You will find a handful of these along the slope, and even better: you won’t need to worry about the weather like you will if you go into the Gerudo Desert.
However, if you do want to go scavenging in the scorching heat ofthe Gerudo Desert, first, remember to wear the appropriate attire to deal with the heat, and thentravel to the Karahatag Shrineand drop down to where the Shrine is sitting on the sand.
