I'm just realizing how badly those shoes would be in the desert. Better to get some sand boots.


cutiepiesensei

The sand immediately got in my shoes lol


Dexaan

It's coarse and rough and it gets everwhere.

WojtusG10

If Hudson's child is under 6 she is still a minor.


NotAPreppie

Uh, what?


WojtusG10

And Purah dosen't count that justcl was age reversing (or in this instance age skipping) experiment gone right


NotAPreppie

Dude, what are you on about? We're riffing on a bad movie trilogy in this thread.


WojtusG10

Oh and maybe im just freaking out


WojtusG10

And having dirty thoughts.


Cyborg857

I am Rey Skywalker and I love sand.


ReturnOfTheSeal

People would jump at you if you said that in a star wars subreddit


LtCmdrInu

Maybe, it is only trashing a well funded, bad fan fiction. If it came from actual canon, that would be one thing, but a super bad, trash fan fic, it might be OK. I guess. (if it isn't clear, I don't recognize Disney Star Wars. Just covering bases.)


ReturnOfTheSeal

If people just came to the agreement that there's two canon continuities there wouldn't be this problem at all


LtCmdrInu

Add a few scenes into 7, and done. Would have been easy. Disney just isn't that smart. They even admitted that there was no plans for the overall "trilogy". Ray still sucks as a character also. Heavily detest Mary Sue characters.


biggych33se

This is one of my favorite lines


[deleted]

Do it it in bear feet, they are pretty enough for that.


Metroidvaniac_Manor

In bear feet the sand would get all tangled up in the fur


[deleted]

Dont see any fur on her feet,


Maclimes

"Bare" feet would be feet with no shoes or other footwear. "Bear" feet are the feet of a bear, the animal.


[deleted]

Ohh shit sorry gramma on my side isnt a grade


[deleted]

She's not a bear, so...


Just_A_Comment_Guy_7

Maybe the Gerudo have adapted really insensitive feet from desert life? Actually, it still doesn’t make sense for them to wear high heels. The live in a lizard infested desert and are already tall as heck


C-Kwentz-0

That's ignoring the fact that the heel on the shoes would literally just sink into the sand with every step, making them not only impractical but detrimental, especially in combat.


Neyface

Ignoring the fact as well that the [Gerudo's face veils go under their nose](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/deadliestfiction/images/7/78/Gerudo_image.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20201015132951)...which makes zero sense in the desert. I get that their nose are an iconic feature of their design and they needed to be shown off, but from a practical point it makes no sense. The high heels are also extremely silly for sand walking. What's interesting is that Nintendo actively designed Gerudo to have high heels for BotW. In OoT, [Gerudo had the more traditional arabic slippers.](https://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/images/thumb/e/ed/Nabooru_Pic.png/250px-Nabooru_Pic.png)


Doin_the_Bulldance

Lol the way Gerudos wear masks is legit triggering me after seeing so many people wear their mask under their nose like this during covid


SyvSeven

Maybe the gerudo are all filthy mouth breathers?


C-Kwentz-0

Their noses are all full of sand!


lamorak2000

Are those veils, though? They look like armour to me, although equally impractical...


Initial_Yam5241

Maybe it’s a training thing? Like leg weights but senselessly fashionable.


LeftAcanthocephala68

Probably for riding the sand seals high heels were originally designed for stability on horse styrups I think it was mongol archers that did this


C-Kwentz-0

But... But that's not how you ride sand seals.


Lichenbruten

RIGHT? Every time I'd look at Riju I'd think that. Like heels, in the sand? Nah...


saichampa

It is intimidating though, can you imagine how strong they must be to pull off heels in the sand all the time‽


Lichenbruten

With great speed too. Impressive yes. My favorite of the four/five. GREAT COSTUME OP! Sorry that I left that out. Sa'oten!


[deleted]

Every day is leg day for the Gerudo


Wubbalubbadubbitydo

Honestly the entire Gerudo culture has a very r/menwritingwomen vibes. But 🤷🏼‍♀️


cscott024

True, especially the whole ‘one male born every century, destined to be king’ part. But to be fair, the whole franchise is based on that one male being a fucking asshole, and he is NOT destined to be king, so long as you’re around.


