The River of the Dead is a location in Breath of the Wild. Due to the constant winter season and snowy mountains surrounding it, it is a frigid body of water that will damage Link on contact. The air surrounding the river is cold enough to damage Link as well without cold-resistant clothing, such as the Warm Doublet, and the water itself is too cold to swim in without taking considerable damage. Spicy Peppers that grow near the entrance gate from the Temple of Time can be cooked into a meal that will give Link temporary resistance to the cold when consumed.

A Raft is docked near the Temple of Time gateway, which can be propelled with a Korok Leaf. The River eventually leads off of the Great Plateau to a large descent below.

Nearby Korok Seeds

Interact with the fairy lights under the bridge. Use Magnesis to make a safe platform.

Fairy lights can be seen under the bridge, however the water is very cold and will kill you quickly if you fall in. Use Magnesis on a nearby metal plate to provide a safe platform. Alternatively you can use Cryonis to lift the log and move it next to the bridge.

Location

After completing the Great Plateau's Main Quest, and having used the paraglider to get to 'ground level', return to the Shrine of Resurrection.

This Korok Seed won't be available immediately, but if you return to whence you came, interacting with the Fairy Lights there will net you a seed.
