'''Gerudo Highlands''' is the mountainous region in the [[Gerudo (Region)|Gerudo region]] in {{BotW}}.
  +
{{OTOC}}

==Features and Overview==
Thanks for coming to visit! Welcome to my page, weary traveller. I try and make an effort to do what I can for this site. I'm a devoted storywriter, and I long to have one of my stories published. I haven't sent any of my stories in yet, because I'm still working on them...
 
  +
Gerudo Highlands surrounds the [[Gerudo Desert]]. Its cliffs sit to the east of the Desert and its tall, snowy mountains overlook the Desert to the north. [[Link]] needs protection from the [[Temperature|cold]] to navigate the northern and southeastern Highlands unharmed. Gerudo Highlands is the location where the ancient [[Sheikah]] technology was first uncovered.<ref>{{Cite|We decided to heed the prophecy and began excavating large areas of land. It wasn't long before we discovered several ancient relics made by the hands of our distant ancestors.|King Rhoam|BotW}}</ref> Nine Stone Taluses can be found throughout the Gerudo Highlands.
   
  +
===Gerudo Tower===
I am, apart from [[User:Melchizedek|Melchizedek]], as far as I know, the only Australian on this Wiki.
 
  +
{{Main|Gerudo Tower}}
  +
The Gerudo Tower is a [[Sheikah Tower]] situated just north of the Gerudo Desert. It is the tallest Tower in [[Hyrule]], but is situated within a deep valley surrounded by cliffs. To reach the top, Link can go to the top of Birida Lookout and [[Paraglider|glide]] to the Tower, where he will be able to reach the climbing platforms attached to the upper section of it. Once the Tower is activated, Link will gain a map of the surrounding northern, snowy mountainous section of Gerudo Highlands. [[Kass]] can be found playing his accordion at the top of the Tower.
   
  +
===Wasteland Tower===
I love quotes and storywriting. I will list some of my favourite quotes around the page.
 
  +
{{Main|Wasteland Tower}}
  +
The Wasteland Tower is a [[Sheikah Tower]] that sits in a brown, swampy pool on the northernmost peak of Spectacle Rock. To begin climbing the Tower, Link must avoid sinking in the swamp surrounding it by finding a way across. He can do so by gliding from above or using [[Cryonis]]. Activating the Tower will update Link's [[Sheikah Slate]] with a map of the surrounding area, including the eastern section of Gerudo Highlands and the entirety of Gerudo Desert.
   
  +
====Spectacle Rock====
I have read many of the mangas, a few being OoT, MM, Link's Awakening, the Oracle series, the Minish Cap and the first part of ALTTP. If anyone wants a page updated with what the manga mentions about something, feel free to ask.
 
  +
{{Main|Spectacle Rock}}
  +
Spectacle Rock is the name of two large circular mesas in east portion of Gerudo Highlands. The Wasteland Tower sits on the northernmost mesa. There is also a Korok near the Tower.
   
  +
===Vatorsa Snowfield===
The chronology of the series? See Zelda Timeline section.
 
  +
{{Main|Vatorsa Snowfield}}
  +
Vatorsa Snowfield is a flat, snowy area in the northern portion of Gerudo Highlands. The Snowfield has multiple chunks of ice that Link can melt with a any form of fire, such as with a [[Campfire]] or [[Fire Arrow]]s. Ice chunks can contain enemies, [[Treasure Chest]]s or Koroks. There is also a large, downward slope that allows Link to travel north quickly by [[Shield Surfing]]. A [[Stone Talus]] can be found in the western portion of the Snowfield.
   
  +
===Mount Agaat===
Everything you see in my userboxes, I like. Unless I say differently.
 
  +
{{Main|Mount Agaat}}
  +
Mount Agaat is a snowy mountain in Gerudo Highlands. It is the most western region on the map. While scaling the cliffside of the mountain, large snowballs may fall. At the foot of Mount Agaat sits the [[Kema Kosassa Shrine]].
   
  +
===Risoka Snowfield===
==Information in a Box==
 
  +
{{Main|Risoka Snowfield}}
{{User Edit|Yuvorias}}{{Clear}}
 
  +
Risoka Snowfield is a large, flat area of snowy ground at the base of Mount Agaat. A clump of dead [[Tree]]s lies in the center of the field.

===Meadela's Mantle===
See these userboxes? They're different from ''ALL'' the userboxes on the rest of this Wiki. While some people's userboxes are violent, and others are kind, mine are ''Honourable''. Yep, you read right. Honourable.
 
  +
{{Main|Meadela's Mantle}}
  +
Meadela's Mantle is a snowy outcrop in the western portion of Gerudo Highlands. The area is grassy, with two outcroppings of Trees. The area overlooks the Gerudo Tower and the [[Sasa Kai Shrine]] can be seen from the cliffside.
   
  +
===Statue of the Eighth Heroine===
{{clear}}
 
  +
{{Main|Statue of the Eighth Heroine}}
  +
The Statue of the Eighth Heroine is found in the northwest portion of Gerudo Highlands, west of the Gerudo Summit. Link must locate and take a picture of the Statue as part of "[[The Eighth Heroine]]" [[Side Quest]] given by [[Bozai]].
   
