In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, incredible 900 Koroks are hiding throughout Hyrule. For every Korok discovered, Link receives a Korok Seed, which you can exchange at Hestu for additional slots for weapons, bows and shields. If you just want to completely expand your inventory, you don’t have to find all 900 forest spirits: 441 Korok seeds are enough to unlock all purchasable inventory slots. The remaining 459 seeds are particularly interesting for players who really want to complete Breath of the Wild 100%, because the Koroks make up by far the largest portion of the game progress shown on the map.
On this page you will find our central overview all 900 Korok locations in Zelda: Breath of the Wild. We’ll show you how many Koroks hide in each tower region, how to recognize the different Korok puzzles, where you Hestu Find out how much each inventory expansion costs, what you get for every 900 Korok seeds and how to get the last missing ones in particular Koroks detected as efficiently as possible. The individual ones Locations can be perfectly combined with ours 100% walkthrough for Breath of the Wild connect in which we shrines, Koroks, places, Side Quests and combine important equipment in the shortest possible ways.
How many Koroks are there in Zelda: Breath of the Wild?
Overall, there are exactly in the base game 900 Koroks or 900 Korok seeds. Unlike Shrines, Memories or the Titans, these are Koroks spread across almost the entire open world and are often found in places that at first glance seem completely uninteresting: under a single stone on a mountain peak, behind a crumbling cliff face, in a hollow tree trunk, under a bridge, in the middle of a lake, or even at the top of Hyrule Castle. This is precisely why the search is ideal for simultaneously taking all map locations and other content for a complete game state.
| Target | Needed Korok Seeds |
|---|---|
| First inventory expansion | 1 |
| Unlock all weapon slots | 208 |
| Unlock all bow slots | 73 |
| Unlock all shield slots | 160 |
| Completely expand inventory | 441 |
| Find all Koroks | 900 |
After the complete expansion, your bags still remain 459 Korok Seeds left, which no longer provide any further gaming advantage. They are still required for complete map progress and are therefore indispensable for our 100% score.
All 900 Koroks by region
The search for the 15 Sheikah tower regions can be organized most clearly. We also list Hyrule Castle separately, although its Koroks technically belongs to the Central Tower map section. This allows you to check off the particularly dense and dangerous castle region independently of the rest of the level. The following distribution results in exactly 900 Korok seeds.
| Region | Koroks | Matching guide |
|---|---|---|
| Great Plateau | 18 | Great Plateau |
| Dueling Peaks Tower / West Necluda | 59 | Dueling Peaks Tower |
| Hateno Tower | 66 | Hateno Tower |
| Lanayru Tower | 62 | Lanayru Tower |
| Faron Tower | 58 | Faron Tower |
| Tower of the lake | 92 | Lake Tower |
| Desert Tower | 68 | Wasteland Tower |
| Gerudo Tower | 36 | Gerudo Tower |
| Tabanta Tower | 37 | Tabanta Tower |
| Hebra Tower | 73 | Hebra Tower |
| Woodland Tower | 35 | Woodland Tower and 35 Koroks |
| Eldin Tower | 45 | Eldin Tower |
| Akkala Tower | 57 | Akkala Tower |
| Ridgeland Tower | 80 | Ridgeland Tower |
| Tower of the plain without castle Hyrule | 89 | Tower of the level |
| Hyrule Castle | 25 | Hyrule Castle in the Walkthrough |
| Total | 900 | All Koroks found |
The boundaries of the tower regions are not always intuitive. A Korok that geographically already looks like Akkala, Gerudo or Central Hyrule can still belong to the neighboring Tower region on the map. For the last missing seeds, you should therefore use the actual map layout as a guide and not just the landscape names.
You can find most of the Koroks at the Central Tower and Lake Tower
The greatest Korok density awaits you in the center Hyrule’s. The area of the tower of the level, including Hyrule Castle, has 114 Koroks: 89 of them are in the open central region, another 25 within or directly at Hyrule Castle. However, due to the many guards, this region is also one of the most dangerous sections of the entire search. With the antique set, some antique arrows and a good shield, the search becomes much more pleasant.
The Tower region of the lake has the second largest number with 92 Koroks. The problem here is less dangerous enemies, but there are numerous seeds on mountain tops, rock faces, rivers and in an area with frequent rain. Revali’s Gale and the complete climbing set save enormous amounts of time.
