When you get to the Desert Entrance, make your way to the west side and there will be an area where you need to hop on top of the empty shells of the Ampilus to get across. While hopping across them, jump to the left side of the area and there will be a Goddess Cube there.

Outside the Temple of Time, to the north is a mine cart that you need to ride in after hitting the time crystal in the cave across from you. When you are riding the cart, you’ll need to hit the Goddess Cube at the top of the ramp on the left as you pass it.

At the North Desert, there is a loop to the North East that you can enter through a cracked wall that you can bomb open. Enter the cave and at the end you will be able to grapple after grapple along the desert walls until you finally reach a goddess Cube on the right side.

At the South section of the Desert, there is a Goddess Cube that is sitting on top of the broken walls, but it can only be reached once you can grapple to it. Look for the target to the north east – to the right- of the cube and grapple up to grab it.
