Overview

Ocarina of Time

The Crest of the Gerudo on the Mirror Shield

In Ocarina of Time, the Crest of the Gerudo appears on various Switches, Blocks, flags, and the Mirror Shield. In the Nintendo 64 version, it resembled a mirrored version of the real-world star and crescent symbol. It was later replaced in subsequent versions with a new symbol first introduced in Majora's Mask, as it violated Nintendo's own policy of avoiding religious material in their games.[2]
