Hestu locations in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - where is the Korok king?

radiotimes.com:

Just like its 2017 predecessor, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom places a large emphasis on inventory. Whether you're making space for weapons, collecting items, or farming rupees, your inventory is a sacred place. The bigger it is, the better.

So, how can we increase its size? If you're a veteran of Breath of the Wild, you'll know the answer. If you collect enough Korok seeds, the friendly Hestu will happily unlock new slots in your inventory. These extra slots will prove invaluable, so where can we find Hestu?

Unfortunately, he's even more difficult to find this time – especially with the sky and underground maps. If you're struggling, we're here to help.

Before we begin, be sure to check out the video from YouTuber Austin John Plays below. It's a great guide, especially if you're a visual learner!

Hestu appears in three places on the Hyrule map, so we'll share each one in order below! For us, it was Location Two where we first spotted him.

The first time you can encounter Hestu is on the road that leads to Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower. Bear in mind that he won't appear here if you've already (luckily) stumbled upon him on your travels, or if you've already completed the Lost Woods quest that features Hestu.

Otherwise, you'll find him weeping on a hillside just off the road. Talk to him to trigger the Hestu's Concerns side adventures. Beat the evil trees, and he'll give you a slot in exchange for a Korok Seed.
