The Gerudo Desert is a desert in [[Hyrule]] and was first introduced in [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] and reappears appears in [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]. It features a large vast desert that is not occupied by any of the races living in Hyrule except for the Gerudo tribe, who have a fortress there (in Ocarina of Time) called the [[Gerudo Fortress]]. Although it is not of great importance to the game, it features some parts of the story line. In both games the desert contains each a dungeon. In Ocarina of Time the [[Spirit Temple]] and in Twilight Princess; [[Arbiter's Grounds]]. It also contains the [[Mirror Chamber]], which holds the [[Mirror of Twilight]]; the main way to the [[Twilight Realm]].

[[Image:Desertcolossus.jpg||175px|left|thumb|The Gerudo desert with the [[Desert Colossus]] in [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]]]
The Gerudo Desert is found in the [[Desert Province]] in {{TP}}, located in the {{exp|GCN version; southeast in the Wii version|southwest}} corner of [[Hyrule]]. Although called Gerudo Desert, the [[Gerudo]] themselves do not appear in {{TP|-}}. The Gerudo Desert is completely cut off from the rest of Hyrule after being abandoned years ago. At first, Link can only reach it by being shot out of [[Fyer]]'s cannon and can only leave by [[Warping]] out. According to [[Auru]], the Desert once held a prison to hold Hyrule's worst criminals.<ref>{{Cite|The Gerudo Desert once held a prison built to hold the worst criminals this land has ever known... The criminals who were sentenced to death were sent directly to the underworld by a cursed mirror that was kept in the prison...Now that prison is condemned, and even the road leading to the Desert is impassable.|Auru|TP}}</ref> The Gerudo Desert covers a vast territory, but most of its surface is a barren wasteland with no signs of life other than enemies like [[Moldorm]]s, [[Shadow Beast]]s, [[Bulblin]]s and [[Leever]]s.
In [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]] the Gerudo Desert is the [[Haunted Wasteland]] and the [[Gerudo Valley]] It is habited by a female thief-tribe called the [[Gerudo]].  It is located in the west part of Hyrule and it is one of the biggest areas of the game. The Gerudo lay in there fortress called the [[Gerudo Fortress]]. At the begining [[Link]] gets caught by the Gerudo and manages to escape from prison. After getting the [[Gerudo Membership Card]], the path to the desert will be opended. The desert in Ocarina is called the Haunted Wasteland, it is not habitated by any people, only monsters. This desert has a constent sandstorm and will only be passed by an instruction given by the Gerudos to reach the final destination of the desert. This will help Link to reach the [[Desert Colossus]], a massive statue carved into stone to believed to represent the Gerudo's godess. Inside the Colossus, lays the eight dungeon of the game; The [[Spirit Temple]]. There Link, defeats [[Twinrova]] and gets the [[Spirit Medallion]].


The Gerudo Desert holds the [[Arbiter's Grounds (Dungeon)|Arbiter's Grounds]] [[Dungeon]], the aforementioned prison. On top of it lies the [[Mirror Chamber]], a large circular temple where the [[Sage#Twilight Princess|Sages]] reside. It houses the [[Mirror of Twilight]], which is the only way to access the [[Twilight Realm]]. The Mirror of Twilight can create a portal inside a gigantic rock that leads to the [[Palace of Twilight]]. The mirror was shattered into four pieces by [[Zant]], but the three missing pieces are recovered by [[Link]] and [[Midna]]. After the defeat of [[Ganondorf]], Midna departs to the Twilight Palace and shatters the mirror completely. The [[Gerudo Mesa]] can also be found in the Gerudo Desert. It holds the [[Cave of Ordeals]], an optional 50-floor dungeon.

