The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom fans are already panicking over Korok Seeds returning.

Now, it's important to note we already know Koroks themselves are returning in Tears of the Kingdom (we previously saw one with a gigantic backpack in a trailer). But a suspicious Korok Seed circle from a recent trailer has had them very worried we're in for another extensive treasure hunt all over again.

At the 17 minute and 50 second mark in the preview just below, we can see Link uncover a Korok hiding in the wild, who grants him a seed despite the fact that he isn't the beloved Hestu. This means that, yes, the Korok Seeds are very much back in Tears of the Kingdom for another bout.
