Zelda: BOTW's Final Korok Seed Reward Is More Thoughtful Than Useless
The large open world of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is covered in Koroks and Korok Seeds, collectibles for completing puzzles and getting into hard-to-reach places like mountaintops, though many players may wonder how many Korok seeds there are to collect — and what happens if you collect all of them. The final tally turns out to be huge, and giving Korok Seeds to the large, maraca shaking, dancing Korok named Hestu will reward the player with more slots to carry various items like swords, shields, and bows, which is of vital importance to any player.
