Can you return the Thunder Helm?

The Thunder Helm cannot be sold or returned in the classical sense, as it is a Gerudo treasure and a loaner item that is borrowed from Riju, the Chieftainess of the Gerudo, after completing all four side quests in Gerudo Town. Once borrowed, the Thunder Helm becomes a part of Link’s inventory, and while it provides lightning resistance and other benefits, it cannot be given back to Riju or sold at any clothes shops.
