Gerudo (region)

Gerudo is one of the 8 regions in Hyrule. It is located on the northwest part of the kingdom, surrounded by the Termina region to the South, and the Hebra and Eldin regions to the East.

Population
The population of Gerudo consists of isolated pockets of civilization spread along the vast desert. Anku is the region's largest settlement along with its sister town, Oasis Town.

Geography and Climate
A large desert makes up most of the region, with more rocky terrain located along the edges. Even with the arid climate, the cities of Anku and Oasis Town flourish with life, due to the large aquifer located underneath the surface.

It is the region with the largest variation in temperature, going from scalding hot during the day to freezing cold during the night.

Oren Oasis
The only natural access point to the underground aquifer in the region. It became an important stop in the Emerald Trail, a place to rest while crossing the desert.

Ikana Valley
A series of canyons that run along the south border of the region. In it lies the ruins of the ancient Ikana Kingdom.
