Who Buys Korok Seeds?

In The Legend of Zelda: BotW and Tears of the Kingdom, Korok seeds are a valuable resource, and many players are confused about who buys them. Who is the mysterious buyer collecting these seeds, and what do they do with them?

The Mysterious Player

In a Reddit r/ Zelda community post [1], a user stated that they found every korok in BotW. After bringing the seeds to Hestu, another user mentioned that they still had 200 seeds or more left over. We can assume that the demand for Korok seeds did not decrease with the additional seeds found. This only adds to the mystery question: Who buys Korek seeds?

(Hestu’s Background)

Before we understand who buys Korok Seeds, let’s look deeper into Hestu ‘s background. Hestu is a Korok who lives in the Korok Forest. He is seen as a collector of secrets and is the one receiving the Korok Seeds. Why does he collect them? What does he do once he receives them? [2]

(Kokiri’s Connection)

In BotW, link can interact with the characters in the Kokiri area. Kokiri are wood elf-like creatures who work for Hestu.
They help to plant sprouts, and their location is closely tied to trees. Kokiri’s function is to spread the saplings to new areas helping to expand the Korok Forest. Koro Seeds are used and collected by the Kokiries for planting new vegetation. This makes it challenging to find the seeds, as they are spread across. [3]

(Mysterious Player)

Going back to the Reddit claim, we have a Mysterious Player collecting Korok Seeds. What is to be done with these massive amounts of seeds? To answer this question, in BotW, there 900 Korok Seeds exist. This implies that multiple players must be collecting an enormous number of seeds by now.

(Question)

In Botw, the player can give all 900 Korok Seeds to Hestu. The outcome is as follows:

• Inventory space increased
• You receive a unique item like Hestu’s Gift
• The Seeding the Future quest to be completed

(Is there an easier way for finding Korok Seeds )

For players who aim to find all 400 Korok Seeds in each game, the process demands patience and a lot knowledge. There are a
few methods for finding koro seeds, including "I need to meet his friend" puzzles, hunting for disappearing flowers, verifying all random rock patterns across Hyrule, and a few more tips.

Conclusion

Korok Seeds are a valuable resource in The Legend of Zelda for BotW and Tears Of The Kingdom. They make it easier for players (like Hestu.) to grow more plants so that they can spread forest. Many players have come together to help the
Korok Forest but there are a few hints that we should look away from Hestu with the Korok Seeds it seems that we are given a little gift and are able to help Hestro grow the Korok Plants.
