The Golden Claymore is blunt on purpose as it's a type of Helm Splitter, and boy it will hurt if they manage to get a blow on a helmet or shoulder.
A claymore's blunt side can also hammer down stones, and due to common encounters with both Talus and Frox.. it would be no surprise that these claymores are a go to choice in battle. The bladed side is more reserved for Molduga hunts.
The sword is the main choice in combat against common monsters.
Bows and Spears are meant to take out Stal Lizalfos.. as they are very common at night haunting the deserts. The bow can shoot perfectly straight and can easily take out their heads in one shot.
Shields are meant to distract monsters.. allowing for free strikes before they can get a chance to react. In addition, while in a lightning prone area, the Gerudo can discard their weapons and watch the lightning strike their enemies.
Amber gives a runic defense, making their bodies much more durable against blades.
All pretty good points!
I kinda wish seals wouldve been considered. Yes, they dont use horses, you cant even bribg horses into the desert in either game and thats perfectly reasonable. Instead we have sand seals, quick and agile in the soft sands. So curved cutting blades, with the idea of fast pace horse combat, makes quite a bit of sense on fast swimming sand seals as you dash past various enemies
fair fair, dont agree with the claymore though, just seems inefficient as both a sword or hammer, better to pick one approach
The thing to keep in mind is that these ladies are 9+ feet tall, yet show none of the strains, health issues, and weaknesses that are common for those who reach such heights. This would allow them, with proper training (which they have) to achieve monstrous levels of strength. More curious, however, is that dinky-boy Link, who is barely more than half their height, can wield weapons designed for people nearly twice his height without issue. Meaning that either Link is an absolute _beast,_ or mineral weight is _much_ different in Hyrule.
He is a royal knight in BOTW and TOTK, so he knows to use every muscle to max efficiency and divinely enchanced, not as much as ganondorf but probably could ignore strains that could cause most people to stop and tap into his adrenaline system any time
@@PJDAltamirus0425 max efficiency is baseball bat. Got it.
He is a bullet ant of a person
@@lemagicbaguette1917 How did you infer that from my sentence?
@@PJDAltamirus0425 He swing like bat. You say efficient. Therefore, baseball bat is max efficiency.
You did forget about the Iron Knuckles who are Gerudo and armored head to toe and wield those massive great axes
Are great axes Gerudo weapons
yeah i guess so, didnt think of them as gerudo but i guess they are
Maybe the intended use of the spear is to trap a blade and make the opponent drop it due to the heavier tip. Then due to physics the other side could hit the opponents head, injuring or maybe even killing them due to gravity
could be could be
11:00 They're also in the desert
Most people cover up when they’re in a desert, for a variety of reasons. The hot sun, wind and sand being some of them. It’s a little weird that they’re dressed like they live on a tropical island.
@@franimal86 The layers they put on are thin so as not to overheat themselves. The kind of armor he showed would give you a heat stroke faster
Hylian General: I gave you a copy of the Tarkin Doctrine to show you how _not_ to design your military!
I like this style of video! Reminds me of a video I saw by the Bread Pirate about Lookout Landings defence.
Erm what the sigma
yeah thats what kind of gave me the idea
It is common for metal shields to have a lighter weight core. For the spear, having more stabling points reduces the over all damage, due to dispersing the force; though the blade by itself protrudes far enough to do all the necessary damage. The side prongs may act more as a stop, as far as stabbing goes, to keep the blade from getting burred in the target, but I think the blade catching is on brand for a dex. based fighting style.
The spear it probably overdesigned for gutting wild animals. You don’t want a pissed off monster running up your spear and goring you
@@PJDAltamirus0425 Could very well be. They do have a history of fighting against weapons, more than dealing with animals.
so i didn't see the male armour getting taken into account, I'm guessing for lore reasons. but they should still have been mentioned even if you were to discredit them from the "final score" again because of lore.
also size matters, link is short compared to a warrior Gerudo and so those shields may be a buckler to them.
yeah kind of skipped it because it suffers from the same issues as the female set
The only thing I could say to some of this is environment. The Gerudo live in a tree-light environment, so getting wood to make shields, or certain armor, might not be efficient. They can obviously maintain fires, so they must have something for kindling, but it might not be equipment-rated, if you will. They also live in the desert, which might influence their kit? I'm no Middle East expert, but I imagine in a game that cooks durable Link for traipsing through the desert midday, they can't wear "real armor", as it would burn them, or just retain too much heat, and even the acclimated Gerudo can be overcome by the heat. I'm also kind of glad they DON'T get riding bonuses, since the Gerudo don't "ride". May a charioteer should get the same advantages a horseman might, but they are probably STANDING on their shield, and at least one hand needs to be on reins, so no lancing, or two-handed weapons, since they can't just grip and steer with their legs. I honestly don't even remember if Champion Link can use weapons while being pulled through the desert, by seal, or if he needs to stop, and fight on foot, losing the advantage?
