In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', the Gerudo inhabit [[Gerudo Village]] within the [[Desert of Doubt]], having left their previous home in the [[Gerudo Desert]] around the time that the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' occurred. They are depicted as having become aware of the suffering they caused in the past—denouncing the actions of their former king, [[Ganon#Four Swords Adventures|Ganondorf]]—and now wish to make amends with the [[Hylians]]. Furthermore, Ganondorf's own presence has failed to sway them, remaining firm that he has broken the law by embarking on his quest to steal the [[Trident]]. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|Four Swords Adventures]]'', the Gerudo inhabit [[Gerudo Village]] within the [[Desert of Doubt]], having left their previous home in the [[Gerudo Desert]] around the time that the events of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' occurred.

In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', the identity of the Gerudo has been expanded upon significantly. Their name is lent to the province of [[Gerudo (Province)|Gerudo]] as well as its principal community, [[Gerudo Town]], in which lives the highest concentration of Gerudo in [[Hyrule]]. Since last appearing in the series, the nomadic nature that is characteristic to the race has seemingly developed even further. Gerudo women are found to be wandering in all parts of Hyrule, many times with the aim of selling their wares to, or trading with, distant customers. Due to the lack of Gerudo males, however, it is more typically the case that they are on quests in search of the perfect mate. This will often take a significant portion of the Gerudo's life, and some are never able to find their true love. | In ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'', the identity of the Gerudo has been expanded upon significantly.

The Gerudo are known for their pride and exuberance, leading to a somewhat stubborn nature towards other Hyrulean races—though they are on more amicable terms with said peoples than as depicted previously. In terms of romantic prospects, they have only ever been shown in pairings with Hylians, and it is unknown as to whether the Gerudo are compatible with [[Rito]] or [[Goron]] partners. Gorons in particular may not be suitable mates, as suggested by their toleration within [[Gerudo Town]], where men are typically denied entry. One Goron, [[Strade]], remarks that he is unsure of why he is allowed admittance.{{Ref| — [[Strade]], ''[[Breath of the Wild]]''|''I made it to Gerudo Town!