Find
Hestu – this is how you exchange Korok seeds for
Korok seeds alone do not increase Link’s inventory yet. For this you need Hestu, the huge Korok with its rattles. You first meet him on the way from the Dueling Peaks stable to Kakariko Village. He stands on the road below the village and starts the Side Quest “The only true rattles”. A group Bokoblins stole his rattles; defeat the monsters in the nearby camp, open the Treasure Chest and return his instrument to Hestu. You can find our complete early route in the chapter Kakariko Village, Hestu and the Great Fairy.
After returning the rattles, you can exchange Korok seeds for inventory slots for the first time. Hestu initially only allows a few expansions at this point and then sets off for its homeland. He can stop at several stables along the way, including the River Stable, the Swamp Stable, and the Woodland Stable. At the latest after you have crossed the Lost Woods, you will find him permanently in the forest of the Koroks near the Great Deku Tree. He stays there for the rest of the game and can carry out any inventory expansions that are still open.
How many krog seeds does Hestu need?
Each expansion increases the capacity of exactly one bag by one space. However, the costs increase significantly with almost every further expansion. In total you need 208 seeds for all additional weapon slots, 73 for all bow slots and 160 for all shield slots. Together these are the 441 Korok seeds already mentioned.
| extension | gun bag | bow bag | shield bag |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2. | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 3. | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| 4. | 5 | 5 | 4 |
| 5. | 8 | 8 | 5 |
| 6. | 12 | 12 | 10 |
| 7. | 17 | 17 | 10 |

| 15. | – | – | 15 |
| 16. | – | – | 20 |
| Total | 208 | 73 | 160 |
Which bag should you expand first?
For a normal game, we recommend initially expanding the weapon bag. Melee weapons are changed much more frequently and break regularly, so additional slots are immediately noticeable. This is followed by a few archery areas. The shield bag initially has the lowest priority because you normally need significantly fewer different shields at the same time. Later, when the cheap weapon and bow upgrades are exhausted, you can buy cheap shield slots in between before paying 35, 45, or even 55 seeds for a single additional weapon slot.
For our 100% route you hardly have to think about it for long. Since we collect a lot of Koroks on the way through all regions, there will be enough seeds available for all three bags in the long term.
Recognize all Korok puzzles – these hiding places exist
The 900 Koroks are not simply distributed as figures in Hyrule. You almost always have to first recognize and solve a small puzzle. Nintendo repeats certain basic ideas in numerous variations. Anyone who knows the patterns can spot many Koroks from a great distance and is much less likely to need a guide.
| Korok Puzzle | How to solve it |
|---|---|
| Single stone | Lifts a prominently placed small stone. These are particularly common on mountain peaks, pillars, ruins or in the middle of small islands. |
| Hidden Stone | Removes a metal plate with Magnesis, blasts brittle rocks, burns leaves, or moves a large stone with Stasis and then lifts the small stone underneath. |
| Stone circle | A pattern of small stones has a noticeable gap. Find a single stone in the area and complete the circle or pattern. |
| Stone ring in water | Throw a small stone so that it lands within the ring of stones sticking out of the water. |
| metal cube | Two almost identical cube constructions stand next to each other. Use Magnesis to move the loose metal cube so that both shapes look exactly the same. |
| Metal ball on chain | Grabs the heavy ball with the magnetic module and places it in the nearby hollow tree trunk or the appropriate recess. |
| Large rock | Rolls or throws a large boulder into a hole. On inclines, Stasis helps to punch the rock uphill. |
| Rock between two trees | Roll a large stone down the slope and let it roll between two trees that are conspicuously next to each other. |
| Water lily circle | Jump into the water from a sufficient height and land exactly within the circle of lily pads. |
| Yellow flower sequence | Touch the yellow flower. She disappears and appears a few meters away. Follow the entire trail to the final white flower. |
| Flower groups | First touch the individual flower, then the group of two, then three, four and finally five flowers. |
| Pinwheel and balloons | Stand right next to the small wind turbine. Balloons or small targets will then appear that you have to hit completely with arrows. |
| Hidden Balloon | Searches for a single balloon in treetops, under bridges, in rocky niches or ruins and shoots it down. |
| Acorn | Shoots the conspicuous acorn. It often hangs in hollow tree trunks, under bridges or in unusual openings. |
| Time Trial | Stand on the tree stump with the leaf symbol. A yellow ring appears some distance away. Reach it within the given time. |
| Adjust fruit trees | Three almost identical trees stand next to each other. Remove as many apples or other fruits from a tree until all three have exactly the same pattern. |
| Sacrificial statues | There are bowls of fruit in front of small statues. Place the same object in the empty bowl as in front of the other statues – usually an apple, but in Gerudo, for example, a maxi durian or sword banana. |
| Invisible Korok | A small spark or swirl of leaves moves across the ground or around an object. Wait at his route and press A as soon as the glow reaches Link. |
| Summit Glitter | Climb particularly tall trees, flagpoles, tower tops or building roofs and examine the glittering leaves there. |
| Melting ice | An unusual block of ice stands in the landscape. Melt it with a firearm, campfire, or fire arrows and then examine the uncovered point. |
| Horse obstacle | Jump a horse over a short series of fences in the correct order. |
Tip: Stasis helps enormously in the Korok search
Activates Stasis or later Stasis+ when you reach a suspicious area. This means that moving stones, rocks and many other relevant objects glow a striking yellow and are much easier to see between grass, snow or rubble. The same applies to the magnetic module for metal cubes, heavy metal balls or hidden metal plates. Especially if you know that there has to be a Korok in a certain area, but don’t recognize the actual puzzle, you should activate all the modules one after the other.
