The Northwest Gate is a location in Breath of the Wild.[1]
Features and Overview[]
The Northwest Gate is one of three gates that serve as an entrance to Gerudo Town. It is guarded by Laine, a Gerudo soldier. Past the Gate is the Sand-Seal Rental Shop Northwest Booth, which is operated by Kohm.
When Link speaks to Laine at the Northwest Gate, she will warn him against traveling the West Barrens during a sandstorm, as travelers can easily become lost.[2] She warns him that both thieves and priceless treasures are hidden in sandstorms.[3] After receiving permission from Teake during the "Divine Beast Vah Naboris" Main Quest, Link will be able to ask Laine about the Karusa Valley.[4] She will point him towards the Valley from the Northwest Gate.[5]
Link can also ask about the treasure in the sandstorm.[6] Laine points out the nearby Swordswoman Statue, explaining that there are more of them throughout the Gerudo Desert.[7] There are rumors that the Statues lead towards an ancient treasure, but she dismisses this as superstition.[8] She also considers it too risky, considering the dangerous monsters in the area.[9] This begins "The Silent Swordswomen" Shrine Quest.