==My Activeness==
+
===Gerudo Summit===
  +
{{Main|Gerudo Summit}}
  +
The Gerudo Summit is a mountain in the northwestern portion of Gerudo Highlands. The peak of the mountain features a snowy plain that contains a [[Lynel]].

At the foot of Laparoh Mesa lies the [[Kuh Takkar Shrine]].
   
  +
===Cliffs of Ruvara===
I visit the Wiki on a frequent basis, but I edit somewhat less than daily. Although it gives me great satisfaction to edit this Wiki to perfection...well, I do need a life :P
 
  +
{{Main|Cliffs of Ruvara}}
  +
The Cliffs of Reuvara are rocky cliffs that exist along the northern portion of Gerudo Highlands. There is evidence of settlement and multiple climbing platforms used by excavators. There is also a large, geothermal vent that Link can use to glide up the cliffs.
   
  +
===Mystathi's Shelf===
The Internet, it consumes my life so easily, and whittles my hours away until they are none. So I can get more accomplished, I am currently pursuing activities other than editing an article, then watching for the next two hours to see what happens to it!
 
  +
{{Main|Mystathi's Shelf}}
  +
Mystathi's Shelf is the northernmost mesa in Gerudo Highlands. It is a rocky, flat area covered in snow.
   
  +
===Hemaar's Descent===
==How did I come here?==
 
  +
{{Main|Hemaar's Descent}}
  +
Hemaar's Descent is a valley in the most northwest portion of Gerudo Highlands. It has very little snowfall and is the grassiest area within the Highlands. It is also a pathway that leads to the Statue of the Eighth Heroine.
   
  +
===Birida Lookout===
I first arrived here when searching for quality images of certain characters. As I looked for them, I stumbled upon this site, which (in most cases) has great images AND information to go with them. By this time, I was familiar with the concept of a Wiki (having being associated with Wikipedia, Devil May Cry Wiki, WOWWIKI and Halo Wiki (later becoming Halopedia)).
 
  +
{{Main|Birida Lookout}}
Although impressive, I quickly discovered several things I could fix up, and I thought to myself it'd be better to get credit for fixing those small things up, rather than doing it anonymously. So, I decided to register the name I use on every site I register with: Yuvorias.
 
  +
Birida Lookout is the area directly east of Gerudo Tower and is mostly made up of dilapidated settlements inhabited by monsters. This is also the settlement that is used to gain enough height in order to fly to Gerudo Tower. It overlooks the [[Great Cliffs]]. South of the Lookout is the [[Sasa Kai Shrine]].
   
  +
===Sapphia's Table===
==Yuvorias==
 
  +
{{Main|Sapphia's Table}}
  +
Sapphia's Table is a snowy mesa east of Gerudo Tower. It contains multiple levels of heights and provides a good view of Gerudo Desert.
   
  +
===Taafei Hill===
What does Yuvorias mean? Yuvorias is an antagonist in a story I wrote for Year 9 English.
 
  +
{{Main|Taafei Hill}}
  +
Taafei Hill is a small, rocky area in the northern portion of Gerudo Highlands. It contains very little life and no snow. It overlooks the Gerudo Canyon, with the Gerudo Canyon Stable just south of it. A Stone Talus can be found on south Taafei Hill.
   
==Felicia==
+
===Zirco Mesa===
  +
{{Main|Zirco Mesa}}
  +
Zirco Mesa is a mountainous area in the northern portion of Gerudo Highlands. There are icy outcroppings that lie across the top of the mesa. It overlooks the Gerudo Canyon and Koukot Plateau.
   
  +
===Nephra Hill===
[[Image:La v2.jpg|left|300px|thumb|It's that fairy!]]
 
  +
{{Main|Nephra Hill}}
See that fairy on Link's head? That's [[Felicia]]. I '''love''' Felicia. She's my favourite non-canonical Zelda thing in the world. Nothing beats Felicia. She's the kind of character that's funny, but by the time the emotion starts coming, you really start caring about her. I really want to expand her article, and it's a shame it can never qualify for "featured" status. Especially not now, since it's WAY too short. I'm planning to give Felicia a massive overhaul very soon.
 
  +
Nephra Hill is the most northeastern part of Gerudo Highlands. It is a cliffy region overlooking the Gerudo Canyon and Koukot Plateau. There are multiple circles of gray rocks that appear on top of the hill.
   
  +
===Mount Nabooru===
She is the greatest of Link's fairy partners, especially since she's not just a ball of light like [[Navi]], [[Tatl]] and [[Ciela]]. With her, the mystery of how Link carries the [[Eight Instruments of the Siren]] is solved: she turns them into light, and restores them when Link needs them.
 
  +
{{Main|Mount Nabooru}}
  +
Mount Nabooru is a cliffy region overlooking the Gerudo Canyon Pass. It contains a Luminous Stone Talus. Also found here are the [[Goron Blood Brothers]], a triad of [[Goron]]s who challenge Link to several tests of endurance as part of the "[[Test of Will]]" Shrine Quest. Completing the Quest reveals the [[Joloo Nah Shrine]]. Mount Nabooru's name references the [[Gerudo]] [[Nabooru]] from {{OoT}}.
   