Find
Korok mask – the best help for all 900 Koroks
Do you have DLC 1? “The Legendary Trials”, you should Korok mask Be sure to collect them before you go specifically looking for all 900 seeds. The mask begins to move and creates a sound when a still unresolved Korok located nearby. However, it doesn’t show you the exact direction or the type of puzzle, so you have to continue to investigate the surroundings yourself.
The Korok Mask is in an EX treasure chest inside the Lost Woods. First follow the normal torchlight path. As soon as you have reached the last two stationary torches, use the magnetic module and look west or northwest between the trees for the hidden EX chest in a hollow tree. You can also find a more detailed description in our guide to all armor and masks.
Hero’s Path also use for the Korok search
A second useful tool from DLC 1 is the Path of the Hero. It shows on the world map which paths Link has already taken during the last hours of play. This doesn’t reveal any Korok locations, but it does make large areas visible that you have barely explored, if at all. If you are still missing several dozen Koroks in the end, it is worth specifically examining such white or unused areas of the map with the Korok mask.
18 Koroks on the Great Plateau
The Great Plateau contains a total of 18 Korok Seeds and is great for getting to know the main puzzle types. Already during the first two chapters of our Walkthrough we collect several of them about water lily circles, hidden stones, metal balls and other simple tasks. However, you cannot meaningfully collect all 18 seeds before receiving the Paraglider: some Koroks are located below or outside the high edge of the plateau and will only be accessible after completing the tutorial section.
Also return to the Shrine of Resurrection later. Right in the chamber where Link awakens at the start of the game, after leaving the plateau, there is another Korok. Such story locations that have already been visited are among the candidates that are particularly easy to miss during an early search.
59 Koroks near the twin mountains
The region of the Dueling Peaks Tower has 59 Koroks and is ideal for an early collection round because you are often traveling between Kakariko Village, the Stable of the Dueling Peaks and Hateno Village anyway. Pay particular attention to the two peaks of the Dueling Peaks, bridges, small islands in rivers and striking clumps of trees. Many puzzles are practically right on the road and can be completed without major detours during the main story.
Our route through Kakariko Village connects the first Korok seeds simultaneously with Hestu, Cotura and several Side Quests, which is why you don’t have to visit the region first You have to search completely for Koroks in the endgame.
66 Koroks at Hateno Tower
Around Hateno Village, the Mount Lanayru and East Necluda are hiding 66 Koroks. Here you will find a particularly large number of seeds on cliffs, mountain peaks and on the extensive coast. The complete climbing set is therefore extremely helpful. You can even get two of its three parts directly in the Hateno Tower region: the climbing boots and the climbing gloves are in shrines, while you can find the climbing headscarf elsewhere.
Connects the Korok Search to Hateno Village, Purah’s Institute, Link’s House and the Mount Lanayru and Naydra at the Spring of Wisdom. Especially on the way to the summit, several seeds are located directly on already important routes.
62 Koroks in Lanayru
The Lanayru Tower Region has 62 Korok Seeds and covers much of the area surrounding the Lanayru Swamp, the Zora River, and the Zora Village. Here you will find a striking number of water puzzles: circles of water lilies, small islands, rocks in the water and hidden goals under bridges. With the Zora Armor, many higher Locations armor will also be much easier because Link can swim up waterfalls.
