Gerudo Desert Korok Seeds
The Gerudo Desert is located in the southwestern corner of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's expansive Hyrule map, and the sun-scorched region houses tons of Korok seeds for you to collect. But before you travel to this region to hunt down Koroks, keep in mind that the Gerudo Desert has unbearably hot days and frigid nights. Because of the extreme weather conditions in the Gerudo Desert, make sure to take the appropriate precautions by equipping Heat or Cold Resistant Armor or preparing meals to help you withstand the intolerable temperatures.
In this Tears of the Kingdom guide, you'll find all the Korok Seeds Locations in the Gerudo Desert, along with detailed instructions to help you find them and a handy checklist to help you track your progress.

When you first reach the region, most of the Gerudo Desert, including Gerudo Town, will be covered in the "sand shroud" – a dense sandstorm that makes it nearly impossible to see and disables your Purah Pad's Map even if you activated the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. With the sandstorm making it impractical to travel and the ferocious Molduga lurking beneath the desert sand, we highly recommend that you activate the Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower and complete Tap to Reveal before tracking down the Korok Seeds in the Gerudo Desert.
