Here's a quick guide on how to find all Korok Seeds in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Finding all 900 Korok Seeds in Breath of the Wild is a massive job. They're spread all across Hyrule, and most of them are hidden through little puzzles or in places that are easy to walk past.
Look for Anything Unusual
If something looks out of place, check it. Keep an eye out for strange rock formations, trees that look different from the ones around them, gaps in patterns, and other things that seem a little off. A lot of Koroks are hiding behind simple things that you might normally ignore.
If you see a rock sitting somewhere that doesn't make sense, pick it up. You might find a Korok hiding underneath it.
Check Trees and Rock Formations
Some Koroks are hiding in pretty obvious spots once you know what to look for. Look for rocks arranged in circles or other patterns, as well as groups of trees that have something unusual about them. Sometimes you'll need to move a rock or another object into the right spot to complete the pattern.
It's also worth checking the tops of trees and other high places when you're exploring.
Follow Anything Suspicious
Not every Korok puzzle has you standing in one place. If you see moving leaves, sparkles, or something that looks like it's trying to get your attention, follow it. Some Koroks will have you chasing after them or reaching a specific spot before they appear.
These are easy to miss if you're rushing through an area, so take a second to investigate when something catches your eye.
Use Your Runes
Your Sheikah Slate can help with some of the trickier puzzles. Magnesis, Stasis, bombs, and your bow can all come in handy. You might need to move an object, hit a target, or knock something into place before the Korok appears.
If an object looks like it was deliberately placed somewhere, try messing around with it before moving on.
Give Your Seeds to Hestu
Those Seeds aren't just collectibles. Take them to Hestu to increase your weapon, bow, and shield inventory slots. You don't need anywhere near all 900 to max out your inventory, so there's no reason to worry about collecting every single one right away.
Just hand them over whenever you have enough and keep exploring.
Use a Map for the Final Stretch
The last few Koroks can be a real pain to track down. If you're going for all 900, an interactive map can save you a lot of time. Mark the ones you've already collected and work through one area at a time instead of wandering around Hyrule hoping to find the missing ones.
If you have The Master Trials DLC, the Korok Mask can also shake when you're near an undiscovered Korok.
Take your time, investigate anything that looks weird, and keep track of the Seeds you've already found.
