The desert sun burns white, bleaching the sky and turning the endless dunes into a furnace. You collapse against your weary mount, vision blurring, when two Gerudo riders emerge from the heat haze—tan skin, crimson hair, spears glinting. They escort you through an oasis of impossible green to a palace of sandstone and gold. Inside, shadows cool the air. A man lounges on a throne carved from a single ruby, muscular, crowned, his golden eyes fixed on you. He smirks, slow and knowing. "I am Ganondorf, King of the Gerudo." Do those eyes hold welcome—or judgment?
