Walnot Mountain is a location in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Breath of the Wild
The mountain is part of the larger mountain range that includes Mount Lanayru and is located just northeast of the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab. It connects with the nearby Madorna Mountain to the northwest through the Lanayru Range. The east part of the mountain is at a very high elevation and Link will need Cold Resistance in order to navigate the region without taking damage. The west part of the mountain has a slightly lower elevation and is just warm enough for Link to travel without having to worry the cold.
As it is predominately cold on the mountain, the area is filled with ice-based enemies, including Ice Keese and Ice-Breath Lizalfos. At the western peak of the Walnot Mountain, there is a yellow flower and collecting a series of flowers leads to the peak to the east, where a Korok is located.

From the seed platform a short ways above the nearby shrine, quickly reach the destination before time's up. It is much farther than it looks and can only be reached by gliding or surfing quickly. Cold Resistance Level 2 is needed to survive the temperature.
The flower trail to this seed begins directly to the west, at the top of the nearest hill in that direction. Following it will take you into an area where Cold Resistance Level 2 is required to prevent damage.

The Jikais Shrine is located down the cliff at the northeast side of Walnot Mountain. Titled Jailbreak, the shrine requires Link to use Ultrahand to move blocks and platforms, followed by Ascend climb up to higher levels. The shrine gets its title based on the puzzle in the final room, where it appears that Link is stuck in a jail. However, using Ultrahand, he can grab a distance platform, which Link can use to get out of the jail.
Korok Seeds
- Southeast of the northern Walnot Mountain Cave entrance, on a bit higher ledge, there is a circle of rocks with one rock missing from the arrangement. Place the rock in its proper spot to get the Korok Seed.
