The Gerudo Canyon Passage

Speak with the Caravan Leader

A Gerudo merchant stands frustrated at the western mouth of Gerudo Canyon, unable to pass with her goods caravan. She explains that the Upheaval caused a series of rockfalls that completely sealed the canyon passage — a route that Gerudo traders have used for generations to travel between the desert and Hyrule Field. She offers a Gerudo Sword as reward if you can clear the path.

Assess the Debris Blockages

Walk into the canyon to survey the three major debris piles blocking the route. The first is a loose pile of boulders movable with Ultrahand. The second is a dense wall of cracked rock that requires explosive force — look for Bomb Flowers growing on the canyon walls nearby, or attach a rock to an arrow and hit the cracked sections. The third blockage involves a collapsed archway whose keystone can be repositioned using Ultrahand to stabilize the passage.

Clear the Rock Debris

Use Ultrahand to grab and throw the loose boulders from the first pile off the canyon edge below. For the cracked rock wall, fuse a Bomb Flower to an arrow and shoot the marked stress points to detonate and break through. The collapsed archway requires careful Ultrahand positioning — lift the center keystone block and rotate it 90 degrees to fill the gap and create a stable walkway through.

Escort the Caravan Through

Once all three blockages are cleared, return to the caravan leader and report the passage is open. A short cutscene shows the wagon rolling through the restored canyon route. She rewards you with a Gerudo Sword — a weapon with high base damage — plus 150 Rupees from the trading profits she anticipates earning. The passage remains open permanently, enabling faster travel between regions.
