It is late and I'm very tired, but i can't sleep because I have a hellacious toothache so I've been playing Ocarina of Time on my 3DS to keep my mind busy! I've been chipping away at the Spirit Temple and I just encountered one of the Iron Knuckles. The room the Knuckles are in have some really cool decorations, like battle axes! But more interestingly, sets of really nice chain maille are posed behind some sandy, protective fencing. The armor seems to be based on Egyptian culture; the head dressing specifically reminds me of a nemes, the famous striped headcloth one might find among the Pharaohs' regalia. What also piques my interest is the veil that covers the entire face... At first, because it's quite hard to see much details (even WITH the free cam access I have) I thought I was looking at the wooden mannequin of the armor set... But, nope! It appears that the Gerudo wear a cloth around the full face while dressed with this particular maille. Something else I find interesting is that there are what appears to maybe be snakes or perhaps a dragon decorated along the face cloth? And also note the snags and holes at the bottom of the material, implying that these aren't just decorative mannequins but are sets of armor that has been (and perhaps will continue to be) used. While this really isn't anything hidden, nor is it even that remotely impressive, I still wanted to share what I discovered with you folks because now I want to see Ganondorf or Nabooru wearing this armor.
