'''Gerudo Valley'''<ref>[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAABAABnUYnWPtw3lA Sakurai's post on Miiverse]</ref> ({{ja|ゲルドの谷}}, ''Gerudonotani'') is a [[stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''. The stage is set in the {{s|zeldawiki|Gerudo Valley}} area, which first appeared in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}''. It is one of two currently revealed stages from the [[The Legend of Zelda (universe)|''Zelda'' universe]] in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'', alongside [[Spirit Train]]. During the Developer Direct, the ''{{SSBBMusicLink|The Legend of Zelda|Gerudo Valley}}'' music track could be heard playing on this stage during gameplay.

{{s|zeldawiki|Kotake and Koume}}, the twin witches from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', [https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKlmqUQW5A appear] as stage hazards.

==Overview==
[[File:Gerudo Valley Fight.gif|thumb|right|Battle in the Gerudo Valley stage.]]
The Gerudo Valley stage is fairly long, being a mostly flat, grounded stage. The stone and natural flooring serve as solid platforms, and a bridge crosses the chasm between the two stretches of land. Two canopies stand on each piece of land, providing soft [[platform]]s for characters to stand on.

The central bridge can be destroyed by attacking it, similarly to the floor of [[Green Hill Zone]], allowing characters to fall into the chasm below. Below the bridge, two very small platforms protrude from each side of the chasm, which can also be broken by attacks. When the bridge breaks, the bottom blast line moves downwards to compensate. If the bridge reforms while a character is still below it, they can be KO'ed by a higher blast line. The "Song of Time" plays to reform the bridge.

Koume and Kotake also appear as stage hazards. Kotake will attack the left side of the stage using fire, while Koume will attack the right side using ice, which can [[freeze]] characters. A desert wind will blow across the stage, for aesthetic effect. The colour scheme of Gerudo Valley is generally brighter than it was in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''.

==Origin==
Gerudo Valley first appeared in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', being an area that would lead to {{s|zeldawiki|Gerudo's Fortress}} and the {{s|zeldawiki|Haunted Wasteland}}; however, the visual design of the stage comes from the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D''.

In this stage, two canopies, which were not present in ''Ocarina of Time'', can be seen on both sides of the bridge. The river, {{s|zeldawiki|Zora's River}}, can be seen flowing through the canyon walls; however, the water level is much higher than it was in ''Ocarina of Time'', and the waterfall is also much higher. In ''Ocarina of Time'', the {{s|zeldawiki|Gerudos}} guarded, and eventually destroyed, the bridge to ward off intruders. Carpenters then set up a tent nearby to repair the bridge, but are later captured by the Gerudos and are held captive in Gerudo's Fortress. After [[Link]] rescues them, the bridge is finally repaired. In this stage, the carpenters' tent can be seen near the bridge. The bridge in this stage is intact at first, but can be destroyed. The bridge was also made out of wood planks in ''Ocarina of Time'' rather than wood logs. In the background can be seen Gerudo's Fortress and the {{s|zeldawiki|Horseback Archery Range}} near the fortress.

[[zeldawiki:Twinrova|Kotake and Koume]], together known as Twinrova, are witches that first appeared in ''Ocarina of Time'' as the boss of the Spirit Temple. They are sisters that have magic powers; Kotake's being ice based, and Koume flame based. During the boss battle, they use their ice and flame power respectively to fight Link. They also appeared as a boss in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages| The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages]]'' and ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons| Oracle of Seasons]]'' in a somewhat similar fashion as in ''Ocarina of Time''. In this stage, Kotake and Koume appear as stage hazards by using their ice and flame powers.

When ''Ocarina of Time'' was first released, the [[zeldawiki:Gerudo Symbol| Gerudo symbol]] used to represent the Gerudo tribe was a star and crescent, but was replaced with a different symbol in future ports of ''Ocarina of Time'' such as ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest|Ocarina of Time: Master Quest]]'', its release on the [[Virtual Console]], and ''Ocarina of Time 3D''. The original symbol was removed due to its resemblance to the Islamic symbol. While the new symbol was used to replace the star and crescent, it first appeared in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask| The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' for the Gerudo Pirates and has appeared in numerous ''Zelda'' games since to represent the Gerudo tribe. In Ω Mode, the stage has the current Gerudo symbol as a floor design.
