They are | The '''Gerudo''' are a recurring race in [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They are in stark contrast to the other races of [[Hyrule]] for the fact that virtually all of them are female. It is only once per century that a Gerudo male is born, the only known example of which being [[Ganondorf]]. This unusual facet of their biology, along with their desirable status among [[Hylian]] males, has produced a very distinct society in which men are simultaneously revered and despised. | ||
Gerudo culture is further shaped by their affinities for combat and thievery, skills in the former being especially prized amongst them. They live predominantly in desert areas and have become adept at traversing them, though they frequently travel elsewhere in search of worthy husbands. | Gerudo culture is further shaped by their affinities for combat and thievery, skills in the former being especially prized amongst them.

Characteristic of all Gerudo is dark skin, green eyes, and a long, sharp nose. Their exact build varies between depictions. | |||

Female Gerudo make their debut in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. They are encountered only in their homeland of [[Gerudo Valley]], in which most occupy the [[Gerudo's Fortress]]. They harbor much disdain towards men, though they are said to sometimes venture into [[Castle Town]] in search of boyfriends.{{Ref|OoT|597|[[Gossip Stone]]}} They initially extend this resentment to [[Link (Ocarina of Time)|Link]], but he can earn their respect by proving his apt thieving skills.{{Ref|OoT|1626|[[Gerudo Warrior]]}} | |||
In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Gerudo live in the [[Gerudo Desert]], which is located northwest of [[Hyrule]]. They are a race of thieves and have a giant fortress called [[Gerudo's Fortress]]. They always live together as a pack in big forts and worship the [[Goddess of the Sand]]. They have built a huge monument for her as well as a [[Spirit Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Spirit Temple]] in the [[Desert Colossus]]. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', the Gerudo live in the [[Gerudo Desert]], which is located northwest of [[Hyrule]].

The Gerudo is a dark-toned race consisting of only females with the exception of one male being born every one hundred years. That male according to legend is supposed to be their king. However, Nabooru rebelled against her king in ''Ocarina of Time'', the king being [[Ganon#Ocarina of Time|Ganondorf]]. The Gerudo females are usually dressed in purple attire, have red hair and wield Shamshir-like swords. They seem to not like Hylian culture at all and the relations with Hylian men are purely for survival reasons. The Gerudo seem to think that worshipping the [[Golden Goddesses]] and having gender roles is out of the ordinary. | The Gerudo is a dark-toned race consisting of only females with the exception of one male being born every one hundred years.
