"Forbidden City Entry" is a Main Quest in Breath of the Wild.[1]

Overview[]

If Link tries to enter Gerudo Town, the guards will stop him, as men are not allowed inside.[2] However, he can find a Hylian man named Benja nearby, where he is watching the main entrance. When asked if he is spying, Benja will become flustered and refute the claim.[3] He explains that he is the leader of a Merchant caravan that has been stalled at Kara Kara Bazaar.[4] Link asks once again if he is spying, Benja insists that he is conducting research.[5] Through his research, Benja has found information on sneaking into Gerudo Town.[6] If Link asks about this information, Benja will gladly share his tale.[7]

Benja has been attempted to access Gerudo Town for almost a week with no success,[8] but then he heard about a man who managed to slip inside.[9] He has heard rumors that this man travels between Kara Kara Bazaar and Gerudo Town.[10] Therefore, he has been waiting at the entrance to Gerudo Town to try and spot him.[11] Once he is done speaking, the Main Quest will begin.

To find the rumored man, Link must go to the Kara Kara Bazaar and ask around about a suspicious male Merchant. If Link asks Maike about the man, she suggests that he asks one of the Hylian merchants at the Bazaar instead.[12] If Link asks Emri about the man, she tells him that she can recall a female Merchant who frequents the General Store in the Kara Kara Bazaar Inn.[13] If Link asks Robsten about the man, he also recalls seeing a Hylian girl at the General Store.[14] If Link asks Ripp about the man, she recalls a particular female Merchant at the Kara Kara Bazaar Inn who wore Gerudo clothes.[15][16] Ripp reasons that the Merchant is probably still at the Bazaar because Divine Beast Vah Naboris is scaring people from traveling.[17] If Link goes to the General Store and asks Shaillu about a sneaky guy, she mentions a Hylian girl who likes to relax on the roof.[18]

On the roof of the Kara Kara Bazaar Inn, Link can find the mysterious Hylian woman, who turns out to be a Merchant named Vilia.[19] She claims not to know anyting about a man sneaking into Gerudo Town and apologizes for not being able to help.[20] When Link investigates her more closely, she becomes embarrassed.[21] If Link compliments her beauty, Vilia says that her clothing only enhances her looks.[22][note 1] She offers to sell Link the Gerudo Outfit for 600 Rupees, which she promises will make people see him differently.[24] After buying it, Link changes into the Gerudo clothing as Vilia looks away.[25]

When Vilia sees Link in his new clothes, she says that Link is a "good-lookin' gal" and doubts that anyone would suspect that he is a man.[26] Vilia also explains that the Gerudo Outfit helps with the scorching Temperatures in the Gerudo Desert,[27] referring to its heat-resistant Set Bonus. While wearing the full Outfit, Link appears to be female to everyone and can walk into Gerudo Town undisturbed. After walking into the Town, the Main Quest will be completed.
