Homebrew Gerudo Species Details
The Gerudo, also known as the Female Pirates, are a race of thieves in The Legend of Zelda series. They live in a harsh desert that bears their name. The climate of the desert has made the Gerudo tough and resourceful. They are warriors by reputation, feared and respected in the countries they inhabit. Due to a unique biological quirk, the race consists almost solely of females. A single male Gerudo is born into the tribe every hundred years. This male is destined by Gerudo law to become their king. Ganondorf is the only Gerudo male to have appeared in the series.
The Gerudo as a race have appeared in Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Four Swords Adventures and Breath of the Wild. In The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, Ganondorf is the only Gerudo seen, and in Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages, Twinrova are the only Gerudo seen.
