese text dumps saying either way. I kind of just go with ReDeads 'cause that's what I've alwayd thought, but if anyone can prove otherwise, be my guest. --Ando1400 (Talk) 19:39, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Page needs to be revised to meet standards. Different variations are clustered into just a few paragraphs. Also, the enemy infobox has habitats from one game and effective weapons from another game. --Mases554 03:25, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Japanese Wikipedia has a list of enemy characters on their Twilight Princess page (they're not bound to the new rules as English Wikipedia). Gibdos are listed and described. ReDead Knights are not. I think it's safe to say that the enemy references in the guide were made by a secondary translator, and was probably more familiar with the ReDead name rather than the nonsense "Gibudo," and simply localized the name based on what they thought they were... ReDead Knights. --LinkTheLefty 05:42, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Gibdo Facts
This is all wrong. You are right. this does need work. --Dragonstetraforce 22:00, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * -gibdos are not flesh eating. they mearly drain your life force like redeads.
 * -there is no proof that they actually bite.
 * -gibdos are stalfos underneath. though im not far yet to see about the redead part.
 * -they cant freeze you. i tried. they act completely like redeads.


 * ...All right then. Please answer the following statements, if you believe what you say.
 * -Gibdos jump on Link and start biting his neck in both and . That's both biting and flesh-eating.
 * -Depending on what game you play, Gibdos are either Stalfos or Redeads. If you're playing one of the Oracle games, they turn into Stalfos upon Ember Seeds being used on them. In Majora's Mask, a Fire Arrow turns a Gibdo into a ReDead.
 * -And what does this last point mean? What game is this? If they act like redeads, they should freeze you!

 * They... they don't freeze you? You obviously didn't try hard enough. :P Also, as FC said, in they ARE ReDeads underneath. And all I can say about them biting is, uh, well, what else does it look like they could be doing? Also, from the article: "In The Minish Cap, the Gibdo was similar to its Ocarina of Time counterpart, except that it couldn't freeze you or be frozen. You could kill them by torching them with the Flame Lantern, upon they would turn into Stalfos (this also happens in both  and )." So yes, the article also mentions the Stalfos variation. --Ando1400 (Talk) 04:35, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * -no they do not bite. they suck life out of you. just like the fog, redeads and ghinis. have you actually seen it happen? was there some kind of cutscene? can you acually see there mouth? how can you bite when your mouth is covered by bandeges.
 * -ive tried. they do NOT freeze you and if they did why would i actually TRY. that picture doesnt tell me anything. if it was a MOVING picture maybe but right now it looks like link isnt frozen.
 * -i admit i have not made it that far but since is so similar to  i dont think so. i think you might be right on that though (as much as i hate to say it).
 * -my point IS that fire does not kill them since stalfos are much stronger.

 * Alright, you seem to know what you're talking about. Tell me, how do Gibdos suck energy out then? If they're not biting, how do they do it? They're not like Wizzrobes, which have magical powers. They're animated corpses. As for HOW they bite, I'm going to go ahead and blame limited game mechanics for not showing the details... And you're just plain wrong about Gibdos not freezing Link. I'm not sure what I can do to prove that to you. Unless... You're talking about, , or . They don't freeze you in the 2-D games that I've played. --Felicia's Champion 03:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * The picture I showed does actually prove that Gibdos freeze Link if you understand the regular mechanics behind Z-Targeting. When Z-Targeting, the screen has the black bars appear at the top and bottom, almost like you're playing in wide-screen. The image shows this. However, when Z-Targeting, the camera is also facing directly behind Link, which it's not in the picture I showed. When a Gibdo freezes you, it "goes wide-screen" without Z-Targeting. I'm not sure about, but it sure as heck does that in . Again, not sure about , but fire doesn't burn away the wrappings in that game, so could someone shoot them with a bunch of fire arrows to confirm whether or not fire DOES kill a Gibdo? --Ando1400 (Talk) 03:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm on it, Mr. A! They're immune to it on Ocarina of Time... --Felicia's Champion 03:48, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * ok fine. i get it. they dont LITERALY freeze you. how about we go with the word IMOBILEZE. anyway im saying the suck life out the same way redeads and that stupid ocean king temple do. --Dragonstetraforce 20:46, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Navi's comment on Gibdo's in OOT actually DOES reference biting.