  +
===Gerudo Canyon Pass===
Oh well, I had better move onto the next topic...
 
  +
{{Main|Gerudo Canyon Pass}}
  +
The Gerudo Canyon Pass is a canyon at the northeastern entrance to Gerudo from the Digdogg Suspension Bridge in [[Hyrule Field]]. It is the only entrance to the Gerudo region that does not require Link to climb a great distance, with a path on the map leading straight to Gerudo Town. The Canyon Pass contains the [[Jee Noh Shrine]] and three [[Korok]]s.
   
  +
===Stalry Plateau===

Yarna Valley is a valley in east Gerudo Highlands. There is a Guardian Stalker and a Korok above the valley.
   
  +
===East Gerudo Mesa===

  +
{{Main|East Gerudo Mesa}}
  +
The East Gerudo Mesa is a large mesa in east Gerudo Highlands. There are many Ores on top of the mesa. A [[Decayed Guardian]] sits nearby.
   
  +
===Mount Granajh===
NOBODY
 
  +
{{Main|Mount Granajh}}
  +
Mount Granajh is a snowy mountain in southeast Gerudo Highlands. Link will need protection from the cold here. A Korok can be found at the very peak of the mountain. There is a small, ruined shack on the mountain where Link can read someone's journal, titled the [[Mountain Peak Log]]. It describes someone's attempts at discovering a Shrine nearby. Reading it will give Link the "[[Secret of the Snowy Peaks]]" Shrine Quest. After completing the Shrine Quest, the [[Suma Sahma Shrine]] will reveal itself on the mountain.
   
  +
===Daval Peak===
I haven't been playing Zelda lately, so no character of the week for now! Ganondorf's had enough time here, so I took him down. When I get back into it, we'll see!
 
{{clear}}
+
{{Main|Daval Peak}}
  +
Daval Peak is a snowy mountain in southeast Gerudo Highlands. It is a smaller counterpart to Mount Granajh. On the side of Daval Peak is the pedestal that must be activated in order to complete the "Secret of the Snowy Peaks" Shrine Quest and reveal the Suma Sahma Shrine.

  +
===South Lomei Labyrinth===
I'm not just a Nintendo man. Nintendo is awesome, but to put it simply, it misses out on a lot of good games. I don't know how long I'd be around without Zelda...it's the game that keeps the Nintendo 64 coming out. Anyway, I own:
 
  +
{{Main|South Lomei Labyrinth}}
  +
The South Lomei Labyrinth is a Labyrinth in southeast Gerudo Highlands, at the foot of Daval Peak. Two [[Bokoblin]]s patrol the top of the Labyrinth walls. Upon entering, Link hears a voice, telling him that he shall receive a blessing at the end of the Labyrinth and he is given "[[The Desert Labyrinth]]" Shrine Quest. Link must climb across the walls of the maze to avoid touching the [[Malice]] along some of the Labyrinth's walls and floors. Once Link reaches the end of the Labyrinth, he will discover the [[Dila Maag Shrine]] and the Shrine Quest is completed.

My contributions to this wiki called Zelda Wiki? I'd like to say everything manga, but I'd be lying if I did. I'm intending to put up a page for each seperate manga in time, however. But, until then, I'll just list some of the stuff I've actually done.
 
  +

*Started adding strategy sections to the Oracle of Ages/Seasons creatures.
 
  +
|-
 
  +
| {{Section|Jee Noh Shrine|'''[[Jee Noh Shrine]]'''}}
Yeah, I'm too lazy to list everything I do. I get enough credit from the people to choose to look at History.

==Proudest Achievement==
 
  +
| '''[[Opal]]'''
 
  +
|-
'''Manga'''

  +
| '''[[Gerudo Highlands]]'''
 
  +
| '''[[Diamond]]'''
*Bringing everything associated with the Oracle of Ages/Seasons pages into a respectable light. They're so little owned, that most of their non-main characters either don't have articles, or have articles three sentences long. Good thing I own both.

===Favourite Zelda Moment===

| '''A Modest Test of Strength'''
No, it's not in Twilight Princess, when the group of guards runs away and leaves the fat one behind. I don't know why that's the only favourite moment listed on user sites right now.
 
  +
| '''[[Gerudo Highlands]]'''
 
  +
| '''[[Frostblade]]'''
No, my favourite would have to be in The Wind Waker, when Link and [[Tetra]]'s crew arrive at the Forsaken Fortress for the first time, when they stick Link in a barrel and launch him off their catapult.
 
  +
|-
 
  +
| {{Section|Sho Dantu Shrine|'''[[Sho Dantu Shrine]]'''}}
Second up is also from the Wind Waker, when Link's finished placing the pearls on the statues and they shake rather violently. Immediately, Link takes cover, but...nothing happens. When Link goes back to the statue, only then does it explode, throwing him face-first into the [[Tower of the Gods]].
