Why is Gerudo Town female only?

Gerudo are almost exclusively female because only one male is born to the race every 100 years, a unique trait established in Ocarina of Time that has deep lore roots, possibly a magical curse by the twin witches Kotake and Koume, or perhaps a genetic phenomenon where males are born from rare interspecies pairings with Hylians (or other races), with the females leaving to find mates and returning with daughters, while the single male becomes their king. This exception makes male Gerudo incredibly rare, leading to Ganondorf being the most prominent (and often only) male seen in many games, as his existence prevents new male births until his death or sealing.

Why is Ganondorf the only male Gerudo?

Ganondorf is the only male Gerudo seen because, by their lore, only one male is born every 100 years, and he's destined to be king, but his existence (or the curse tied to him) seems to prevent other males from being born or recognized, meaning most of the time, there just isn't another male around to meet. Theories suggest this rare male birth might be a consequence of a pact or curse, perhaps linked to Demise's hatred, making Ganondorf the recurring villain and preventing other men from emerging or surviving, effectively making him the only significant male Gerudo in the timeline.