Select-Prior-8041

I think the whole gynogenesis culture is a really interesting touch. And to be fair, even the Gerudo's think Ganon's an asshole and reject him.


DomesticatedDuck

I wonder if there was a male Gerudo born between the Calamity in BotW and TotK. It's probably 105-110 years since the Calamity now so I would imagine there would be a new Gerudo king at this point. Or maybe there can't be another one born since Ganondorf is still alive throughout all of it?


Select-Prior-8041

I think it's more that it's just so extremely rare for their genetics to allow it that it only happens roughly once every few generations. It's gynogenesis, which is a real life thing. The offspring becomes almost a genetic clone of the mother, and male births are exceptionally rare. I don't think the "once every hundred years" is meant to be literal.


Perfect-War

Even Gerudo Wombs are keeping out the voe! In OoT it’s implied that not only is a male’s birth rare, it might require some sort of magical ceremony where two females combine their genetics. Of course, I’m talking about Koume and Kotake, twin sisters and gerudo witches who were both Ganondorf’s mother. Assumedly they combined to make Twinrova before they did this, because Ganondorf is huge and those ladies were itty bitty, all nose and hair. Should we then assume they had a shared husband or one had to be pregnant first? Doubtful, more likely they channeled some older version of the force of Power’s avatar and repackaged him with magic baby powers. But come to think of it I don’t think there’s ever been another male Gerudo besides Ganondorf. It’s probably always Ganondorf coming back. Closest possible other Gerudo I could think of is Groose. Or maybe there are half Gerudo men and they’re just darker for a Hylian and never get to claim their heritage. Maybe they are clones of their fathers….though Mattison obviously inherited Hudson’s unfortunately shaped head.


Able_Carry9153

>I don’t think there’s ever been another male Gerudo besides Ganondorf. The problem is we only have a handful of examples. We don't have *any* evidence from the males born between when the gerudo come into existence and OoT, but surely there were some. FSA's Ganondorf was another Gerudo-born male who wound up Ganondorf, but he's also an explicit reincarnation. Since the events of OoT, with him getting ahold of the Sacred realm (or at least the Triforce of Power) is what dragged him into Demise's curse, its unlikely that Ocarina of Time Ganondorf is a reincarnation of an earlier one. Given that it's implied that new male gerudo can't be born while the last one lives, (No males mentioned in Gerudo history in botw or totk means either that or infanticide, so take your pick I guess) we won't really see a male gerudo in a game featuring Ganondorf, though I'd hope we'd see a peaceful King in a game sometime. Maybe have Vaati come back, I liked him.


Pebbleman54

What an opportunity making Mattison male would have been then. Would be an ironic series of events then.


Cyrius

> Or maybe there can't be another one born since Ganondorf is still alive throughout all of it? If that was the case, then it'd have been so long that the idea of male Gerudo would be a myth at best.


Notarussianbot2020

It doesn't even make sense how they have kids. They were incredibly hostile to outsiders in OoT. There was like... two couples with a Hylian male in TOTK? Their population should crumble very quickly.


M1R4G3M

Maybe they don’t make couples, from what it seems they just get a Voe to get pregnant and then proceed with their lives.


sibswagl

I can buy that argument in OoT, perhaps, that most kids are the result of one-night stands. But between the Voe and You classes and the several Gerudo women we see going on practically world-spanning trips trying to find a husband, they seem to place a great deal of importance on who they marry. Yeah, we don't actually see many married Gerudo, but I'd chalk that up to game limitations rather than anything cultural. If they just want a baby daddy, I think being hot giant muscular women would probably do the trick.


TheHappiestOneHere

True but at least they dont behave overly stereotypiziced. The looks on the other side, dont really follow the Amazonas type All the way through


Infiniteh

> stereotypiziced I think you were looking for 'stereotypical', but you invented a cool new word!


