The Gerudo are introduced as a predominantly-female tribe of hawk-nosed thieves who inhabit [[Gerudo's Fortress]], and woship at the [[Spirit Teemple]] in the [[Desert Colossus]]. generic NPC Gerudo wear white and have varying hairstyles. One blocks the bridge in [[Gerudo Valley]] in the past, and another is found next to a [[cow]] near the river. In the future, one guards the gate to the [[Haunted Wasteland]], and two more operate the [[Gerudo Training Ground]] and the [[Gerudo Horseback Archery]] minigame. Veiled, purple-garbed Gerudo with spears known as [[Gerudo Guard]]s patrol Gerudo's Fortress. If they see [[Link]], they will throw him into a holding cell. Two can also be seen on the inaccessible side of Gerudo Valley in the past; getting to them through hacking will cause them to throw Link in the river. [[|Gerudo Thief|Gerudo Thieves]] wielding a pair of scimitars appear as mini-bosses throughout the fortress. They are led by [[Ganondorf]], [[Nabooru]] (who is brainwashed by [[Twinrova]] for opposing Ganondorf), and a different Gerudo later named [[Aveil]]. After Link defeats four Gerudo Thieves and frees the four [[carpenter]]s, Link gains Aveil's approval, and is given a [[Gerudo Token]] denoting him as an honorary member. | |||

In [[Termina]], Gerudo are instead ruthless pirates in the [[Pirate's Fortress]] in [[Great Bay]]. They were told by [[Skull Kid]] that a great treasure could be found in the [[Great Bay Temple]], and as such they hinder anyone else's efforts to enter it. They also steal [[Lulu]]'s [[Zora Egg|eggs]] and mortally wound her boyfriend and bandmate [[Mikau]].

Koume and Kotake are in the [[Southern Swamp]], but it is not shown if they relate to the pirates in any way. | ||

Gerudo society is reinterpreted and expanded. They inhabit the [[Gerudo Desert]], specifically [[Gerudo Town]]. Unlike Gerudo's Fortress, Gerudo Town is depicted as a lively cultural center. Gerudo are again not thieves, and in fact are in opposition to the thieving [[Yiga]] clan, who live in a stretch of Gerudo Desert pushing into [[Gerudo Highlands]].

They inhabit the [[Gerudo Desert]], specifically [[Gerudo Town]]. Unlike Gerudo's Fortress, Gerudo Town is depicted as a lively cultural center. Gerudo are again not thieves, and in fact are in opposition to the thieving [[Yiga]] clan, who live in a stretch of Gerudo Desert pushing into [[Gerudo Highlands]]. However, Gerudo do still keep a strong warrior division. Tying into this, Gerudo are redesigned to be much taller than Hylians and have prominent abdominal muscles, both of which are treated by a guard as defining features of the race. The leader, [[Riju]], is said to be fairly young, but is only a small amount shorter than Link. Gerudo Town does not allow males to enter (aside from the similarly single-gendered [[Goron]]s), though it is indicated that most Gerudo but the town's guards are apathetic about the law. Many sell various items in stalls in the center of Gerudo Town. Due to the lack of males in their town, there are classes to teach Gerudo how to act in potentially-romantic situations. Gerudo are sometimes seen traveling the land looking for a suitable husband, and some of the sellers mention they have families outside of town. A popular sport for Gerudo is [[Sand Seal]] riding. A few Gerudo children are also seen, and are around the same height as children of other races in the game. | ||
Gerudo language, previously limited to symbols, is fleshed out. For example, "man" and "woman" are "voe" and "vai," respectively, while the word "good" is translated as a prefix "sav'." Of note is that despite the previous statement regarding a Gerudo male being born every century, no mention of a male Gerudo existing is made in this game, aside from a passing mention of Ganondorf from ages past. | Gerudo language, previously limited to symbols, is fleshed out.

In the present, the Gerudo are being menaced by both the Yiga clan, who stole the priceless [[Thunder Helm]], and the [[malice]]-possessed [[Vah Naboris]], which threatens to consume the desert in a lightning-filled sandstorm. Link is able to speak with Riju about helping with their problems by disguising as a woman. After he does, he is granted champion [[Urbosa]]'s scimitar. He can be lent the Thunder Helm if he solves all minor quests involving Gerudo. | In the present, the Gerudo are being menaced by both the Yiga clan, who stole the priceless [[Thunder Helm]], and the [[malice]]-possessed [[Vah Naboris]], which threatens to consume the desert in a lightning-filled sandstorm.

==Gerudo symbol== | ==Gerudo symbol== | ||
In the first edition of ''Ocarina of Time'', the Gerudo symbol is a moon and star, resembling a real Islamic symbol. Due to a rule at Nintendo about religious imagery at the time, later revisions and games replace it with a symbol initially shown on a shelf in the fisherman's house in ''Majora's Mask''. The new symbol shows a diamond shape with a horizontal wrench-like swoosh going through the center, with circles on either side of it. The Gerudo symbol appears in many places throughout ''Ocarina of Time'', notably on [[switch]]es and pushable blocks. Due to ''Majora's Mask'' replacing it with an image of the titular mask, the Gerudo symbol's constant appearances may be in reference to Ganondorf being the main antagonist. | |||
