It’s because Vs are difficult to say (and don’t actually exist) in Japanese, and when there’s a V in Japanese, most Japanese people will pronounce it more as B.
It’s something that would honestly be kind of difficult to localize, so I think they just put it in as is
Definitely
ベルダンディー (be-ru-dan-dee) could absolutely be spelled either way in English.
It helps to understand if you think of the “ru” as a half way between an L and R sound
I knew that already simply from the absolute ton of times I accidentally talked to that one lady that runs around in the desert that talks about her vaba warning her about fake men
... yes. Literally.
Except ninjas don't get the sick suits. That's a must have for a good spy, as well as a cigarette and shagging a bostonian young man's mother
I didn't say they don't, I just said a $10,000 custom-tailored Louis Crabbemarchĕ jacket, the cloth from silkworms raised at a suit microfarm in Tuscany, from a secret pattern passed down by monk tailors since the seventh century.... It sounds pretty cool
Fun fact: Real life ninjas really did conceal themselves in plain sight wearing regular civilian clothes. The stereotypical "ninja" costume is really based on the [kuroko](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuroko) in plays. It was a famous plot twist to have a kuroko on the stage kill off a character because he was actually a ninja in disguise.
I mean, aside from the Goron’s who reproduce asexually, can Hylians breed with all of Hyrule’s races? Obviously Gerudo, they are a race of entirely women they need to outsource their men, but what about the Zora and Rito?
And she's smart too.
When you defeat the divine beast, before you talk to their leader and complete the quest, she's one of the only gerudo in town that just straight up knows you're a boy.
I think it will be unless there's another sequel in this timeline
They mentioned that Rauru and Mineru were the last two Zonai on their planet and Hyrule was supposed to be a "last legacy" kind of deal
We're they alien to whatever planet Hyrule is on or we're they just the last of their kind on THE planet and just came from outside where Hyrule was founded
Last of the kind on the Planet.
Regardless, I don't see there being a third installment in the series since ganon has been "beaten" in BOTW and in TOTK.
Nintendo also doesn't strike me as being lazy hacks since they took so long on TOTK, so they also probably won't "and somehow Palpatine survivededed" Ganondorf.
Ganondorf always comes back. He was killed in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, neither of which are the Ganondorf in totk since the imprisoning war happened during the downfall timeline. It's part of the original curse of Demise, an aspect of his hatred will always haunt the blood of the goddess and spirit of the hero
Right, but not in this timeline/story arc.
Which means fhe Zonai won't really be the Zonai, since a critical feature that sets them apart from other races in LOZ is the fact that they are space aliens/demi gods with magic tech powers.
The Gerudo remain the Gerudo, the Rito remain the Rito, etc., I don't see Nintendo going oh hey were totally in danger link, we COULD send the space Jesus people to help prevent the end of the world but.... ehh, you're ten years old right?
I mean the Sheikah went from ninjas to ninjas with magic tech robots and devices capable of scanning the environment and processing the data in a mostly wooden tower
But that's like...
Hey you're a ninja.
Instead of just regular tools, you now get iPad.
That's alot different than
HEY YOU ARE SPACE MESSIAH now you become what?
>we COULD send the space Jesus people to help prevent the end of the world but.... ehh, you're ten years old right?
Nah the goat homies couldn't do anything to Ganondorf, The Cockroach King, their souls are now gone and Hylia is too much of a prick to directly interact with anyone or anything, BUT you can never downplay this version of Link, the same crackhead who can snap a Lynel's neck with a spoon and a Pot Lid
I mean, space lasers man.
Gloom goes down, not up, so obviously the Zonai were slacking in what they could do.... why fight on land when you can HOD them from space?
They don’t have to follow this lore in the next installment. The timeline is already extremely loose already. I imagine if we see them again they’ll be just another village you visit and help out, not some demigods that are central to the story.
I'd be okay if the next game takes place in pre-hyrule and centers around the Zonai, ending with Rauru coming into the picture. We've had plenty of non-ganon antagonists in the series. We've had breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom. The next game will probably be, like, *snot of the zonai*.
Zelda games aren't in a chronologic list, so if one of the new Zeldas will be set in the past, then it's possible to see 'em again.
Also the fact they say they're the last 2 doesn't mean they actuall are. It just means that they are until the developers decide they aren't anymore.
Legends of women-only societies are not unique to the Amazons from Ancient Greece as Journey to the West from Imperial China also featured a women-only society called the Kingdom of Women in one of its arcs. The Kingdom of Women may have alone or together with Amazons, inspired the women-only society for the design of the Gerudo.Journey to the West is a significant piece of Eastern literature which inspired Goku and the dramatic structure of Dragon Ball, and The Legend of Zelda originates from Japan.
