(→‎Breath of the Wild: He was correct. The law has been instated for ages (as shown by Zelda using it to escape from Link 100 years prior). It is hence not around due to the Yiga, who are also as a group about 100 years old in BotW. Also, the plural of voe appears to be voe. "Voes" is never said, only phrases such as "No voe!".)

The Gerudo are a mostly female race primarily living in [[Gerudo Town]]. When Link first arrives at Gerudo Town, no voe (men) are allowed in to the town so he has to return to Kara Kara Bazaar in order to buy the [[Gerudo Clothes]] so he can pass as a woman and enter the town. No male Gerudo are ever met, but Gerudo voe clothing can be bought from the [[Gerudo Secret Club]] indicating that Gerudo men do indeed exist but are rarely born, similar to previous games, where the Gerudo King has been the only male baby born in the century.

[[Riju|Makeela Riju]] is the current chief of the Gerudo, having succeeded her mother after her death. She assists [[Link]] in his efforts to reclaim the [[Divine Beast]] [[Vah Naboris]]. Because of the implication of Riju being in cahoots with a voe to reclaim the Divine Beast in spite of voes being banned in town, Link cannot ever enter Gerudo Town in the game without wearing the aforementioned vai clothes, notwithstanding the great service provided to the Gerudo by reclaiming the Divine Beast.

The Gerudo Chiefdom follows a matrilineal heredetary succession system with no male influence, and it's not known what status, if any, the Chieftainess' husband holds, though it's assumed to be completely negligible. The status of past Gerudo men is not known either, other than that of [[Ganondorf]].

The Gerudo, unlike in many previous game depictions of the race, are in good economic and social affluence in spite of the presence of the [[Divine Beast Vah Naboris]] hindering their free movement in their desert home, having amicable relations with other Hyrulean races, and being in generally good spirits.

Also, unlike other depictions in previous games, the Gerudo in ''Breath of the Wild'' do not engage in banditry or other illegal activities due to marginalization.
