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.


===Gerudo Tower===
====Climates====
{{Main|Gerudo Tower}}
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 Tower is a [[Sheikah Tower]] situated just north of the Gerudo Desert. It is the tallest Tower in [[Hyrule]], but is situated within a deep valley surrounded by cliffs. To reach the top, Link can go to the top of Birida Lookout and [[Paraglider|glide]] to the Tower, where he will be able to reach the climbing platforms attached to the upper section of it. Once the Tower is activated, Link will gain a map of the surrounding northern, snowy mountainous section of Gerudo Highlands. [[Kass]] can be found playing his accordion at the top of the Tower.


===Wasteland Tower===
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.
{{Main|Wasteland Tower}}
The Wasteland Tower is a [[Sheikah Tower]] located in the east Gerudo Highlands. It sits in a brown, swampy pool on the northernmost peak of Spectacle Rock. Activating the Tower will update Link's [[Sheikah Slate]] with a map of the surrounding area, including the eastern section of the Gerudo Highlands and the entirety of the Gerudo Desert.


===Spectacle Rock===
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}}.
{{Main|Spectacle Rock}}
Spectacle Rock is the name of two large circular mesas in east portion of Gerudo Highlands. The Wasteland Tower sits on the northernmost mesa. After Link has freed the Divine Beast Vah Naboris, it will climb onto the southernmost mesa and aim its sights at [[Hyrule Castle#Breath of the Wild|Hyrule Castle]] in preparation for the battle with Calamity Ganon.


===Vatorsa Snowfield===
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}}.
{{Main|Vatorsa Snowfield}}
Vatorsa Snowfield is a flat, snowy area in the northern portion of Gerudo Highlands. The Snowfield has multiple chunks of ice that Link can melt with a any form of fire, such as with a [[Campfire]] or [[Fire Arrow]]s. Ice chunks can contain enemies, [[Treasure Chest]]s or Koroks. There is also a large, downward slope that allows Link to travel north quickly by [[Shield Surfing]]. A Stone Talus can be found in the western portion of the Snowfield.


===Mount Agaat===

The Gerudo Highlands are a recurring location The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2][3]

Features and Overview

Breath of the Wild

The Gerudo Highlands surround the Gerudo Desert and isolate the area from the rest of Hyrule Kingdom. 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 cold to navigate the northern and southeastern Highlands unharmed. Gerudo Highlands is the location where the ancient Sheikah technology was first uncovered.[4] Nine Stone Taluses can be found throughout the Highlands.

Climates

The Gerudo Highlands contain two distinct climates, "Gerudo frost" and "Gerudo plateau." The two climates are unique to the 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 Mount Agaat to Zirco Mesa, with the middle bounded by the Cliffs of Ruvara and Birida Lookout. The canyon housing the Yiga Clan Hideout forms a noticeable intrusion into the area.

The southern portion of the Gerudo frost climate surrounds Mount Granajh and Daval Peak. Comparatively, it has a noticeable lack of Wildberries and cutting Grass can spawn Hot-Footed Frogs instead of Restless Crickets.

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