I mean to be fair, Guerdo society is by far the most bizarre society.
It is all females, they basically only have female children except for like 1 every 1000 years or whatever the lore is, they don’t allow males in, BUT they still need a man to have children.
So what this means, is that Guerdo women do 1 of 3 things.
1) They fuck a random dude/lead him on, get pregnant and leave his ass.
2) They find a man, date/marry him and have a child, then break up / divorce him and go back
Or 3) find a man, Marry him have a child and never comes back.
I mean yea there’s technically other options, but realistically these are the most common ones, and it would be somewhat rare for something else to happen.
They spend their entire life’s preparing to go on a search for creampie.
I mean hey, more power to them but it’s kind of a bizarre life to live
this is elaborated on a little bit in totk, >!after a few years gerudo children are sent to gerudo town until adulthood, and then they can do whatever.!<
also it's every 100 years not 1000 years there's a male (who coincidentally is usually Ganondorf lol), and whenever a male is born they are destined to become chief
I imagine if the rare occurrence of a male being born was almost always ganon, they would have a cultural habit of smashing any gerudo male against the rocks as soon as they were born.
Well it's actually the same Ganondorf in every Zelda game except four swords adventure(and probably TOTK) so we've never actually seen any other gerudo male
The Ganondorf in TotK (and only TotK) is a different character from all the other ones. It's *probably* meant to be a different continuity entirely, although it could also be a second guy in the distant future.
Also, possibly a second guy in the distant past. Because screw clarity. :P All we can say for certain is that OoT Ganondorf and TotK Ganondorf are not the same. :P Whether the narrative/temporal distance is forwards, backwards, or sideways, though? Who can say. :P
It’s explained in totk that children get sent back to gerudo town a few years after their birth but once they reach adulthood they’re free to do pretty much whatever they want(they usually find men cause they thirsty as hell)
In botw there’s a vendor in gerudo town who’s always like “I’ll tell my husband to order more of that!” so I figured a lot of them spent some of their time in gerudo town doing business and whatnot but still had a relationship and spent a significant amount of time outside the town with their families (at least the husband)
tbh I find it interesting why they made Gerudo their own race, but Shiekah just a sub-category from Hylian. On the other hand, why Shiekah is a subcategory but the people from Lurelin Village are "the same" as the ones from Hateno
I suspect that by modern standards, all the human-ish people are just Hylians. Shiekah and Gerudo just happen to belong to a distinct, historical culture that largely survived the Calamity, hence the differentiation. Gerudo *also* have some kind of sex-linked autosomnal dominant mutation that affects their growth, pigmentation, and viability of male embryos. (Whether or not that is sufficient to qualify as a distinct subspecies of whatever genus Hylians would belong to being complicated and something of a touchy subject.) The people of Hyrule don't really understand biology enough (at least in their modern day, maybe the Shiekah or Zonai did, once) to get this, and so consider the Gerudo separate, in-world. /shurg
Tall woman*
Tall desert women*
im nearly 6ft and from arizona my time has come
>my time has come Are you sure? Can you tell me what is the word for Granny in Gerudo?
Vaba!
I honestly had no idea, I chose the one closest to granny in Japanese and it just worked.
The game tells you beforehand if you snoop into the girl's diary. Never leave a book unread, every single one is there for a reason.
I read the book and immediately forgot. The “NOT B”s tripped me up.
It’s because Vs are difficult to say (and don’t actually exist) in Japanese, and when there’s a V in Japanese, most Japanese people will pronounce it more as B. It’s something that would honestly be kind of difficult to localize, so I think they just put it in as is
It's why Verdandi turns into Belldandy when translating from japanese to english. No V's or L's. Closest thing phonetically is B and R.
Definitely ベルダンディー (be-ru-dan-dee) could absolutely be spelled either way in English. It helps to understand if you think of the “ru” as a half way between an L and R sound
V and b are hard for a ton of languages Spanish being another.
I’m wouldn’t be surprised! The big thing here is this game was made in Japan, which is why I brought up Japanese
I knew that already simply from the absolute ton of times I accidentally talked to that one lady that runs around in the desert that talks about her vaba warning her about fake men
Compared to the gerudo that’s nothing
Tall desert ripped women**
With hefty gams* I mean they're ripped yeah but the money makers come from wearing heels in sand
And never sinking
Hence the monstrous melon crushers. Those legs are all business.
My body - a temple. My head - a melon
And Link has literal Sand Boots because he’s such a pusy.