Anyone who follows our Walkthrough will automatically collect a large part of this Koroks during the chapters on Vah Ruta, the village of the Zora and the Mount Lanayru.
58 Koroks in Faron
The Tropical Faron Region contains 58 Korok Seeds. Because of the dense jungle, individual stones, acorns, balloons and metal objects are much more difficult to see than in open landscapes. Therefore activate Stasis and Magnesis regularly. The frequent rain also makes climbing difficult, which is why Revali’s Gale and endurance dishes are particularly valuable here.
Important for planning: There are no Korok seeds on Eventide Island itself. You have to explore the entire island for the Korgu Chideh Shrine, but you can’t accidentally miss one of the 900 Koroks there.
92 Koroks at the Lake Tower
With 92 locations, the region around Lake Hylia and southern Hyrule has the second largest number of Korok in the game. Accordingly, you should not complete this section in one long march. Better divide the search into Lake Hylia, western mountains, plateau stable, southern forests and the areas towards the Spring of Courage. Many Koroks sit on mountain tops or in the middle of the water, so Paragliders, cryonis and lots of endurance are important.
The region combines perfectly with our guide to the three dragons Dinraal, Naydra and Farosh, as Farosh regularly appears over Faron and the southern lakes.
68 Koroks at the Wasteland Tower
The Gerudo Desert contains 68 Korok Seeds within the Wasteland Tower region. Stone patterns, cacti or plant puzzles, statues with offerings and Koroks on remote rock formations are particularly common. A sand seal ride saves enormous time on the open sandy areas, and the Thunder Helmet makes thunderstorms less annoying as you make your way through the surrounding mountains.
Connects the search to Gerudo Town, Vah Naboris, the Yiga Hideout, the four Molduga and southern Ireland. This means you don’t have to cross the widely separated desert sections multiple times.
36 Koroks in the Gerudo Plateau
With 36 Korok Seeds, the Gerudo Tower region is one of the more sparsely populated sections. However, many Locations are located high up in the mountains, where two-stage cold protection and a large endurance bar are required. Individual stones on peaks and rocky outcrops can easily be overlooked here because the snowy landscape offers little orientation.
Anyone who completes Keeha Yoog, Kema Kosassa and the other shrines of the Gerudo Tower should take the Koroks of the respective mountain sections with them.
37 Koroks in Tabantha
The Tabanta Tower region has 37 Koroks. Many are located along the roads, by the large rock formations and around the Rito village. Revali’s Gale makes the search here much more pleasant, which is why we recommend freeing Vah Medoh first and only then systematically working through the last Koroks.
The Ancient Stone Pillars, Tabanta Bridge and the areas around the Rito Stable can also be combined with Shrines, Memories and other collection targets.
73 Koroks in Hebra
Hebra contains 73 Korok seeds and is one of the most time-consuming collecting regions due to snow, poor visibility and huge elevation differences. In addition to small stones and rock puzzles, numerous balloons, acorns and flower sequences are hidden in the white landscape. The Rito set protects you from the cold, while Revali’s Gale greatly shortens the numerous cliffs and ravines.
Our route through Tabantha and Hebra is already taking several Korok groups at the Snowland Stable, along major roads and in Northern Ireland.
35 Koroks at the Woodland Tower
The Tower of Woods region contains 35 Korok Seeds. Interestingly, the seeds are not hidden everywhere where one would expect them based on the name: the actual Great Forest of Hyrule or Korok Forest does not contain a normal collection of Korok seed puzzles. Instead, the 35 seeds are predominantly in the surrounding tower region.
Our page Woodland Tower, Deubran Ruins, Forgotten Temple – all shrines and 35 Koroks is therefore already suitable as a complete regional checklist.
45 Koroks in Eldin
The Eldin Tower region has 45 Korok Seeds. The immediate area of Death Mountain contains significantly fewer Korok puzzles than the region’s size would suggest; many seeds instead disperse to the southern and western outskirts. Because of the extreme temperatures, you need fire protection or the anti-fire set.
Connects the Koroks with the nine Eldin shrines, Goron City, the North Mine and the Igneo Talus of the region.
57 Koroks in Akkala
Akkala contains 57 Koroks and offers a comparatively pleasant search due to the open landscape. There are particularly many Locations on the high rock formations, on the coast and in Inner Akkala. Revali’s Gale is again very useful, while the Akkala Tower, the Institute and the numerous shrines provide good fast travel points.
