Breath of the Wild guide
There are 900 Korok Seeds hidden across Hyrule, but you only need a fraction of them to max out your inventory. Here is how to spot every kind of Korok puzzle, what Hestu trades for your seeds and where to start.
Koroks hide behind a handful of repeating puzzles. Once you know the patterns, you start seeing them everywhere.
Hestu expands your weapon, bow and shield pouches in exchange for Korok Seeds. Each upgrade costs more than the last.
