How to Open the Gerudo Sanctum Chest

Enter with a Holmill from the Outside

There is a room in Gerudo Sanctum with some pots and a treasure chest on the other side that may seem inaccessible from that point. However, there is a way to go to that chest.

Go back outside the Gerudo Sanctum and go north. Go to the east and eventually, you will reach an area with a warp point and a sandy tile nearby. Use a Holmill on that sandy tile to go to where the chest is. The treasure chest contains 50 Rupees.

How to Open the Zora River Cave Chest

Use a Bomb and Bombfish to Obtain Chest

Use the Old Bed echo to stand on and then summon a Bombfish Echo to blow up the platform where the chest is. The chest contains a Golden Egg inside.

Use Brazier Echo to Burn the Platform

You can also summon a Brazier underneath the platform then use bind on it, and then climb the ladder so the Brazier will reach the wooden platform to burn it.
