'''Gerudo Highlands''' is the mountainous region in the [[Gerudo (Region)|Gerudo region]] in {{BotW}}.
The '''Magic Armor''' is a special barrier in the form of magic or a tunic that negates any damage [[Link]] receives from enemies during battle.
 
  +
{{OTOC}}
   
  +
==Features and Overview==
==Appearances==
 
  +
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.
===''The Wind Waker''===
 
:''See also: [[Island Trading Sequence]]''
 
In {{TWW}}, the Magic Armor appears as jewel or crystal, which resembles [[Spells of Ocarina of Time|the three spells]] from {{OoT}}. It is an optional item in the game that can be obtained after completing the [[Island Trading Sequence]].
 
   
  +
===Gerudo Tower===
When activated, a magical barrier will cover Link protecting him from any damage, similar to [[Spells of Ocarina of Time#Nayru's Love|Nayru's Love]]. The Magic Armor slowly drains Link's [[Magic Meter]] while active. In {{TWWHD}}, it consumes [[Rupee]]s when Link is hit. The Magic Armor will stop working once Link's Magic Meter is depleted or he runs out of Rupees. Link can activate the shield while sailing for protection from attacks during sea battles.<ref>{{cite|You got the Magic Armor! Use your magic power to create a barrier around you that protects you from enemy attacks! Set it to and use it with [Y], [Z], or [X]!|N/A|TWW}}</ref>
 
  +
{{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===
[[File:Magicarmour.png|100px|right]]
 
  +
{{Main|Wasteland Tower}}
===''Twilight Princess''===
 
  +
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.
The Magic Armor in {{TP}} serves the same purpose as in ''The Wind Waker'', but with the lack of a [[Magic Meter]], the Magic Armor drains Rupees for evey second it is equipped, or 12 Rupees when attacked. Once Link runs out of Rupees, the armor loses its color and becomes very heavy, causing Link to move as if equipped with the [[Iron Boots]], having the same effect of sinking in water.<ref>{{cite|You got the magic armor! You bought it! You are smart! You bought it at Malo Mart! Wear it and your Rupees will become magical. The armor will protect you, so if you get hit, you lose Rupees, not health. If you run out of Rupees, the armor will go dormant and your movement will become impaired.|N/A|Twilight Princess}}</ref>
 
   
  +
====Spectacle Rock====
If Link has the Magic Armor equipped and no Rupees, he will be unable to ride [[Epona]]. If Link runs out of Rupees while riding Epona, he will be sent flying off her.
 
  +
{{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.
   
====Obtaining the Magic Armor====
+
===Vatorsa Snowfield===
  +
{{Main|Vatorsa Snowfield}}
{{Improve|19 April 2014}}
 
  +
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.
The quest for the Magic Armor can be started after completing the [[Lakebed Temple]]. Upon visiting [[Kakariko Village]], Link can find [[Gor Ebizo]] in [[Malo Mart]] who wishes to reunite funds to repair a bridge that gave access to [[Hyrule Castle Town]] from western [[Hyrule Field]], which is important to resume the import of [[Hot Spring Water]] to said town. Gor Ebizo (with the help of [[Malo]] himself) wants to put to an end the difficult economic situation in Castle Town by purchasing the most luxurious and expensive shop to replace it with one having reasonably-priced products. He needs a total donation of 1,000 Rupees, which Link can provide through various partial donations ([[Wallet|unless he can donate that amount at once]]). After the donation, Link must talk to [[Gor Liggs]], who is outside Malo Mart, who will request that the young hero go to western Hyrule Field to see the progression of the bridge's repair.
 
   
  +
===Mount Agaat===
Although a Goron manages to repair the bridge, he becomes critically fatigued, and therefore cannot bring [[Hot Spring Water]] to the town. If Link speaks to him, he will need to return to [[Kakariko Village]], where Gor Liggs will give him a [[barrel]] of Hot Spring Water to revitalize the fatigued Goron. Link must then crosses the western field with the barrel, but numerous enemies, including [[Leever]]s and [[Bulblin]]s, will be there to hinder his progression; and if something happens to the barrel, the young hero will have to return to Kakariko Village for another. Once he reaches the bridge, he can throw the barrel onto the Goron, who will quickly regain his strength and energetically begin importing the Hot Spring Water to Castle Town, leaving a [[Heart Container|Heart Piece]] in the process.
 
  +
{{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===
Afterward, Link must go back to Malo Mart in Kakariko Village to find that another monetary collection has been initiated; this time to buy out [[Chudley’s Fine Goods and Fancy Trinkets Emporium]]. Fortunately, a mere 200 Rupees are required (this is because, thanks to the export of Hot Spring Water, both Malo and Gor Ebizo received a grand donation and they are reserving it toward the shop purchase. Had Link ignored aiding Gor Liggs's son, the money he would have needed would have been '''''2,000 Rupees'''''). If Link completes the donation, the final objective will be complete. The young hero can now go to Castle Town to find a branch of Malo Mart where the Emporium used to be. Inside, he can find various goods at reasonable prices, including the Magic Armor for 598 Rupees.
 
  +
{{Main|Risoka Snowfield}}
  +

===Rutimala Hill===
  +
{{Main|Rutimala Hill}}
*In ''The Wind Waker'', when Link is wearing the [[Hero's New Clothes]] during the [[Second Quest#The Wind Waker|Second Quest]], the Magic Armor, when equipped, will still show the outline of Link's hat even though he is not wearing it.<ref>{{cite|Here you are, Link. Try these on! These are special clothes...made of a special fabric that only the honest can see!|[[Grandmother|Link's Grandmother]]|TWW}}</ref>
 
  +
Rutimala Hill is a snowy alcove that sits in the western portion of Gerudo Highlands. It overlooks [[Karusa Valley]].
*The Magic Armor in ''The Wind Waker'' resembles the three [[Spells of Ocarina of Time|spells]] received from the [[Great Fairy#Ocarina of Time|Great Fairies]] in ''Ocarina of Time'', as all four objects have the same basic appearance, a sphere inside a transparent diamond. In terms of function, the Magic Armor behaves nearly identically to [[Spells of Ocarina of Time#Nayru's Love|Nayru's Love]].

Revision as of 03:19, 19 April 2017

Template:Place Gerudo Highlands is the mountainous region in the Gerudo region in Breath of the Wild.

Features and Overview

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 cold to navigate the northern and southeastern Highlands unharmed. Gerudo Highlands is the location where the ancient Sheikah technology was first uncovered.[1] Nine Stone Taluses can be found throughout the Gerudo Highlands.

Gerudo Tower

Main article: 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 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

Main article: 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

Main article: 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.
