Vatorsa Snowfield
The Vatorsa Snowfield is a location in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. It covers a small area within the Gerudo Highlands.
Breath of the Wild
The Vatorsa Snowfield is a cold and snowy area, found in the center of the Gerudo Highlands. Like much of the region, it is bitterly cold and Link will need armor with Cold Resistance, such as the Snowquill Set, in order to survive. While not named on the map, the West Vatorsa Snowfield is an area at the snowfields west side, with a Stone Talus.
At the far northwest end of the area, there is a Bokoblin camp with some dangerous Blue Bokoblin and Black Bokoblin. After defeating all of the enemies, a treasure chest unlocks containing a Ruby gem. A massive enemy base can also be found near the center of the snowfield, with multiple Black Moblin and a Black Bokoblin. A wooden treasure chest can be found at the top with five Bomb Arrows.
Just south of the Kuh Takkar Shrine, on the higher ledge, there is an ice block. If Link melts the ice block, he can find a Korok. Just northwest of the shrine, there is a bridge that extends over the slope. At the west end of the bridge, solve the block puzzle to get another Korok Seed.
Kuh Takkar Shrine

The Kuh Takkar Shrine can be found at the far east end of the snowfield. Link will need to melt the giant ice block found in the area to reveal the shrine. Inside the shrine, Link will need to carry the ice block all the way to the top of the shrine without it melting. Link will need to use the metal block to regularly block the flames. Link will meet with Kuh Takkar at the altar to get the Spirit Orb.

Tears of the Kingdom
The Vatorsa Snowfield is a high elevated area of the Gerudo Highlands, found just southeast of the Gerudo Summit. The cold temperatures here require Link to have two levels of Cold Resistance to survive without taking damage.
Near the center of the Snowfield there is a camp with numerous Soldier Construct IIs and a Captain Construct III. After defeating all the enemies, he can open a chest containing three Frost Emitters.
Korok Seeds
- At the west end of the snowfield, as it begins gaining elevation as it heads north, there is a small sheltered overhang that looks like a small cave. Collect the flower here and the series of flowers heading northward to get the Korok Seed.
- At the northwest part of the snowfield, the path curves to the north. Follow it all the way to the north and climb the small ledge here. Lift the rock to get a Korok Seed.
- At the far west end of the snowfield, northeast of the Meadela's Mantle on the lower elevation, there is a block. puzzle. Place the block into the wall to complete the puzzle and get the Korok Seed.
- At the east end of the snowfield, there is a Korok who wants to reunite with his friend, who is way down the slope to the north. Link can attach the Korok to the nearby Sled and also use a Steering Stick, but it might send the Korok overboard. It's slow, but it's a safe walk to reunite the Koroks to get a pair of Korok Seeds.
