Entering Gerudo Town WITHOUT a Disguise! | Zelda: Breath of the Wild

[@jeremiasdonner5028]

Am I the only one seeing the misogyny in this video? A weird creep with a mask desperately trying to invade a woman’s save space and not accepting boundaries and in the end running amok with bomb arrows and even killing himself in the end. In egal life that’s called femicide. I know it’s just a game bla bla but that’s pretty close to what’s one of the biggest problems in our society. Obviously no one is harmed, it’s just a game but it clearly stands for/shows something.

[@GageTM]

I think you're seeing misogyny because you're going out of your way to look for it where it doesn't exist

[@Chubby_Bub]

The whole dialogue with Riju proves Link should be let in, she literally gives him permission. But either she doesn’t want the other Gerudo seeing a voe, she doesn’t tell the guards he's allowed, or the guards just don't care. I think it's the last one, they just hate Link.

[@jpting_]

Not to mention practically half the npcs find out your disguise and literally don’t care. It’s like no one follows the rules yet they still exist for some reason

[@Tako10008]

It's because she doesn't want to be a bad chieftain and doesn't want the other Gerudo seeing Link. She says so herself! (Wait maybe the guards think Link is trans)

[@Your_Native_Mothman]

Why would the knights hate link? I feel like we always forgot that the gerudo have a different culture compared to hylians to have a voe in their town would cause an insane upset in what they stand for when it comes to their values.

[@MonaHerSelfM]

They don't hate Link. He just happens to be a man.

[@ToonedMinecraft]

I always figured that keeping up the appearanve of the tradition matters more. Letting in a voe who went trough the trouble of disguising themselves as a vai is good enough. Either the guards enjoy it when voe disguise themselves as vai and let them past, or maybe, if they crossdress, they are effeminate enough to pass anyways. Who knows.

[@SnakeMan448]

By the time that you're done with all the sidequests in Gerudo, most of the town knows that you're male and either keep it a secret or don't care. By that point it really becomes a weak excuse to enforce the law on Link.

[@fartbutt803]

i always assumed that they did it because people would have been offended if a voe was let into town because it ruins tradition

[@nategwright]

Because it’s still tradition. Riju can’t allow him in, despite his importance, because it would fly in the face of her people and values. Sure, they allow him in the disguise, but it’s essentially a matter of principle. The chieftain can’t be known to simply allow a man to freely enter town.

[@unkindled6410]

i still think allowing the literal choosen hero of light that will and has saved their world from literal calamity incarnated into the town would be a valid exception.

[@madestmadhatter]

I originally got to gerudo village by crossing the dessert directly from the starting point, I was exhausted naked and taking heat damage, I also managed to approach the village from an angle without any entrances. I worked my way around in the shadows and found what I thought was some sort of oasis for link to recover in after making it this far, it wasn't I got caught, when I eventually made it in the right way and realized I had been a naked voe that had tried to break into the queens throne room.

[@that_one_shiny_eevee]

lmfao

[@vjm3]

Programming wise: I assume they made the town have a huge pillar of invisible wall, which triggers whenever female Link enters. However, this video also implies that there's a constant system of "checks" which looks to see if non-female Link is within the walls. If he is, then sound the alarm.

[@TheIcecypherAnimation]

The constant check is there because you can switch to voe clothes (or no clothes) while already inside town.

[@Excalibur01]

I still think it's funny how many of the gerudo actually don't care. Quite a few of them can see through Link's disguise, they just don't mind him being there. My guess is, that the law is only a thing to keep the thirsty weirdos out and Link is decent enough for them to not mind... however, outwardly, they still have to make it seem like they do mind, so none of the creepy guys get any fancy ideas.

@@cardboardking577 I don't think it's ever actually stated anywhere... In the games that have him in it, he's usually their king, and the only mention on BotW of him, was Urbosa saying something about having on obligation to help out since Ganondorf was a gerudo like her. I do remember that back in OoT, Link had to prove himself to them to be allowed in the gerudo fortress though, so it might have already been a rule before Ganondorf was ever a thing.

[@juzniewiem]

If you used a thing called critical thinking you'd see that all you need to do is set a campfire

[@TehCactusPlant]

@@mominakhan4611 The windbombing attempt he did at 0:45 failed because he was too close and the whole of Gerudo town was loaded including the area tag that triggers the event that checks if Link is wearing the appropriate items, if false it "catches link". This tag is so large it is one of the first things unloaded from memory when at a distance. It is possible to manipulate actively loaded actors and tags by looking away from Gerudo town as you Windbomb. The game begins unloading unneeded distant tags and begins loading what the camera is aimed at. This is the first method of entering without the disguise. Because the game is busy loading the newer area while link flies as stupid speeds into Gerudo town, it has to unload what it previously loaded to account for what Link is approaching, being Gerudo Town. This gives you ~20 seconds inside of Gerudo Town without the outfit. The second method is arrow smuggling an active shock arrow and doing the campfire trick seen here. The area tag is unloaded when doing the campfire trick, combined with the insane amount of particles the shock arrow produces provides a short time inside of Gerudo town as well. There is no way to permanently be inside, and without a way to completely remove the tag from ram, it will never be possible, but there are method to temporarily enter, much like the Campfire glitch used here to buy a couple seconds, and the ones listed above for ~30 seconds.

There were so many times in the game I thought for sure that I'd be able to go in at will without having to put on that ridiculous outfit.

But the final straw was getting the male Gerudo outfit, and realizing not even that lets you in (Making the outfit pretty much useless). Like, it makes no sense that at no point are you given free access to the city. It just seems unnecessary to force players to have to put on that ridiculous outfit after a certain point.

I imagine you could just use the fire unloading glitch, walk a couple steps, and light another fire to do the glitch again, and slowly but surely get around town. You could theoretically use this to get to the secret shop where'd you'd be safe (although you probably would have to have it already unlocked, because as is demonstrated In the video, the text boxes required to enter the password will immediately get Link caught up on their closure, kinda defeating the point of the whole thing.) You could theoretically do every quest and obtain the thunder helm this way (although it would be *painfully* slow given the aforementioned roadblock with text boxes, requiring the glitch to be redone everytime you needed to talk with an NPC), without ever obtaining the Gerudo Gear. The only quest I can see being a problem is the one in which you need to talk to the hydromelon-eating Gerudo atop the wall. Perhaps it is possible to climb the wall in time, but it would be tight. After all that though, 600 rupees doesn't seem that bad :P