I do prefer the OoT/MM spears, though for me, it's because of a self lack of skill. I've never held such a pole arm before, but I imagine it could be tricky to maintain the right alignment of the blade, as you swing the pole in three dimensions, and if you don't hit with the slicing edge, that's a waste of a swing. That's why I am glad lightsabers are round.😊 Since the older spears are more for dedicated piercing, range, and parries, I like that simplicity better.
Mostly unrelated, but this is a weapons thing, as well as a "new units Tears could have had" thing, so...I wish the Gerudo gad had people who used wands. I know that they are a Wizzrobe thing, in LoZ, but the Gerudo can have a history with magic use; the two powerful witches who taught Gdorf were Gerudo, as was he. Maybe it's just my aging nostalgia, wanting real callbacks to older games, when some Zora were "bad" (Zola), and spit projectiles, while hiding in deep water, or Moblins with castable javelin spears, and as much as I like the Amazon meets Islam motif the Gerudo cam sport, they DO live in a desert, so it might've been cool to see a few with hoods and cloaks, shielding them from the light, while clutching magic scepters. Especially with the number of aged Gerudo in the town, I guess I was hoping their witchy option had also survived into the Days of Calamity.
The weapon of the Gerudo are all just style but not much substance.
Many of the weapons that are good are decorative as the armor as fighting in high heels.
Breaking a heel, you are down.
But the fighting style make sense, but yiga have similar style, even better face coverage and better armor that cover. That explain the frequent encounters and base so close.
The only benefit of showing that much skin is fighting again the sun. Wearing heavy armor doesn’t just weigh you down in sand but heated in a desert.
I will still the gear, If I am going down it will be in style. With rock hard abs. XD
Yoga? Armor? Most of thier clothes are spandex? They might as well be the same
It seems like the emeralds on the thunder helm may be small 'windows' to look through
limits vision like crazy though
I LOVED this video!! Looking forward to see more like it!
Well i want to do more so be ready!
*Iron knuckles left the chat*
not sure if they are truly gerudo
@@drwily omg he replied
can you do this for the other races weapons? (personally I would like to see rito next)
WHAAAAAT YOUR DUTCH HOW DID I NEVER KNEW THIS
yu'roe*
@@remixtheidiot5771bro messed up more than the person bro tried to correct💀
had je maar moeten opletten ;)
I remember first learning you were dutch on a botw try out and now its funny you start with wilhelmus
had to rep the nederlandse brand hahahah
definitely should do more of these ones with the other Zelda weapons! (or maybe i missed existing ones?)
1000% will
Great video willy! The original reason i loved the legend of Zelda was because all the weapons
glad you liked it! and saaammmeee i especially liked the smith in majoras mask
I think that the prongs are meant to be a reference to the trident used by Ganon in earlier games
oh could be
I'd like to think that the gerudo have used the scimitar on the backs of sand seal, similar to the niche horses fill.
that would be super sick
Hello 👋 Dr wily, I love this vids keep it up ❤️ I'm your biggest fan
will do and love youuuu
Oh wow
Yeah your videos are the best

As someone mentioned, the gerudo women are literally 9 feet tall and very healthy. Cuz they can bear young and of course have no health issues for being that tall. And most likely they train those heavy weapons everyday so yes, their rock hard abs are not for show. Also I agree that their armor sucks, and they don’t even display their agility in the two games. Before anyone tries to defend them for not doing acrobatics, cuz when you see them fight, they can get knocked down kinda easily, Lizalfos can literally leap backward to avoid your attacks. And Link can do a back flip. So if they want to show the gerudos agility, have them jump back or do a cool flip. But despite that, again I agree that their armor sucks. But their weapons make sense for giant women with biceps that can match a Goron.
the thumbnail on this one is so good!!!!
glad you like it!