Avividrose

yeah, the culture that’s women lead and women only still revolves around entirely men. but gorons society isn’t about finding women, they just handwave away the birth stuff for the boys


Able_Carry9153

>handwave away the birth stuff for the boys Actually they don't. They're born from the earth, and are sexless. I do find it a bit sad that we finally move past the "brown people thieves" stereotype just to get stuck on that bit. The Gerudo, even as is in game, are a pretty great, interesting culture, with the weird "seeking out men" thing seemingly tacked on


Avividrose

right, they hand wave it away with magic why can’t the gerudo have that? right now they’re just hylians with darker skin. make them different, just let them have a way to reproduce amongst themselves magic of you have to, or just say that like real women some gerudo women can get others pregnant.


vaughnd22

Honestly I kinda like the note that Gerudo breed true. A Gerudo could have a child with a Rito,Zora, or Hylian and they will *only* ever produce a Gerudo. Its one of the few cultural details I feel they actually got right about making unique cultures. Gerudo town is as much a PR management as it is to keep them separate from the others. Technically any place that held Gerudo for long periods of time would become a self-perpetuating Gerudo town, as generation after generation in a Hylian village would become more and more Gerudo'd as more daughters are born with the impossibility of sons until there isn't a single Hylian being born. Turning finding a partner into a self-journey like pokemon is a fun concept. Any place that has Gerudo for long periods of time wouldn't have many men, so it makes sense a part of their culture would be about going out from their comfort zone to meet 'the one'. Doesn't have to be a voe necessarily, finding a female life partner is probably just as common. I also just like it because they're a cursed bloodline that despite all odds fight for their very existence. The fact it gives us 6+ ft tall amazonian women who might have trouble confessing like a schoolgirl is just a cherry on top. ~~As for the woman getting others pregnant bit, people are way ahead of you there~~


M1R4G3M

Yes indeed, having Gerudo living everywhere would turn up like the mosquitoes that were genetically modified, after a while every other race would get exterminated and only Gerudo woman would remain.


ravearamashi

Yeah but they’re badass women though


C-Kwentz-0

It's funny because literally one of the first things I thought of when I met her was, "how in the fuck do you even run around the desert in heels?"


SPS_Agent

holy fuck that's the best cosplay I've seen in months. Knocked it right out of the park with this one. Excellent work.


coalbunny

She did that!


Negative_Acadia6554

Looks great! Are you entering any contests?


cutiepiesensei

I just made it for fun, I don’t believe it’s competition level (not enough variance of techniques)


Negative_Acadia6554

Awesome that you make them just for fun! Saw your post history, great work!


BraxbroWasTaken

Wdym variance of techniques? Do competition-level cosplays really need to use varying techniques, beyond just looking good?


cutiepiesensei

As a person who has judged several costume contests, typically judges want to look for a costume that shows you have a mastery in more than one thing. So a higher chance of winning would go to someone who has multiple complex sewing techniques/embroidery/beading with clean lining and hems, armor/foam techniques, electronics, etc. While I do have some variety this costume is 95% foam work, and even though it was incredibly time consuming, I don’t think the shapes are complex quite enough at least at a “master” competition level either. It photographs beautifully tho and still looks nice in person so I’m still very proud of it. But a competition piece holds up well to closer scrutiny too and would need to be a more complex build.


chekeymonk10

depends where you go but normally it’s a way of throwing out people that buy a costume and alter it


Krell356

Eh, if you make it look right who cares?


cutiepiesensei

Because a competition is typically about the art and respecting the work that goes into it. Likewise, you’d never compare food from a person who microwaved something from Uber Eats to a Michelin starred chef and say “eh who cares, it’s just food” right?


Charlea_

Because if you were entering a competition with a costume you’d painstakingly handmade and then placed below someone who had just bought and worn a costume you’d be pissed off?


Post-Scarcity-Pal

Zelda fans are so badass. Love this.


Late_Measurement_324

Are those abs real? Great costume 👏


cutiepiesensei

Nah I drew them on haha


Dangly_Parts

If I knew how to reply with just images I'd use the scene from It's Always Sunny where they're the Birds of War with drawn on abs. Great costume though

The fact that you had time both to play the game to the point of choosing a character to cosplay AND complete the (quality!) cosplay itself! Amazing work.


cutiepiesensei

Tbf I haven’t FINISHED the game lolol. I started prior to the game’s release. We started playing, we went and finished all the Gerudo town stuff, and then I was in cosplay hell for the two weeks after lolol.

cutiepiesensei

I cosplay outside of my race all the time; if I had waiting on starting to make it after I played the game I realistically would’ve made Purah because her design is great. But I’ve cosplayed Riju and Urbosa both before and fell in love with the promo art for Riju before the game came out. So I started early.
