Crest of the Gerudo

The Gerudo Symbol is an emblem which first appears in Ocarina of Time, and has been a recurring element is many other games in the Zelda series. It is frequeqently seen in connection with the Gerudo tribe. so whether the items with symbols belonged to the forces of evil or not, it is a cameo through the Zelda history. In Ocarina of Time, it appeared almost identical to a horizontally mirrored Islam symbol, but was replaced with the current one in OoT: Master Quest, likely to prevent offending Islamists.

Ocarina of Time Master Quest
The symbol appears first and most frequently in Master Quest. It replaces all instances of the crescent-moon symbol from Ocarina of Time, appearing on the Mirror Shield, as well as on all of the game's floor-switches and blocks. It also features on the Gerudo flag.

In The Wind Waker, the symbol can be found within the Master Sword chamber in Hyrule Castle, beneath the Great Sea.
