Gerudo is both a region and a race found in Breath of the Wild.
Region
The Gerudo region is located in the southwest corner of Hyrule. Its neighboring regions are Hebra to the north, Central Hyrule to the northeast, and Faron to the east. Only one road provides easy travel through Gerudo, entering the Gerudo Highlands from Hyrule Field and winding through the Gerudo Canyon Pass. After exiting the Gerudo Canyon Pass, it extends into the Gerudo Desert as far Gerudo Town.
Gerudo Town is the only city found within the Gerudo region and is home to the Gerudo, the all-female race from the Gerudo region. Kara Kara Bazaar is the only other regularly inhabited location within the Gerudo region, home to a few merchants who have traveled from Gerudo Town and a resting place for travelers crossing the Gerudo Desert.
Temperatures vary greatly in the Gerudo region with the Gerudo Desert being hot enough to require level 2 heat resistance when traveling during the day and level 2 cold resistance needed in both the Gerudo Desert during the night and all day in the Gerudo Highlands.

Enemies in the Gerudo Region
Guardians are mostly scarce in this region. They are found primarily in the southernmost part of the Gerudo Highlands along the southern edge of the Hyrule border, surrounding the South Lomei Labyrinth.
Stone Taluses of varying types can be found throughout the Gerudo Highlands, while the Molduga is found in the Gerudo Desert. Unlike the Stone Talus, which can be found all throughout Hyrule, the Molduga only inhabits the Gerudo Desert. Less commonly, a few Lynels may be found on higher peaks in the northern Gerudo Highlands.
The headquarters of the Yiga Clan can also be found in the Gerudo Highlands, in a canyon to the north of Gerudo Desert.
The dragon Farosh can also be found flying through the Gerudo region along the peaks of the northern Gerudo Highlands. It is most accessible when it crosses the Gerudo Summit, flying low through the small canyon that runs the length of the summit.

Race
The Gerudo are an all-female race primarily living in Gerudo Town, found roughly in the center of the Gerudo Desert. Makeela Riju is the current chief of the Gerudo.
In order to marry, Gerudo leave Gerudo Town to travel across Hyrule in hopes of finding a husband. Many Gerudo return to Gerudo Town to sell wares they procure during their travels.
Though the Gerudo speak to visitors in Hylian, they have their own language and often use certain terms when speaking to travelers. They recommended that travelers learn a few words to help with their visits to Gerudo Town:
- Vasaaq: welcome
- Sav'otta: good morning
- Sav'aaq: good day
- Sav'orq: good-bye
- Sarqso: thank you
- Vai: woman
- Voe: man
For entertainment, the Gerudo often watch or participate in Sand-Seal Racing or can be found at the Noble Canteen where the Noble Pursuit is a favorite among the Gerudo. Local spots of interest include the Northern Icehouse, the Kara Kara Bazaar, and the Gerudo Great Skeleton.
Trivia
- The Voltfruit, the Molduga, the Wasteland Coyote, and the Sand Seal are native only to the Gerudo region and cannot be found anywhere else in Hyrule.
