Quick Links
The Sand Boots and Snow Boots were two pieces of armor inBreath of the Wildthat made it easier to walk/sprint in sand and snow respectively. Getting them required the completion of two side quests. InTears of the Kingdom, they’re no longer rewards for side quests and are instead put on sale at the Gerudo Secret Club (GSC).
Getting into the Gerudo Secret Club inTears of the Kingdomis different this time around as well. Link won’t be listening in on conversations for a password; he’ll need to break in from below. Players will want to bring along a weapon fused with something that can break walls before attempting to get the Sand Boots and Snow Boots.

How to Reach Gerudo Town
In short:Gerudo Townis southwest from Kara Kara Bazaar at these coordinates:-3875, -2864, 0043.
Players should leave fromKara Kara Bazaar(coordinates:-3273, -2551, 0023) and take the Sand Seal near the bazaar’s Mayatat Shrine. Activate this Shrine to unlock the Travel Point, then approach the Sand Seal as quietly as possible.If players have Stealth Armor, they should equip that before sneaking up on the Sand Seal.
Having a difficult time sneaking up on Sand Seals? Then stun them with a makeshift bomb arrow. Hold downZR-buttonto aim with the bow, thenup on the directional padto select and attach aBomb Flowerfrom the inventory to the arrow.
The bottom-right map will become unreadable as Link surfs out into the desert. Be careful of theDesert Rift, columns of sand, and enemies (like Gibdos), and useGerudo Town’s coordinatesas a guide. Thankfully, coordinates do not vanish from the minimap.
Entering the Gerudo Secret Club Walkthrough
Once players are in Gerudo Town, they should activate theSoryotanog Shrineonthe “roof” of the Gerudo Chief’s palace. Then, return to the entrance, and look for a way into the sewers. Players will want to head towards these coordinates:-3792, 2903, 0043. Jump down into the waterway from here.
Once Link appears in the Gerudo Secret Club, go towards theentrance of the storeandbreak the crateby the door. He’ll be able to enter through here after meeting Greta, the shop owner, for the first time. This will save players from having to venture through the waterways again.

Which Pair of Boots Should You Get First?
TheSand Bootsand Snow Boots cost1200 Rupeesand1300 Rupeesrespectively. It’s very possible that players won’t have nearly enough money to purchase both at the same time. Both boots have abase defense of3and can beenhanced by a Great Fairy.
If players intend on exploring the desert/helping Riju, thenthe Sand Bootsare recommended. They’re also 100 Rupees cheaper than theSnow Boots. However, those that want to complete theHebra Regionshould instead choose theSnow Boots. Players will eventually want to get both, but for now, grab whatever’s the most convenient.
Keep in mind that the Sand Boots and Snow Boots arenotpart of an armor set. Wearing them with other pieces of armor won’t grant any Set Bonuses. Also, while Sand Boots and Snow Boots base defense can be increase, it’s generally recommended toenhance armor that make a Set Bonusbefore “leveling up” the boots.
Aside from the boots, players can also buythe Desert Voe Spaulder and Desert Voe Trousersat the Gerudo Secret Shop.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis available for Nintendo Switch.
