It’s time we talked concerning the reality of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s Korok seeds: They’re poop.
This isn’t solely a revelation. The collect-a-thon seeds had been already closely implied to be the feces of these cute Koroks in different video games. The merchandise’s descriptions in each Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom reads, “This small seed was given to you by a Korok. It has a definite scent. Should you collect a bunch of them, you by no means know what could occur…”
In Tears of the Kingdom, Spirited Musician of Korok Forest Hestu asks you to carry these “seeds” to him so he can use them in his maracas, simply as he did in Breath of the Wild. In change, he’ll expand-a-band your stock for melee weapons, bows, and shields. If you’ll find him, that’s.
After you max out your stock and return all of the Korok seeds to Hestu, you’ll discover out what occurs if you get a bunch of little poops and put them collectively: You get one massive poop! Sure, that’s the “prize” you earn when you handle to gather all 900 seeds, a minimum of in Breath of the Wild. Thus far, I haven’t seen anybody get all of the seeds in Tears of the Kingdom.

The reward for finishing such an arduous job is a large troll. Firstly, you solely want about half of the full Korok seeds to max out your stock slots. However past being, actually, a pile of shit, the reward merchandise “Hetsu’s Present” doesn’t even do something. It’s not even a elaborate magic poop with forest fecal matter powers. It’s simply poop. The outline reads, “A present of friendship given to you by Hestu. It smells fairly unhealthy.” Not “distinct”, now the scent is “fairly unhealthy”. It additionally seems to be extra just like the poop emoji, which is smart since Hestu is greater than all the opposite little Koroks.
Should you assume I’m reaching by declaring the smelly reality of Korok seeds, the director of Breath of the Wild himself confirmed as a lot. Hidemaro Fujibayashi instructed IGN after the 2017 Recreation Awards that the staff “thought it could be humorous to make {that a} massive joke.”
“It’s simply the backstory, the sort of hidden sort of factor within the recreation the entire means is that the Korok seeds are literally Korok poop,” Fujibayashi continued.

Even earlier than this definitive proof, followers suspected that Hestu was having us all carry round and fetch him poop. Nonetheless, it appears the reality hasn’t reached everybody. In a really scientific ballot amongst Kotaku staffers taking part in Tears of the Kingdom, solely 25 p.c mentioned they had been conscious of the fecal reality. The remaining had been unaware, with 13 p.c merely answering “No” and nearly all of respondents justifiably responding with “Excuse me?”
I can’t stand for this. I have to educate the plenty on the reality about Korok seeds. Poop truthers unite. Simply, please be good to the Koroks anyway. Even when they’re handing you their poops.
