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. Spicy Peppers that grow near the entrance gate from the Temple of Time can 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.

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.
Melt the ice block here to free some fairy lights to interact with. Multiple methods for melting ice exist, such as standing next to the ice with a lit torch or wooden weapon that's on fire, or a fire elemental weapon. Shooting it with fire arrows also works, although this will take multiple arrows. If none of those are available, one last ditch method is to drop flint and wood together, and hit them with a metal weapon to create a fire (although this can't be done when it's raining). This allows you to ignite a wooden weapon and/or arrows (although if the bow is wooden be careful you don't ignite it too, put it away quickly if you do.) Once the ice is completely melted, the Korok will appear.
