What Are Korok Seeds?
Used to Increase Inventory Space
You can use the korok seeds that you have collected to increase inventory space. Talk to Hestu in the Korok Forest and choose to expand your weapon, bow, or shield inventory slots.
Note that you need to complete The Priceless Maracas side quest first in order to unlock Hestu and increase inventory space.

How Many Korok Seeds Are There?
There are 900 Korok Seeds
There are a total of 900 Korok Seeds that can be collected in Hyrule, but only 440 seeds are needed to fully upgrade your inventory.
Hestu's Gift is the Reward for Collecting All 900 Korok Seeds
By collecting all 900 Korok Seeds and talking with Hestu, he will reward you with Hestu's Gift, a golden piece of... his gratitude for your hard efforts.
Hestu's Gift does not serve any actual purpose other than as a collector's item, so you really only need it if you are set to 100% the game.

How to Find Korok Seeds
| Korok Puzzle Categories | ||
|---|---|---|
| Isolated Puzzles | Pinwheel Puzzles | Completion Puzzles |
| Sparkle Puzzles | Shooting Puzzles | Ring Puzzles |
| Flower Puzzles | Fruit Puzzles | Other Puzzles |
Korok seeds are found by completing puzzle or small challenges. These challenges tend to repeat themselves, so once you know what to look for, you should be able to see a Korok Seed puzzle any time you arrive in their location.
If you are wearing the Korok Mask, it will shake and mimic a korok sound when a korok is nearby.
Isolated Puzzles
An Isolated Puzzle is a Korok Seed Puzzle that is usually one isolated item already placed in the overworld that you must interact with. This includes rocks, hidden rocks, balloons, and acorns. These are the easiest puzzles to solve.
| Puzzle Types | Description |
|---|---|
| Lone rocks you must pick up. They are mostly found in unusual areas and are the most common type of puzzle. |
| Hidden Rock | A Hidden Rock that is hidden beneath or behind something movable or destructible, like a pile of leaves, a flat platform, or a wall of rocks. |
| One Balloon | One floating balloon that must be shot with an arrow, usually on top of trees or below bridges. |
| One Acorn | An acorn that you must shoot with an arrow, usually hidden inside tree trunks or hanging below bridges. |
Pinwheel Puzzles
Approaching a small Korok Pinwheel will reveal objects that you need to shoot down. These Pinwheel Puzzles can either make acorns or balloons appear.
| Puzzle Types | Description |
|---|---|
| Pinwheel Balloon | Balloons appear and you have to shoot them all. These balloons can either be moving, teleporting, or stationary. |
| Jumping Acorn | A jumping acorn or two appears and you must shoot them with an arrow. Use Stasis on it to make it easier to hit. |
Completion Puzzles
Completion Puzzles are the type of Korok Puzzles where you need to complete a pattern with a missing piece. This includes completing sets of metal blocks and rock patterns that you will encounter in the overworld.
| Puzzle Types | Description |
|---|---|
| Rock Pattern | Place one or more rocks in the gaps of rock patterns to complete them. Use Stasis to find extra rocks out of sight. |
| Two sets of blocks with a missing metal cube. Magnesis is needed to place the cube on the right location to match the sets of blocks. |
Sparkle Puzzles
When you need to uncover and examine korok sparkles, that is a Sparkle Puzzle. These puzzles can either be sparkles that move, appear at the top of tall structures, or frozen in ice.
| Puzzle Types | Description |
|---|---|
| Moving Sparkles | Moving sparkles that you need to chase and examine. |
| Peak Sparkles | Sparkles that appear at the very peal of tall structures where you have to climb to the very top, such as trees, flag poles, chimneys, pillars, and more. |
| Ice Sparkles | Sparkles hidden inside frozen blocks of ice that you need to melt with fire weapons or items. |
Shooting Puzzles
Shooting Puzzles require you to shoot rocks or balls into some kind of hole, be it a pit in the ground, a rock circle in water, a hollowed tree trunk, and more.
| Puzzle Types | Description |
|---|---|
| Rock Circle | Shoot a small rock into the middle of a rock circle in the water. |
| Rock Pit | Push a large rock and get it in a pit in the ground. You can use Stasis to launch a rock that is hard to push. |
| Chained Ball | Magnesis is needed to place a magnetic ball into a hole it is chained to. This can range from wells, hollowed tree trunks, and more. |
Ring Puzzles
You must touch or go through a ring in the overworld to solve Ring Puzzles. This type of Korok Seed Puzzle can either be done by gliding or running to a timed ring, or by plunging into a water ring.
| Puzzle Types | Description |
|---|---|
| To complete this puzzle, step on the tree stump and race towards the ring before time runs out. |
| Water Ring | Dive and land inside the ring on the water that looks like a circle of water lilies. |
Flower Puzzles
Flower Puzzles have something to do with korok flowers. They are usually yellow and can be found growing in unusual places where there are no other flowers.
| Puzzle Types | Description |
|---|---|
| Numbered Flowers | In an area with groups of flowers, touch the group with the smallest number of flowers to the one with the most flowers in that order. |
| Follow the Flowers | Follow a trail of yellow flowers that teleport away until you reach a white flower. |
Fruit Puzzles
Fruit Puzzles require you to interact with fruit in some way to complete the puzzle. You should watch out for prayer statues with empty offering bowls, and lines of trees or plants with fruits on them.
| Puzzle Types | Description |
|---|---|
| Fruit Offering | Place fruit on empty bowls in front of prayer statues. Apples are commonly used, but some may require other fruits like bananas or peppers. |
| Fruit Match | Remove the excess fruit of a tree to match the appearance of a line of trees. This can also apply to cacti in dessert areas. |
Other Puzzles
There are other Korok Puzzles that are unique and do not fall under any of the puzzle categories above. These are usually similar variations to more common Korok Puzzles, but can only be encountered once in a specific location in the overworld.