The Great Lomei Labyrinth Island Labyrinth Island itself does not contain Korok Seeds. There you can therefore concentrate entirely on Tu Ka’loh, the Barbarian Mask and – with DLC – the Travel Medallion. Other important destinations in the region include Tarrey Town, Kilton and the Spring of Power.
80 Koroks at the Ridgeland Tower
The Tower of Hills region has 80 seeds, making it one of the most krog-rich map sections. Satori Mountain, Hyrule Mountains, Thunder Plateau, and the numerous lakes and rock formations offer virtually every puzzle type in the game. The Satori Mountain is particularly productive because you can combine the Korok search with collecting numerous ingredients and materials at the same time.
The Thunder Plateau itself should ideally be examined after completing the Toh Yahsa Shrine task, as the constant thunderstorm will no longer be such a major obstacle.
114 Koroks in Central Hyrule and Hyrule Castle
Central Hyrule is the largest Korok region. Overall you will find in the map section of the tower of the level 114 seeds, of which we assign 89 to the open plains and 25 to Hyrule Castle. Due to the many guards, we recommend working through this region systematically in the middle or late game. Mipha’s Grace, Revali’s Gale, the Antique Set and the Master Sword or our Master Sword route make the area much more pleasant.
Hyrule Castle should be treated as its own block. The 25 Koroks there are located on towers, walls, bridges, in buildings and even at the very top of the highest peak of the castle. If you are only missing a few seeds in the end, the castle is one of the first places that you should completely check again with maximum map zoom.
Areas without Korok seeds – you can save yourself the search here
Some large and conspicuous locations surprisingly do not contain regular Korok seeds. These include, among others, Eventide Island, the central Death Mountain, the Great Forest of Hyrule, the Deubran Ruins themselves and the three large Lomei Labyrinth Island labyrinths. Large parts of the Tabanta snowfield also have hardly any or no Korok puzzles. You’ll obviously need to visit these areas for shrines, bosses, armor, or other content, but if you’re just looking for Krogs, you can save a lot of time by focusing on the surrounding areas.
What do you get for every 900 Korok seeds?
Once you have found the last of the 900 Koroks, you return to Hestu in the Korok Forest. He gives Link the item “Hestu’ Seeds” as a special completion reward. This has no gameplay use and does not unlock a new weapon or an additional inventory expansion. It is simply a memento and proof that you have found all of the Korok puzzles Hyrule’s.
If you only want to get stronger, you can stop after 441 seeds with a clear conscience. However, if you want to bring the built-in map progress to 100.00%, you actually need all 900.
Why are the Koroks so important to 100%?
The percentage value on the world map only becomes visible after you have defeated Ganon at least once. Important: This is not a classic game completion value, but rather a card progress. In addition to the four Divine Beasts, the 120 shrines and the discovered map locations, all 900 Koroks count individually. Each Korok adds its own symbol to the map.
| For 100% map progress | number | share |
|---|---|---|
| Titans | 4 | 0,32 % |
| Shrines | 120 | 9,60 % |
| Korok seeds | 900 | 72,00 % |
| Map locations | 226 | 18,08 % |
| Total | 1,250 entries | 100,00 % |
This means that alone accounts for 72 percentage points of for the Koroks. This explains why a game with all Titans, all Shrines, and virtually all of the story can still be far from 100% after only a small portion of the 900 Korok Seeds have been collected.
Do Side Quests, Memories and the Hyrule Handbook count as 100%?
This content does not count towards the percentage value on the world map. The 76 Side Quests, 42 Shrine Quests, Memories, Armor, Weapons, Hyrule Handbook, Kilton’s Order and other collection objectives do not increase the card percentage. For our complete Breath of the Wild walkthrough, we still consider it as part of a truly completed game and do it separately.
So if you are not yet at 100.00% after the 900th Korok, you are not missing any quests or photos, but most likely one or more map locations. We cover this area in our separate 100% overview.
Find the last Koroks – our best strategy
You can find the first 500 to 700 Koroks relatively easily if you explore thoroughly. The last dozen seeds are really difficult because the game doesn’t show you any statistics per tower region. That’s why you should proceed systematically in the endgame at the latest.
- Divides Hyrule into tower regions. Complete one region before moving on to the next.
- Compares the regional setpoint with our table. This is how you know exactly when an area is completely finished.
- Uses maximum map zoom. Koroks that have already been found are marked on the map with a small leaf symbol.
