Where Is the Korok Seed Guy in Tears of the Kingdom?

Last updated
Ever find yourself wandering around the vast, beautiful lands of Hyrule in Tears of the Kingdom and suddenly think, ‘Wait a minute, where’s the Korok Seed guy?’ You’re not alone! This guide has got you covered with the answer you’re looking for.
So, you’re on a grand adventure, exploring every nook and cranny of Hyrule, and you realize you’ve got a bunch of Korok Seeds but nowhere to use them. You start wondering, where exactly is the Korok Seed guy in Tears of the Kingdom?
Meet Hestu, Your Korok Seed Pal!
Hestu, the larger-than-life Korok with a maracas passion, is who you’re looking for! This friendly character is the one and only Korok Seed trader in the game. He’s your go-to guy for expanding your inventory slots in exchange for those precious Korok Seeds you’ve been collecting.
Finding Hestu isn’t as straightforward as one might hope. He’s on the move, but his initial location is typically around the area of Korok Forest. However, Hestu does travel, so if you’ve already met him once, you might need to search in a few other areas where he likes to hang out, such as near stables or along popular travel paths between major locations in Hyrule.
Why Hestu and Korok Seeds Are Worth Your Time
Now you might be asking, ‘Why should I care about Hestu and these Korok Seeds?’ Well, if you enjoy having extra space for all your weapons, bows, and shields, then finding Hestu is a must. Each time you give him Korok Seeds, he’ll use his maracas to perform a little dance and, voilà, more inventory space for you!
Each upgrade requires more Korok Seeds than the last, so keep an eye out for those hidden Koroks all over Hyrule to gather as many seeds as possible. This makes exploring every inch of the world not just rewarding but also super beneficial for your adventure.
