The Gerudos

[Nabooru]

How do the gerudos live in a place thats all dungeons and cells. I mean I know there is one room with chili or something but seriously! Theories?

My theory is that somewhere like behind the horse back archery game there is a door where you can go to the rest of gerudos fortress with like a street market and pretty houses and things that you have to be a real gerudo to get to.Because I think after link defeated gannondorf they let people in to that part.

Maybe it toughens them up! There is probably an extra bit where they live. I mean would you really want guards strolling around your bedroom?

[Hi no Seijin]

I agree with Nabooru.  We don't get to see that actual living area of the Gerudos.  But I think that they live in tents.

[Nabooru]

Tents? Wouldnt that like make them indian? By houses I kind of meant like apartment like things made of the same stone.

[Darth Wyndisis]

I agree with Twilight Zelda.  The Gerudo are a tough race and they can handle living conditions that other Hyruleans can't handle.  I bet they are pretty happy living in tents.

[Nabooru]

Hi no Seijin siad the part about the tents...and are you really that closed minded to think thats all there is to the gerudos, and that they just let people patrol in there bedroom!?

[Davros]

I believe that the Gerudu were origionally a nomadic race, in that they travelled around and in the desert moving as resources became scarce. Perhaps Gerudu valley was just the least harsh place to live in, due to it's close proximity to a river and quite flat land.

I know.  I was agreeing with here about the part about the environment toughening them up.  No, I don't think that, I think they have a tent village somewhere with tents for individuals without guards intruding.

gasp! maybee they dont need bedrooms because they dont sleep! i mean think about it! the guards are patroling 24-7!

[Darth Wyndisis]

Nah, they'd do it in shifts.

Yeah probably...I dont know about the tents though that just seems weird to me...

I agree with this.  Perhaps the Gerudo were once nomadic.  Besides, I don't think the desert would have enough stones for everyone to have a house made of one.  And stone absorbs heat, so it's going to get really hot inside.  Cloth, on the other hand, can have more air blow through it, thus keeping it cooler inside.  And when it gets cold at night, as most deserts are bound to get cold at night, it helps keep warmth in.  Tents are more beneficial for the Gerudos to live in.

(SPOILERS)I know it's not canon, but Dark Link's Eloze, found in the Library of The Grand Adventures portrays most of the Gerudos as a nomadic tribe, showing what I mean by it's beneficial for Gerudos to live in tents.

[Nabooru]

ok then, but why are there cells stone and stuff?

[Hi no Seijin]

What better way to torture their prisoners a little bit?  A prison is a harsh place, and the stone reflects that in the desert.  Their tents are their homes, and stone in the desert isn't exactly homely.

[Nabooru]

Ok you got me there.
