The Gerudo are a mostly female race primarily living in [[Gerudo Town]]. When Link first arrives at Gerudo Town, no voes (men) are allowed in to the town due to a recent attack by the [[Yiga Clan]] so he has to return to Kara Kara Bazaar in order to buy the [[Gerudo Vai Set]] so he can pass as a woman and enter the town. Interestingly, no male Gerudo are ever met, but Gerudo voe clothing can be bought from the [[Gerudo Secret Club]] indicating that Gerudo men do indeed exist, but are rarely born, similar to previous games, where the Gerudo King has been the only male baby born in the century. | The Gerudo are a mostly female race primarily living in [[Gerudo Town]].

The Gerudo are known for being tremendously fit, tall and shapely, exceeding heights of 8 feet as adults, though they tend to become thinner and daintier when they become old. Even Gerudo not involved in combat by trade are fit, and often tower over Hylians in comparison. Adult Gerudo exhibit small torsos, wide hips and long legs. | |||
Most, if not all of Gerudo have hair colors which are variations of red; their skin colors range from dark brown ([[Sumati]], [[Nali]], [[Marta]]), to olive ([[Buliara]], [[Isha]]), to leucistic ([[Teake]], [[Calyban]], [[Ashai]]). They also present an innate resistance to the desert heat, as well as a surprising resistance to the volcanic heat of the Eldin Region, albeit expressing discomfort towards it. | |||
Many Gerudo are trained in combat. They are trained by [[Teake]] and [[Liana]] in Gerudo Town and guard the city to prevent any voe from entering. Gerudo guardswomen also protect [[Kara Kara Bazaar]] from the many monsters in the region. A training compound is located in Gerudo Town where Gerudo warriors train against each other and on dummies made for practice. | Many Gerudo are trained in combat.

Their facial features are striking, with protruding noses and stern expressions, and like Hylians, they have elfin-looking ears. Gerudo sport makeup, particularly different-colored lipstick and face painting, which is also used by young girls. It's shown that the more makeup a Gerudo sports, the less striking their features become (like in the case of [[Urbosa]]). | |||
Gerudo young children exhibit paradoxical physiology compared to adults, presented by the fact that their torsos are big and their legs are short, which are contrary features to those of adults. | |||

Though most Gerudo continue to live in Gerudo Town, many leave to travel across Hyrule and are met by [[Link]] during their travels. The most frequent reason for Gerudo leaving is to either sell their wares in distant locations or to marry. With no Gerudo voe, Gerudo who wish to marry leave Gerudo Town to travel across Hyrule in hopes of finding a husband, and maintain an eager curiosity towards Voe, domestic life and the concept of marriage as a whole fueled by their isolationist status. Even after marrying, many Gerudo return to Gerudo Town to sell wares they procure during their travels. | |||
The Gerudo are known for their pride and exuberance leading to a somewhat stubborn nature towards other Hyrulean races. In terms of romantic prospects, it's shown that Gerudo mainly prefer Hylian partners, and may consider [[Gorons]] too removed from their preference to consider marriage or child-bearing. In spite of all this, many Gerudo are shown to be playful and goofy at times. | |||
Gerudo clothing is often brightly patterned and colored. Due to the heat of their home, Gerudo clothing is typically light and minimal in style. | Gerudo clothing is often brightly patterned and colored. Due to the heat of their home, Gerudo clothing is typically light and minimal in style. | ||
