{{OTOC}}

The Gerudo Highlands surround the [[Gerudo Desert]] and isolate the area from the rest of {{Term|BotW|Hyrule|link}}. Its cliffs sit to the east of the Desert and its tall, snowy mountains overlook the Desert to the north. [[Link]] needs protection from the [[Temperature|cold]] to navigate the northern and southeastern Highlands unharmed. Gerudo Highlands is the location where the ancient [[Sheikah]] technology was first uncovered.<ref>{{Cite|We decided to heed the prophecy and began excavating large areas of land. It wasn't long before we discovered several ancient relics made by the hands of our distant ancestors.|King Rhoam|BotW}}</ref> Nine [[Stone Talus]]es can be found throughout the Highlands.

The {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Highlands}} contain two distinct climates, "Gerudo frost" and "Gerudo plateau." The two climates are unique to the {{Term|BotW|Gerudo Highlands}}, and do not appear in other map areas.

The Gerudo frost climate is split into two sub-areas. The northern portion spans from {{Term|BotW|Mount Agaat|link}} to {{Term|BotW|Zirco Mesa|link}}, with the middle bounded by the {{Term|BotW|Cliffs of Ruvara|link}} and {{Term|BotW|Birida Lookout|link}}. The canyon housing the {{Term|BotW|Yiga Clan Hideout|link}} forms a noticeable intrusion into the area.

The southern portion of the Gerudo frost climate surrounds {{Term|BotW|Mount Granajh|link}} and {{Term|BotW|Daval Peak|link}}. Comparatively, it has a noticeable lack of {{Plural|BotW|Wildberry|link}} and cutting {{Term|BotW|Grass|link}} can spawn {{Plural|BotW|Hot-Footed Frog|link}} instead of {{Plural|BotW|Restless Cricket|link}}.

The Gerudo plateau climate is a dominant, contiguous climate. In the north, the area surrounds the base of {{Term|BotW|Mount Agaat}} and is split by the Gerudo frost climate. It stretches southeast to the {{Term|BotW|Oseira Plains|link}} and {{Term|BotW|Nautelle Wetlands|link}}.
