Gerudo Valley

Gerudo Valley is a location from Ocarina of time. This Valley located to the west of Hyrule Field and is divided by a large chasm, at the bottom of which lies Zora's River, whose waters flow to Lake Hylia.

History

Gerudo Valley is home to the race known as the Gerudo. The main antagonist of the game, Ganondorf, was born in this land. The hostility of the valley appeared to be the reason for trying to take over Hyrule, so he could provide a better life for himself and his people. However, the power of the Triforce twisted his mind beyond his original goal.

When Link was a child, he cannot normally travel beyond the valley, where lies the gerudo's fortress and haunted wasteland, as Gerudo are blocking the way. He can however take a cucco and glide down to a small indent at the bottom of the canyon to find a Gerudo, a cow, and soil for planting magic beans. Another ledge that must be glided to contains a crate with a piece of heart inside. Once link rescues all the carpenters from the Gerudo's fortress, they will repair the bridge, and Aveil will give link a Gerudo membership card, which allows him access to the fortress and the haunted wasteland.

There are several glitches which can allow access to the fortress as a child. They include using the cucco, using the bombcu flip or travelling back from the spirit temple.
