Disclaimer: of course there are even more places where you could find these weapons, but personally, I think the ones I listed here are the easiest and most covenient. Every player is guaranteed to have unlocked 6 warp points on the Great Plateau when starting this quest (provided you didn't heavily glitch your game, of course) so locations that are relatively close to the plateau should be easy to reach and fast to find.
For example, you can also get a Frostspear in Harfin Valley, halfway between the Mounted Archery Camp and Highland Stable. But in order to get THIS Frostspear, you have to travel to an slightly obscure place with no convenient warp points close by and defeat the Stalnox that lies in the valley, which I think is less easy/fast than just poking a Bokoblin near Rito Village with a thunder-elemental weapon and snatching his spear.
Anyway, here are the promised in-depth sources:
