How do Gerudo reproduce?

In order for the Gerudo race to continue to exist, Gerudo genes must remain dominant during the 100 year time period between the birth of Gerudo males. Since Gerudo reproduce by pairing with Hylian males, their offspring are heterozygous, with dominant Gerudo genes.

While the simplest explanation is that Ganondorf's father was a random Hylian, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume his father was the previous Gerudo King. Some thoughts: Niko shows us that, while it may not be the norm, it's more than possible for human beings to live beyond 100 years.

A Tragic Origin (Skyward Sword/Ocarina of Time)

In Ocarina of Time, it is explained that Ganondorf was born a powerful Gerudo sorcerer, the sworn enemy of the human races of Hyrule.

Are Gorons all male?

All Gorons that are seen are male and are referred to as such. They call each other "brother" (calling Link "Brudda" in Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess) and never once has a Goron referred to another as "she" or "her".

This might mean that Goron are genderless creatures and are thought of to be male as they have no female body parts. As they are not really male, they are therefore aloud in Gerudo Town.

How do Gorons reproduce?

The first (one I personally thought of) is that they are born directly from magma and are subsequently adopted by another Goron. The second (one I've heard on this sub) is that they reproduce asexually, with the rocks on their back bulging and splitting off into a new, baby Goron.

No. There are no female Gorons. As stated in the game itself, the Goron tribe is a male-only tribe that ever existed in the series.

Who is the villain in Botw 2?
