The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – How to Find Hestu

In Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for players to have an extended inventory, they will have to find a character named Hetsu. Hetsu will help players upgrade their inventory and complete one of the side quests named Hetsu’s Side Adventure. A Korok can be found hidden in a variety of places, such as behind rocks, or through sparkling leaf trails, or they may beg you to assist transport them to a friend. You may likely have encountered one as early as the Great Sky Island. You will receive a Korok Seed for finding or assisting each one. Once you’ve gathered a few, you’ll need to locate a recipient for them.

Wherever Korok Seeds are found, a large, aging tree fairy by the name of Hestu requires those to fill his magical maracas. Fortunately, he is once more placed not too far from where your quest will start on Hyrule’s surface.

Players will almost certainly be directed towards Rito Village after the Hyrule Ridge to the northwest once players are instructed to study phenomena that occur in the four corners of the land. They may reach New Serenne Stable, a significant place in the Hyrule Ridge, and the distant Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower by traveling the primary route west from Lookout Landing. You should be able to see the large Korok being threatened by a pair of irate trees by making your way up the hill from the stable to the tower.

When you defeat them, you’ll be able to start exchanging Korok Seeds for more weapons, bows, and shields. Which is crucial in Tears of the Kingdom as it was in the first game.

But just like last time, you can only feed him a few Korok Seeds before he disappears. Fortunately, his next appearance won’t be too far off. Hestu discusses traveling to the East, where there are many people. When you get back to the main base in Central Hyrule, you can locate him off to the side by a huge tree on the southeast corner of the fort, right past the merchant stall. Picking up where you left off, you can increase your inventory by exchanging several additional Korok Seeds that you locate. Just bear in mind that while he will initially just require 1, 2, and 3 seeds to continue extending each portion. The requirement will start to rise dramatically with time.

Hestu will remain at Overlook Landing for a considerable amount of time and doesn’t appear ready to go until you’ve successfully entered the Korok Forest. It also appears that he won’t appear before that point.

This is every location Hetsu players can use to their advantage. And if you have not, now is a very good time to hop in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
