The town of Gerudo is certainly a scary one. It’s located in the desert and you’ll have to fight your way through the monsters, puzzles and bosses, all the while dealing with extreme temperatures. You’ll need to stock up on both heat-resistant gear and cold-resistant food and items if you want to get there easily.

One of the best things we can recommend is to head to Kara Kara Bazaar first. Here, you’ll be able to buy the Desert Voe Handband for 450 rupees which will help out with the temperatures. We have a full guide on how to get the rest of the Desert Voe Armor Set here too.