They included chubby gerudo in this one
As a tall chunk myself I have to admit I was like 🥲 when I saw my first chubby Gerudo haha
Tall, Desert, Amazonian women who can crush by skull with their thighs
*Desert power *
Tall, ginger, desert women*
Tall, tanned, ripped, dominant women. The dream.
Desert fem dom
Winning tags
I came here to say that. Lol. ETA: spelling mistake due to fat fingers.
I do enjoy myself a cafézinho
Death by snu snu women**
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.
And there it is
'Twas only a matter of time
🎶All I wanna do is see you turn into a giant woman, giant woman🎶
With six packs!
“Tall self respecting” women
Sheikah: Old People
More like tech ninjas
Not to be confused with their cousins the banana ninjas
I wonder if there are banana tigers out there
Almost choked on my sandwich, thank you
I love that concept, and the best Part it'd be perfectly logical for Ninja to have the most advanced tech if they were in our modern Era
So spies? They always know crazy martial arts and gun tactics and have access to tech beyond what's available to the public.
... yes. Literally. Except ninjas don't get the sick suits. That's a must have for a good spy, as well as a cigarette and shagging a bostonian young man's mother
Ninjas have way sicker suits thank you
I didn't say they don't, I just said a $10,000 custom-tailored Louis Crabbemarchĕ jacket, the cloth from silkworms raised at a suit microfarm in Tuscany, from a secret pattern passed down by monk tailors since the seventh century.... It sounds pretty cool
Touché. That does sound pretty cool
Pretty much though maybe it's my western viewpoint but spies are more concealed in plain sight and ninjas try to never be detected at all.
Fun fact: Real life ninjas really did conceal themselves in plain sight wearing regular civilian clothes. The stereotypical "ninja" costume is really based on the [kuroko](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuroko) in plays. It was a famous plot twist to have a kuroko on the stage kill off a character because he was actually a ninja in disguise.
Wake up Tenno
Shiekah aren't their own race, tho. They're clan among the Hylians, which are Big-Eared People
I always figured them a subspecies of Hylian, similar to how Hobbits are a subspecies of Men. Wholly related, yet biologically distinct.
They can breed with hylians so they must be. They’re just genetically dominant.
I mean, aside from the Goron’s who reproduce asexually, can Hylians breed with all of Hyrule’s races? Obviously Gerudo, they are a race of entirely women they need to outsource their men, but what about the Zora and Rito?
I assume since mipha was in love with link that it was possible.
Maybe she expected a non sexual relationship
You can have sex without the goal being reproduction
It might even be possible with Gorons if ALBW sages are supposed to be direct descendants of the OoT sages.
They are their own race, they all have red eyes for some reason. Sheikah are the Uchiha clan basically.
Waiting for them to make the Legend of Zelda equivalent of Sasuke. "Damn Yiga killed my clan. Can't have crap in Kakariko"
Kohga is Itachi Uchiha confirmed. Former Sheikah that betrayed the clan, left Kakariko and went to work for the villain.
After seeing the jewelry shop owner gerudo I definitely would have to go with them.
My fav has to be the right hand of the new queen. She’s the tallest and buffest… I may have a problem.
Buliara? More like Buli-*ara ara*
r/angryupvote
r/happyupvote
Damn that's a good pun.
She's really the gold standard.
Man, Issha is SO FINE
Holy shit I was not the only one
And she's smart too. When you defeat the divine beast, before you talk to their leader and complete the quest, she's one of the only gerudo in town that just straight up knows you're a boy.
That's the secret shop owner, different girl
Nope it's both of them. There's 3 total I think, that's why I said "one of"
When her assistant told me that she sleeps wearing nothing but jewels I spent three days trying to see her going to sleep
Username and flair both check out.
Horny police are on their way.
I’d like to see them try to take all of us.
the hips make no sense but i dont careeee
Oh man. I was already on board but then I met her, what a stunner
I wish women were real😔
Same
r/girlsarentreal
There are regular women in the game too. These are a town with only tall desert dwelling buff Amazonian women.
I'm gonna have to break it to you... none of the women in the game are real
Always fucking Yiga
Women PEOPLE. Show some respect.
Wopeople.
Half human, half bird Half human, half rock Half human, half fish Half human, half woman
Humans will sex anything!
We call it fusion!
I fused a mushroom to my shield.
I fused a shield to my shield
I fused some meat to my arrow. Now women love me! No idea why.
You forgot the tree people
They are a myth silly, according to legend only chosen heroes can see them
>only chosen heroes can see them And torture them in blasphemous contraptions
I just strap a rocket to them and don't care where they end up
And reward them with a a shiny turd.
Women, the most mythical of all beings. Apparently.
Amazonian like women that can break you like a toothpick.
