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.

This is the northwest gate of Gerudo Town.

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.

The danger of the sandstorms makes the desert the perfect hiding place for thieving bandits and priceless treasures.

[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.