- Wear the Korok Mask. It is particularly effective if you already know approximately which part of a region is still missing seeds.
- Use Stasis and Magnesis regularly. This means that hidden stones and metal objects are noticed much more quickly.
- Checks mountain peaks and bridges. There are a lot of easily overlooked individual stones, balloons and acorns.
- Controls Hyrule Castle separately. Its 25 seeds are quickly forgotten during a normal central Hyrule search.
- Uses the Hero’s Path. Large unvisited areas are excellent candidates for missing Koroks.
Why you should check off the Koroks you found on the map
The biggest problem with an unsystematic 900 Krogs search does not arise when finding something, but when comparing it later. If you get to 897 or 899 seeds at some point and no longer know which Locations have already been checked, in the worst case scenario you will have to compare several hundred map points again. Therefore, from around 500 seeds at the latest, start consistently completing regions completely and documenting your progress outside of the game or using our regional checklists.
The small Korok symbols on the in-game map will help you enormously. Zooms in fully and compares conspicuous groups of symbols with the respective regional location list. It often quickly turns out that it is not a single hidden stone that is missing, but rather, for example, an entire side path or an island that was never examined.
Commonly Overlooked Korok Hideouts
If you are only a few seeds short, first check places where Korok puzzles are unusually difficult to spot. These include individual stones at the top of mountain peaks, acorns under bridges, balloons in treetops, metal cubes on steep rock faces, sparks on high flagpoles, small caves behind brittle rocks and time trials with the starting stump far from the actual finish. Triple fruit trees are also easily overlooked because at first glance they seem like normal vegetation.
Koroks are particularly treacherous in places that you have already thoroughly visited during the story. A good candidate, for example, is the Shrine of Resurrection: Many players never return to the actual starting chamber after the tutorial and therefore miss a Korok that can be reached later.
Do you need DLC for all 900 Koroks?
No. All 900 Korok seeds are part of the base game and can be found without an expansion pass. DLC 1 only makes the search easier with the Korok mask and the hero’s path. The DLC Shrines from “The Champions’ Ballad” do not add additional Korok Seeds.
Are Korok seeds missable?
No. No Korok can be missed permanently. You can return to all locations at any time even after completing the main story. Even if certain Koroks on the Great Plateau are initially inaccessible, they will become accessible once you receive the Paraglider. Once a Korok Seed has been collected, it remains permanently registered and will not appear again even after a Blood Moon.
Can you sell krog seeds?
No. Korok Seeds are key items and cannot be sold, cooked, or otherwise consumed. Their only regular purpose is to give them Hestu for inventory expansions. Once the bags have been completely expanded, all additional seeds you collect will simply remain in the corresponding progress until you have finally found all 900.
Is it worth collecting all 900 Koroks?
From a gameplay perspective, you only need 441. After that, all purchasable inventory slots are unlocked and additional seeds neither make Link stronger nor increase his capacity. For a normal run, we would therefore not recommend that anyone compulsively collect all 900.
For a real 100% score things look different: The Koroks are by far the largest component of map progress at 72%. In addition, the search takes you to practically every corner Hyrule’s and ensures that you discover many ruins, mountains, bridges and hidden places that you never have to visit during the main story.
Korok seeds and the 100% walkthrough combine
The most efficient method is not to collect all 900 seeds in a single marathon after Ganon’s defeat. Our Breath of the Wild 100% walkthrough already takes Koroks with you during the natural journey through Hyrule. If a seed is directly between two shrines, next to a memory or on the way to a titan, we collect it immediately. Larger remote groups, on the other hand, are postponed until the respective tower region is fully explored later.
This saves significantly more time than a pure Korok round because you can also get shrines, map locations, Side Quests, Hinoxe, on the same path Stone Talus, Lynels, Great Fairies and valuable materials done.

All 900 Koroks found – what happens next?
If you have actually collected all 900 Korok seeds, the most time-consuming part of completing the map has been completed. Return to Hestu in the Korok Forest and get Hestu’ seeds as a memento. In addition, your weapon, bow and shield bags should have been fully expanded by now.
If your map display is still below 100.00%, you are almost certainly still missing map locations, shrines or one of the four Divine Beasts. Since Koroks already represents 72% of the map progress, the completion of the collection is an excellent time for the final 100% check. Then use our complete Breath of the Wild Walkthrough to tick off the final locations, Side Quests, shrine tasks, memories and other collection goals.
