Talk:Gerudo

from Zeldapedia, the Legend of Zelda wiki

Is the plural of Gerudo: Gerudo, Gerudos, or Gerudoes? I have seen it a couple of different ways around the site. M. H. Avril 04:54, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

"We don't care about the "Gerudo" anymore. They're so rude!" as quoted by one of the carpenters of OOT. "But she commands a lot of respect amongst the Gerudo..." as quoted by Twinrova in the Spirit Temple when referring to Nabooru. Therefore, it is just "Gerudo" for both singular and plural forms.

mhavril39 – The Royal M. H. Avril Decrees this TALK – 02:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC) (UTC) Thanks, but I also went in the game and found that the other people, such as the Hylians and the other tribes refer to them as "Gerudos", so I had changed it to Gerudos previously. I guess the best thing to say is that both plurals are correct.

In the major games, I have only ever heard the "Gerudo." Hero of Time 87 03:29, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

mhavril39 – The Royal M. H. Avril Decrees this TALK – 03:32, 10 March 2008 (UTC) I just started replaying Oot on the Wii, and most Hylians say Gerudos. I put a reference at the bottom of the page saying that both are probably correct.

As I said, I've only ever heard those that have had actual contact with the Gerudo, including Twinrova, Gerudo themselves, refer to them as such, the "Gerudo." I'd say Twinrova (Gerudo witches) would be more correct than Hylians that haven't had nearly so much contact with them. Hero of Time 87 03:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

mhavril39 – The Royal M. H. Avril Decrees this TALK – {{{time}}} Well, you know, some people pluralize fish as fish and some people pluralize it as fishes, but both are still correct. I don't think that we really need to make such a big deal about this one.

I believe in being grammatically correct. And a pair of Gerudo themselves named it as "the Gerudo." I'm just trying to keep it correct, since that's the version I've heard most and "came directly from the horse's mouth" you might say. Hero of Time 87 04:24, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

That is an excelent point however you must bear the following in mind. it is possible that one of terms are archaic and the other is contemporary (Twinorva is aproxomitaly 400 years old)--Foutlet (talk) 15:02, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

vidiman – --i love the monkey head, robin hood, rock on, cheese steak jimmy's TALK – {{{time}}} Hm, is GANON the MALE Gerudo said to be born every 100 years or so?

TatlTael – Tatl could beat Navi in a cagefight. Just ask Navi's cold whimpering body. TALK – Time to kill Navi. Yes, but originally Ganon was Ganondorf, King of the Gerudo. Ganondorf transformed into Ganon after Link defeated him for the first time.

Ganon has been around for over 100 years, so there is another boy gerudo out there ,too. - solar flute

UberPhoeb – Hello, my name is UberPhoeb, you ate my taco. Prepare to die. TALK – CONTRIBUTIONS -- EDIT COUNT -- OTHER ADMINS Hmm, does the Triforce of Power grant Immortal Life possibly, so Ganon could live forever? ‘‘I WANT MY TACO BACK, SON OF A BITCH!’’

AuronKaizer - "All toasters toast...toast." TALK - THE LIST - PIT OF RECKONING - SANDBOX - WIDGETS - ToC - SUGGESTIONS Well, it made Ganondorf impervious to the Ancient Sages' execution attempt, so I don't see why not. Being invulnerable and living forever are two different things though.

Aeronflux – I am made from the dust of the stars, and the oceans flow in my veins... Here I hide in the heart of the city, like a stranger coming out of the rain.; Presto, by Rush TALK – 3... 2... 1... ACTIVATE ANTI-CLIMACTICISM! I just cleaned it up with a quote template, but I must know... In the quote in the beginning, does the Gossip Stone really say, plainly, Market?

Xykeb Zraliv – Instead of making the moon hit Termina faster, use your energy to give it a face. Your weapon of mass destruction may as well look nice. TALK – REVIEWS - MAJORA'S MASK WALKTHROUGH - ORACLE OF AGES WALKTHROUGH - TOP TEN As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure none of the Gossip Stones in the game say anything like that at all, and even if any had, it would have "They say" at the beginning. The real quote (according to the Gossip Stone Quote page, but from what I remember, this quote is correct) is "They say that Gerudos sometimes come to Hyrule Castle Town to look for boyfriends."

[edit] Picture

[[File:|50px]]

Xicera – I'm rare like Mr. Clean with Hair... TALK – 'Lil Wayne rox my sox!!! But wait... I'm not wearing sox... How does he rock socks that I'm not wearing? I guess he's awesome like that! Would it be possible to get a better picture, one that doesn't have purple shiny stuff around it * . *... if you can't find any, can I look or can someone combine a picture of Nabooru and Gandondorf, or I could. Basically, it looks somewhat unprofessional.

[edit] Phantom Hourglass

Do they really show up in Phantom Hourglass? If so, they should have a section for them. If not, then the PHNav needs to be removed Dialask77 Ice Wizard 18:53, 1 June 2009 (UTC) people think that pirate jolene or whats her name is one. Oni Dark Link 18:55, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Stuck on em

What is the big orange thing on Ganondorf and the rest of the Gerudos foreheads? I've never seen an explanation in OoT or MM. --68.211.156.205 04:25, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Moblin slayer – Can you feel it, see it, hear it today? If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway. You will never understand it 'cuz it happens too fast and it feels so good, it's like walking on glass... TALK – Yeah... Its a gem, just there for decoration, as far as I can tell.

