Northern Icehouse
The Northern Icehouse is a recurring location in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2]
Features and Overview
Breath of the Wild
The Northern Icehouse is an underground Ice depository north of Gerudo Town, which is used to store Ice brought to the Gerudo Desert from the Gerudo Highlands.[3] The Ice is then used to make the drinks at The Noble Canteen in Town, including their famous Noble Pursuit.[4][5] The House is managed by a Gerudo soldier named Anche.[6] Since Anche goes to sleep early, Ice can only be taken from the Icehouse during the day.[7][8]
As part of "The Perfect Drink" Side Quest, Link offers to retrieve Ice from the Northern Icehouse for Furosa, the proprietor of The Noble Canteen.[9] Once Link reveals that he is at the Icehouse on Furosa's behalf, Anche allows him to take a block of Ice, though she warns him to be careful of the Gerudo Desert's Heat.[10] Should Link allow the Ice to melt, Anche will allow him to take another block.[11]
After the Side Quest is completed, Link will be able to partake in the Carry the Ice! Mini-Game at the Northern Icehouse. When Link speaks to Anche, she asks if he is willing to deliver Ice to Furosa again.[12] She claims that she is unable to leave the Icehouse due to the amount of Monsters in the area, promising that Furosa will reimburse him for his work.[13] Link must also pay 50 Rupees in order to take the Ice.[14] At the end of the ruins between the Northern Icehouse and Gerudo Town, Furosa will reward Link with either a Silver Rupee or a Gold Rupee.[15][16]
If Link attempts to melt a formation of Ice inside the Northern Icehouse or if she detects any Fire inside the Icehouse, Anche will scold him for damaging her supply of Ice before kicking him out.[17]

- ↑ "[Special drinks?] Well, a big part of the drink is the ice we use from the icehouse. It makes them especially refreshing." — Furosa (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "All of the drinks here are made using ice from the nearby icehouse. That's why we're able to have ice-cold drinks, even in the middle of the desert! The name of this drink is Noble Pursuit. It's the signature product of this store." — Jules (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "Seeing as we live in a desert, it's pretty important stuff for us Gerudo... So I manage this place 24 hours a day." — Anche (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "You should also know that she heads to bed quite early. If you plan to go, you'll need to get there while it's bright out." — Furosa (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "...Who are you? My work's...done for the day... If you...need something... come back...tomorrow..." — Anche (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "[Should I get it for you?] Are you serious? You'll get it? That'd be a huge help. Pokki is my best customer, after all. I wish I could get the ice myself. Anyway, the icehouse is north of town. Anche manages it, but I think if you explain the situation, she'll let you have some ice. You should know that she heads to bed quite early. If you plan to go, you'll need to get there while it's bright out. Oh, young lady... Carrying ice all the way through the desert and then all the way to town? I can't let that stand? If you bring the ice to the entrance to the ruins—between town and the icehouse—I can take it from there." — Furosa (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "I see... Well, if Furosa wants ice, then you should bring her some. You're permitted to take some ice. You've taken the heat into account, right? If you move too slowly, the ice will surely melt. Furosa has no use for water..." — Anche (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "Even the Gerudo make mistakes transporting ice, sometimes. Just grab another block and try again." — Anche (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "Oh! Talk about great timing! Can you go deliver ice to Furosa again?" — Anche (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "Usually I'm the one who's supposed to deliver it, but... Lately there've been more and more monsters skulking around here, so I can't be away from the icehouse. Once you've delivered it, Furosa should be able to reimburse you for the cost of the ice." — Anche (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "When you get the ice from Anche, make sure you pay 50 rupees for it." — Furosa (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "You did it in XX:XX.XX? You're like a professional ice deliverer. Including the price of the ice... I'm assuming this reward feels ample for services rendered, right?" — Furosa (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "You've got to be kidding me. Ice delivered in XX:XX.XX? That is WAY beyond my expectations! You're like a savant at ice running. Let me reimburse you for the price of the ice...and I'd better dig deep for something extra to reward a run like that!" — Furosa (Breath of the Wild)
- ↑ "You! What's the idea, bringing that fire into the icehouse?! Get out of here with that! You're gonna ruin our supply!" — Anche (Breath of the Wild)
