How do you get the gear in the overworld?

Question

I've acquired two of the three years I need from Gerudo Village but still need a third. This one in particular is taunting me… I see a relatively easy solution using hover boots, but I can't find any. I've got the hookshot, the power gauntlets, the feather, etc., but this year still eludes me.

Answer 1

I stumbled upon the solution. Given the limitations of the switch for now the answer only lives as this tweet, but all you have to do is:

• Use the non breakable block to get onto the pile of sand
• Place the non breakable block next to the gear
• Move to two tiles away from the breakable block (see diagram)
• Move right so you're facing the block
• Use the feather to jump onto the block
• Move up to collect the gear
