- This article is about the Twilight Princess location. For the desert from Ocarina of Time, see Haunted Wasteland.
Gerudo Desert is a location from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It is possibly the same desert as the Haunted Wasteland in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that the Gerudo race of thieves lived by, but they are not present in the game. The desert is only accessible with the help of a special function of Fyer's cannon at Lake Hylia, or by the Twilight Portal that Link opens up at Gerudo Mesa. The desert is full of Peahats and Moldorms.
The Arbiter's Grounds is located in Gerudo Desert, which is the fourth dungeon and home to the Mirror of Twilight. Also, the Cave of Ordeals, a long mini-dungeon that has many floors full of enemies, home of the Great Fairy, is situated within Gerudo Mesa, where the large piece of the Bridge of Eldin that was teleported by Shadow Beasts was sent. Link can teleport the bridge part back to its original location in Eldin Province, not only repairing the Bridge of Eldin, but also opening the entrance to the Cave of Ordeals.
Interestingly, the map of Hyrule has the words Great Desert, spelled in Hylian, rather than Gerudo Desert.
[edit] Theory
Theory warning: This section contains theoretical information based on the viewpoints or research of one or several other users. It has not been officially verified by Nintendo and its factual accuracy is disputed.
If Link looks out at the distant desert from the Mirror Chamber with the Hawkeye, what appears to be the front of the Spirit Temple from Ocarina of Time can be seen.