Can't you see with the helmet on? I play with Link and he never ran into a wall...without me wanting him to.
well i cant imagine it helps hahaha
The shield are designed inspiration after ottomom shields, which are designed in such a way to be lightweight and you can have it at the really while firing a bow, the sword at least the scimitar of the seven, it really good, great hand protection, would cut like a demon and gets a great bonus when combined with the silver lynel horn. The clothes for protective value is garbage but if they flipping ditched wearing high heels they would be good for swift attacks and ambushes. Design was the thunder helmet is crap. I would love to see a gerudo style version of a darknut, ottomon heavy Calvary looks very cool
ahhhh i see, makes sense i never found anything on the shields, in general steel shields were a no go except for bucklers
How do you make your avatar in videos?
i had an artist make the individual character and his expressions/stances and than we use puppet animation to make him a bit animated
I would love to hear about the oot miror shield wich by it's design is gerudo
hmmmm maybe, could be interesting
Hey Doc! How are you? Pokémon myth busting video status? If you can't do it because you don't have enough info or you abandoned it then that's fine. I'm just very excited
Erm what the sigma
@@calibre8395🗿
kind of abandoned it because i dont know enough about pokemon tbh
Wacht wat je bent Nederlands!!! Ik ben in shock!
hehehe jaaaa
I hope you go for the Lynel weapons
another i could cover yeah
The ones you claim require horses to be most effective, would this not apply to when they are seal surfing in the sands as well?
yeah it would
Great content
thanks!
Amazing vid
The normal Gerudo Shield doesnt seem to be made of Metal, it doesnt get electricuted.
hmmmm yeah that is what i kind of wondered, but the look of it made me think it had to be metal
Wouldn't full metal armor not be impractical for the gerudo since they have to deal with desert temperatures? The armor would just burn their skin, without any protective clothing or something. This seems to not be an issue in game tho. All thanks to the special botw temperature system i guess...
You’d wear something under the armor. Typically, people would wear padded clothing underneath regardless, so armor wouldn’t burn your skin. Conversely, the sun would be burning their skin in a desert environment.
Of course, with their rock hard abs exposed, maybe they’re built differently than humans and can withstand the sun.
thats why a more hybrid armor set that isnt too heavy would be perfect, because at the moment they have no protection and burn to a crisp in the sun
As far as I can tell, the Gerudo draw a lot of inspiration from Indo-Persian cultures, and their weapons reflect that. Their short swords pretty much look exactly like a Jambiya (though slightly scaled up since Jambiya were more like knives), and yea, its not a battlefield weapon, its just a self-defense knife. The all metal shields were a thing and there are multiple examples of indo-persian shields that look exactly like the gerudo ones. I dont really see anything wrong with the gerudo spear being primarily a thrusting weapon now. When it comes to weapons, its usually better to focus on doing one thing really well than doing a lot of things just kind of okay. I do agree that the golden claymore is complete fantasy.
On the topic of gerudo mounted combat, while its not in botw or totk, OoT did seem to show they were fond of it. We see ganondorf frequently on horse back and they have a horseback archery range. Its possible they ride horses or have some other mounts like the sand seals.
Also consider.
What we saw in history is that as soldiers gained more armor, shields became smaller and smaller until they were basically non-existent. Gerudo wear enough to protect their vitals, but they likely highly rely on using their shields effectively or keeping their opponents out of reach.
Yeah but in general metal shields of such a size and decorated like that were quite rare and the weight makes it less ideal. I mean you need quite think metal because metallurgy back than was not great. Also yeah i bet they did use horses but sadly enough we never really see it. Also they must use sand seals right?
Can these Gerudo people protect the Netherlands from water? 🌚🌚
No, we do that ourselves
yes with there abs
I mean the Gerardo spear claymore and the sword of the seven are a lot of damage
Oh in a literal sense

Zora or the Gorons next??!!
not sure yet, next up is a zelda theory
Good job
thanks!
Holy shit ik wist helemasl niet dat je nederlands was!!!
hehehe maar natuuuuurlijk, zo hollands als het maar kan geeeekkkk
Now do that with smash caracters
oehhhh not a bad idea
My big issue with the gerudo armor is that it doesn't protect from the sun or heat. These girls got some wicked sunscreen being out here 24/4 with barely anything on their bodies. There's a reason why desert dwelling folk wear those lightly colored wrobes. They're breathable, they protect from the sun, and UV rays are reflected by the light color of the fabric.
oh yeah bet, skin cancer must be super common there
hey botw realesed on wii u at the time
true true
Armour isn't heavy or restricting in real life
well to an extent it is
Lmao wild opening

The gerudo are super strong warrior women they don’t mind the weight
i guess hahaha
I like pie
saaaammmeeee
The abs are armor. Trust me, they deflected a katana by just standing there 😂
Edit: also, how would the Gerudo make use of the damage multiplier on horseback? YOU CAN’T BRING HORSES INTO THE DESERT 😂
yeah true but maybe on sand seals as well instead of just horses
@@drwily I would love to see a hyrule warriors depiction of that lol 😂
TIL: scimitar is pronounced simitar and not skimitar