==In Twilight Princess==
==={{BotW|-}}===
The Gerudo Desert reappears in [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]] in the [[Desert Province]]. It is located in the southeast corner of the Twilight Princess map in the Wii version and in the southwest corner of the [[Gamecube]] version. This time, Gerudo Desert is uninhabitated by persons (unlike in Ocarina of Time). It expands on a vast territory, but most of its surface is a barren wasteland with no signs of life other than some monsters like [[Moldorm|Moldorms]], [[Shadow Beast|Shadow Beasts]], [[Bulblin|Bulblins]] and [[Leever|Leevers]]. It also has long endless holes with in it's surface which makes it's harder the posibility of moving faster through the desert. The gerudo desert has only two significative locations: [[Arbiter's Grounds]] and [[Gerudo Mesa]]. Here lays the forth dungeon; Arbiter's Grounds and as well as the first shard of the [[Mirror of Twilight]]. On the top of [[Arbiter's Grounds]], lays the [[Mirror Chamber]] which is the main and only way to the [[Twilight Realm]] with he mirror of twilight. This open a portal inside a gigantic rock and it is abel to reach the [[Twilight Palace]]. The mirror was destroyed into 4 pieces by [[Zant]] but later is recoverd by Link and Midna. After the defeat of [[Ganondorf]], Midna in here real form, leaves to the [[Twilight Palace]] and destroyes the mirror; with no chance of rebuilding it.
In {{BotW|-}}, the Gerudo Desert is a vast desert wasteland located in the southwest section of [[Hyrule]] in the [[Gerudo (Region)|Gerudo]] region. It is plagued by sandstorms that disrupt Link's [[Sheikah Slate]] [[Map]], rendering it unusable. Four [[Molduga]]s can be found throughout the desert. [[Stalizalfos]] appear all over it during the night.
Aside from the Arbiter's Grounds, the [[Gerudo Mesa]] is the only other important location there. In the it is where the [[Cave of Ordeals]], a large optional dungeon where the [[Fairy Tears]] can be retrieved. Strangely, the Gerudo Desert is completely cut off from the rest of Hyrule. It can first only be reached by being shot out of Fyer's cannon, and can only be left by warping from [[Lake Hylia]]. Even after the game being after Ocarina of Time, the Gerudo tribe is no where seen in this desert and and doesn't seem that they lived in it.


It should be noted, however, that a mesa can be seen far to the south of the "playable" desert area.  This mesa resembles the the Spirit Temple as seen from the Gerudos' Fortress in Ocarina of Time.

This article refers to the location in Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. For the desert containing Gerudos in Ocarina of Time, see Haunted Wasteland and Desert Colossus.

The Gerudo Desert[1][2][3], also known as the Western Desert,(TP)[4] and the Great Desert,(TP)[5] is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series.

Features and Overview

Twilight Princess

The Gerudo Desert is found in the Desert Province in Twilight Princess, located in the southwest corner of Hyrule. Although called Gerudo Desert, the Gerudo themselves do not appear in Twilight Princess. The Gerudo Desert is completely cut off from the rest of Hyrule after being abandoned years ago. At first, Link can only reach it by being shot out of Fyer's cannon and can only leave by Warping out. According to Auru, the Desert once held a prison to hold Hyrule's worst criminals.[6] The Gerudo Desert covers a vast territory, but most of its surface is a barren wasteland with no signs of life other than enemies like Moldorms, Shadow Beasts, Bulblins and Leevers.

The Gerudo Desert holds the Arbiter's Grounds Dungeon, the aforementioned prison. On top of it lies the Mirror Chamber, a large circular temple where the Sages reside. It houses the Mirror of Twilight, which is the only way to access the Twilight Realm. The Mirror of Twilight can create a portal inside a gigantic rock that leads to the Palace of Twilight. The mirror was shattered into four pieces by Zant, but the three missing pieces are recovered by Link and Midna. After the defeat of Ganondorf, Midna departs to the Twilight Palace and shatters the mirror completely. The Gerudo Mesa can also be found in the Gerudo Desert. It holds the Cave of Ordeals, an optional 50-floor dungeon.
