The '''Desert of Doubt''' is the first stage in the {{FSA}} level of the same name, before the [[Desert Temple]] and [[Pyramid (Dungeon)|Pyramid]]. The [[Gerudo]] tribe can be found in a village near the beginning of this stage. The village is in a bit of an uproar after [[Ganon]]dorf, guardian of the Gerudo and the desert,<ref>{{Cite|Once every 100 years, a special child is born unto my people. That child is destined to be the mighty guardian of the Gerudo and the desert.|Gerudo|FSA}}</ref> left for the Pyramid against local laws. <ref>{{Cite|The village is in a bit of an uproar contending with a man who broke our laws.|Gerudo|FSA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Curse that Ganondorf! He broke our laws and left for the pyramid... I don't know what he plans, but I am worried...|Gerudo|FSA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Yes, this Ganondorf you speak of is a member of the Gerudo.

He has flouted the law and fled for the pyramid.|Gerudo Leader|FSA}}</ref> It is revealed that Ganondorf left in pursuit of power,<ref>{{Cite|But this child, its heart grew twisted with every passing year.

The desert areas affected by sand storms send the Links back to the Gerudo village, should they take the incorrect path. A tablet found early in the stage offers the answer to the seemingly difficult maze. The only way to progress is to "oppose the winds"<ref>{{cite|The road to the truth will open only for those who oppose the inconstant winds.|Tablet|FSA}}</ref> by taking paths the wind blows from.

*The motif on the ground at the entrance of the desert share similarities to the [[Wikipedia:Nazca Lines|Nazca Lines]]. It is seemingly also a reference to the [[Octorok]] pattern at the entrance of the [[Desert of Mystery]].

*If the Links take the wrong path, the laughter that accompanies their return to the start of the area sounds like the laugh of [[Ganon]]dorf.

*The Japanese name for the Desert of Doubt ({{Japanese|あやしの砂漠|Ayashi no Sabaku||3}}) is the same as the Japanese name for the [[Desert of Mystery]] in {{ALTTP}}.