That jewel is in Twilight Princes as well (Ganondorf onlyDRTJR (talk) 16:09, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I would not be so quick to dismiss the gem as a trinket or for decoration. lets go over who we have seen wearing it: gannondorf,Noburo, the "third in comand", koume and kotake, as well as the gerudos who dule you with swords. knowing this it is safe to assume that it represents a symbol of status, and may possses religeous value as well. --Foutlet (talk) 18:03, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Sorta reminds me of the "castes" of Hindu culture. --AuronKaizer! 22:46, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

Is the "G" hard or soft, do we know? If no Ninty rep has ever said the word.. what about its Japanese form? Many articles here give the Jap. name of the topic, but this one lacks it. Haaaaaalp! :P Dazuro (talk) 02:29, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Redeadhunter – A real-life Zombie Hunter TALK – My weapon of choice:Bomb arrow It could be an 'h' sound for all we know(Or is that j?)

Triforce 14 — Ni! TALK — CONTRIBUTIONS — EDIT COUNT — OTHER ADMINS I always pronounced it with a hard "g" sound

Baltro - "i know what i like: cupcakes. i know what i dont like: geometry. everything else pretty much falls in between." (02:59, 6 August 2009 (UTC)) - TALK - CONTRIBUTIONS - EDIT COUNT I always said it like "Juh-rudo". But I know people that say "Gah-rudo".

User3000 – Just another dork editing wiki pages. TALK – please? I always said it with a hard G. I wish Nintendo would provide pronunciations for some of these words. Even names like Epona get mixed up. x.x

Saria, Midna, every name is under debate when there is no Vocals in the Game DRTJR (talk) 01:51, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] One male

Has anyone else ever wondered how a full-blooded male Gerudo could be born when there are no other Gerudo men.

Metroidhunter32 – I have created a tournament of heroes. TALK – Vote upon it. I remeber a gossip stone saying that they take hylians for boyfriends. Dominant genes perhaps?

hehe those dirty rats. disobeying the laws of nature, but whoever said they were full-blooded Gerudo?--C2 02:17, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Well they are a rather extreme race, I highly doubt they would accept someone who's not full-blooded.

Metroidhunter32 – I have created a tournament of heroes. TALK – Vote upon it. Perhaps that one male is expected to live long enough to sire the next male and a bunch of females also. *Waggles eyebrows* Ganondorf has certenally lived long enough

in some time lines he's old enough to have sired ten or more(i always though that it was a magical property in there blood that made every gerudo child pure blooded) on the other hand he has pointy ears in LoZ TP DRTJR (talk) 04:40, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Redeadhunter – A real-life Zombie Hunter TALK – My weapon of choice:Bomb arrow While we are on the Hylian men subject, I can't help but notice that the Gerudo have round ears, making them human, a different species from Hylian. I think we all know where I'm going with that theory.

so did Ganon in OoT but is TP he had pointy ears so it's different ganon(i highly dought) or it's them fixing a Boo-boo because they can preform magic DRTJR (talk) 02:37, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Redeadhunter – A real-life Zombie Hunter TALK – My weapon of choice:Bomb arrow I saw someone mention a new Gerudo Boy after Ganondorf, Knowing Ganon, He would have killed any Succesor to avoid.

[edit] Deku Nut escape?

DragonPhoenix13 – Skipping whenever possible maintains a high level of insanity. TALK – Dragons Rule I noticed that when you defeat the Gerudo Pirates in Majora's Mask, they use the Deku Nut escape similar to Impa and Sheik. Does anybody have any idea what this means?

User3000 – Just another dork editing wiki pages. TALK – please? I always figured it was the Deku Nut thing. Should that be in the article?

DragonPhoenix13 – Skipping whenever possible maintains a high level of insanity. TALK – Dragons Rule Maybe. After all, it has some significance because the only other race that I know uses the Deku Nuts in that manner are the Shiekah.

[edit] posible major export?

i have noticed that every block and swich has the gerudo insignia on them. i belive that the gerudo manufacture/ install said swiches as theire primary export. because no settled civilaization can rely on theivery alone, they probobly put the abundance of stone to good use. --Foutlet (talk) 14:50, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

Diachronos – So... To become the Hero of Time, we need to go to the Temple of Time, to play the Song of Time, on the Ocarina of Time, in front of the Door of Time, so we can pull the Sword of Time, out of the Pedestal of Time... TALK – TWILIGHT PRINCESS WALKTHROUGH - MY ZELDA GAME Actually, the insignia was put in just to make the Muslims stop bitching about how the previous marking looked like their religious symbol.

AuronKaizer - "You don't have to be insane to edit here, but it certainly helps." TALK - THE LIST - PIT OF RECKONING - SANDBOX - WIDGETS - ToC - SUGGESTIONS 15:16, October 5, 2009 (UTC) Looks like you missed out on the point completely. Anyways, likely as not. Just a theory though.