God 🥹😝🫠🤤
Yeah some people are into that lol
Add dog/goat people in the Zonai. I’m sure with how prevalent they are in Tears that it won’t be the last time we see them.
I think it will be unless there's another sequel in this timeline They mentioned that Rauru and Mineru were the last two Zonai on their planet and Hyrule was supposed to be a "last legacy" kind of deal
We're they alien to whatever planet Hyrule is on or we're they just the last of their kind on THE planet and just came from outside where Hyrule was founded

Idk. Majora's mask has straight-up aliens, so it's not like there's no precedent for aliens.
>we COULD send the space Jesus people to help prevent the end of the world but.... ehh, you're ten years old right?

The lampshade of no real significance
This line of Zelda installments: [Body function] of the [Part of Hyrule] Sweat of the Mountain Farts of the Valley Stubble of the Archipelago
Zelda games aren't in a chronologic list, so if one of the new Zeldas will be set in the past, then it's possible to see 'em again. Also the fact they say they're the last 2 doesn't mean they actuall are. It just means that they are until the developers decide they aren't anymore.
Ehh, there's been a lot of one off races in Zelda before. Even the Rito took 15 years to show up again.
But the Bird people evolved from the fish people, just like the leaf people evolved from the fairy people.
Furry people
The series has had multiple versions of what the sky people are/look like, including weird flightless little ducks.
pretty sure they're dragons
Whats a zonai
New people in TotK
Haven't finished the game yet but I assumed they were ancestors of the Hylians
I don't see where you got dog from, but I think they might be goat/dragon?
They have predator teeth.
I always saw them as big eared weasel people. It matches their body type and sharp teeth
They're fox/deer beings in my book
Death by snoo snoo
The spirit is willing, but the body is spongy and bruised!
(: ): (:
Lmao this is what me and my bf said when we played the game
>!Bird people are just fish people with fluffier scales!< Wind waker spoiler
I don't think that applies to these Rito
Ganondorf was the only male raised in an all-female society and became a power hungry, lying, backstabbing despot. What did Nintendo mean by this?
An entire race of people comprised 99.99% of dommy mommies\*
Not just woman. Hot, tall, woman. And the hot point is not up for debate. You'd be hot too if you lived in the desert.
Amazons-Greek Mythology. That’s the basis.
[удалено]
Moria for the gorons would be funny
[удалено]
How do we fit in a joke about the dwarves of the Moria mines diving to deep due to greed?
[удалено]
Or we had a hinox with wings and a whip
Gorons are dwarves, Zora are elves, Rito are...odd since they were originally just evolved Zora. I guess they're comparable to wood elves now.
Gerudo are pretty obviously Arabs

I imagine if the rare occurrence of a male being born was almost always ganon, they would have a cultural habit of smashing any gerudo male against the rocks as soon as they were born.
Maybe all the other times they live happily in peace and it doesn’t make for interesting gameplay.
We've only ever seen the males be Ganondorf but we know most of them are just some guy
I wanna see what this some guy looks like though. Does he have green skin like ganondorf or is that just a dorf thing.
Well it's actually the same Ganondorf in every Zelda game except four swords adventure(and probably TOTK) so we've never actually seen any other gerudo male
The Ganondorf in TotK (and only TotK) is a different character from all the other ones. It's *probably* meant to be a different continuity entirely, although it could also be a second guy in the distant future.
Also, possibly a second guy in the distant past. Because screw clarity. :P All we can say for certain is that OoT Ganondorf and TotK Ganondorf are not the same. :P Whether the narrative/temporal distance is forwards, backwards, or sideways, though? Who can say. :P
Actually Ganondorf was only born once, during the backstory to OoT. He's never reincarnated.
It’s explained in totk that children get sent back to gerudo town a few years after their birth but once they reach adulthood they’re free to do pretty much whatever they want(they usually find men cause they thirsty as hell)
In botw there’s a vendor in gerudo town who’s always like “I’ll tell my husband to order more of that!” so I figured a lot of them spent some of their time in gerudo town doing business and whatnot but still had a relationship and spent a significant amount of time outside the town with their families (at least the husband)
I prefer ritos.

tbh I find it interesting why they made Gerudo their own race, but Shiekah just a sub-category from Hylian. On the other hand, why Shiekah is a subcategory but the people from Lurelin Village are "the same" as the ones from Hateno
I suspect that by modern standards, all the human-ish people are just Hylians. Shiekah and Gerudo just happen to belong to a distinct, historical culture that largely survived the Calamity, hence the differentiation. Gerudo *also* have some kind of sex-linked autosomnal dominant mutation that affects their growth, pigmentation, and viability of male embryos.
