Features and Overview
Majora's Mask
Breath of the Wild
The Northwest Gate is one of three gates that serve as an entrance to Gerudo Town. It is guarded by Laine, a Gerudo Soldier. Past the Gate is the Sand-Seal Rental Shop Northwest Booth, which is operated by Kohm.
When Link speaks to Laine at the Northwest Gate, she will warn him against traveling the West Barrens during a Sandstorm, as travelers can easily become lost.[4] She warns him that both thieves and priceless treasures are hidden in Sandstorms.[5] After receiving permission from Teake during the "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" Main Quest, Link will be able to ask Laine about the Karusa Valley.[6] She will point him towards the Valley from the Northwest Gate.[7]
Link can also ask about the treasure in the Sandstorm.[8] Laine points out the nearby Swordswoman Statue, explaining that there are more of them throughout the Gerudo Desert.[9] There are rumors that the Statues lead towards an ancient treasure, but she dismisses this as superstition.[10] She also considers it too risky, considering the dangerous Monsters in the area.[11] This begins "The Silent Swordswomen" Shrine Quest.

OK, the barricade has been set up at the west gate. That should slow down any enemies that attack that position.
— Padda (Tears of the Kingdom) - ↑
This is the northwest gate of Gerudo Town.
— Laine (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
We caution all travelers to avoid the sandstorms. If you're caught in a sandstorm, you'll lose your way. Even us Gerudo have trouble navigating them.
— Laine (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
The danger of the sandstorms makes the desert the perfect hiding place for thieving bandits and priceless treasures.
— Laine (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
[Karusa Valley?] So you're the Hylian that Captain Teake was talking about? The thieves' hideout is in Karusa Valley.
— Laine (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
You can't see Karusa Valley from here, but it's in that direction.
— Laine (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
[Treasure?] Having said that, I don't really know the details either.
— Laine (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
There are statues of swordswomen scattered across Gerudo Desert. They're remnants of ages long past.
— Laine (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
People talk about the statues pointing to the hiding place of ancient treasure... but that's just superstition.
— Laine (Breath of the Wild) - ↑
Even if it was true, there are dangerous monsters in the sandstorms.
— Laine (Breath of the Wild)
I wouldn't risk it.
