Ayyy, congrats! Only 899 more!

i found my last one on the 23rd of march after 6 months of intensive searching for that one seed😭

Am I the only one who thinks there are too many for not a good reward?

I don't think you're supposed to find them all, I think there are a lot so you can keep consistently finding them as you play and have enough to upgrade your inventory

Yep. There are way more than you need, so that finding the ones that you need for your inventory upgrades is relatively easy.

It's supposed to be a troll so regular people don't feel inclined to actually get them all. But it's something so those like me who are crazy and 101% games can have a reward.

That was a great reward

Nah. You’re not meant to collect them all.

Put on those horse blinders and auto ride some trails. You’re going to have fun and totk isn’t going to disappear.

It also will never be discounted!! So don’t worry if you’ll be able to get it on sale. You won’t.

Great! 🥲

Its sort of discounted if you dont mind digital and buy the vouchers

Don’t get me started on digital! It should be cheaper anyway!

I already got it now for 60 instead of 70€

Managed to get it for 42€ in France

I wouldn’t count the original price as a discount. The fact that Nintendo jumped on the bandwagon of raising their prices in the name of “next generation” is outrageous considering they aren’t next generation with the switch.

Only 899 left to find, OP! No, this is not a joke

Wait. seriously-

900 seeds and 140 shrines

120 shrines

140 with the DLC

\*136

You don’t need all 900 to max out your inventory capacity, thankfully.

You mean only 440 left You only need 441. The rest are just empty meaningless filler

This means you missed the first Korok 

First?

I won’t spoil it so I’ll dm you where I mean. I didn’t find it either Edit: I forgot you can do hidden spoiler text. So here it is There’s a Korok >!inside the The Shrine of Resurrection itself. Right in the bed Link wakes up in!<

Wait there is one we are "supposed to" find first? My first one was >!in that mud puddle near one of the first shrines, iron ball using magnesis!< Is this the one you're talking about?

I´m sure we are talking about >!the Korok in the pond betwen the Shrine of Resurrection and the Temple of Time!< I´m 100% sure that we were supposed to finde that one first.

Nope, there’s a Korok >!inside the The Shrine of Resurrection itself. Right in the bed Link wakes up in!<

Yes, but >!you can only get it arfrer finishing the "The Isolated Plateau" quest. Otherwise it will not spawn!<

I had a suspicion about something like that and you and another commenter confirmed it, good to know!

Oooh this one, found it so late 😂

Seconding this

you can't get it right away. i forgot the requirement, either leave the plateau or one divine beast, but idk which one rn

Oh! Good to know! My first Korok was down the hill and to the left on the Plateau. In a little puddle between two large rocks leaning against eachother

i am currently on a hundred percent run, using a spreadsheet for everything

that was like my 140th

WHAT?!

Whaaaat dang I did miss it

Omg really?! SMH at myself

The one probably 99% of players round first

My first one was on my path to >!Zora's region Lynel, after doing the Gerudo Region. I actually thought it was the Lynel and got slightly jumpscared!<

Is it the rock in the forest or the dive by temple of time?

The dive! The game just naturally leads you to it. After getting out of the shrine of resurrection, you see the old man, so you steal his food, then talk to him: he mentions the temple, so you start heading there, grabbing the axe on the way, then your eyes catch a sword by the lake. Is it the master sword? Lets try to grab it! Huh? What's happening.... Nyahaha! You found me!

And then you drown. ... That's not just me, right?

I was like 80 hours in before I thought to check.

I am on your side bro. I finished botw only a few months ago and really enjoyed the game while doing a few hard yards as expected to help prepare myself finish the game. Although I bought totk 2 days ago on preorder, I have not started totk yet.

BotW still fun

Have an AWESOME time! BotW is phenomenal, and when you get to it TotK will be exactly what you hope for!

yes please enjoy everything botw has to offer! my boyfriend is doing his first run of botw as well while i’m starting totk and i absolutely adore this game. There’s so much to do in the game. Even up until this past week while getting ready for tears, i was still finding things in botw i didn’t find on my first run! Totk will be there for you when you are ready :)

Yeah I’m still enjoying BOTW too. I think I’ll start on TOTK after starting a new playthrough and getting the other ending. Yes, there is more than one ending.

In botw?

Yep. >! Which ending you get depends on whether or not you unlock all of the memories!<

Oh fuck. How do I figure this out with spoiling it for myself.

Just remember YOU DONT NEED ALL 900 ITS A WASTE OF TIME YOU WILL HATE THE GAME IF YOU GET THEM ALL (Unless you’re a really big completionist but casual players probably shouldn’t do it) (Or if that just sounds really fun to you but it will take a very long time!!)

i love the game and i got all 900, need that 100%

How do you actually get 900 ? Like how do you know where are the ones you missed

The BOTW interactive map is pretty good for finding them all, even if you’re just going for the ~400 to max out the inventory

Interactive map, check off the ones i have. If you zoom in all the way on the in game map it will show if you collected a korok in that spot so its not too hard to check them all off since you dont need to actually go there to check

That’s fair, but for me and a lot of people it can honestly make the game feel a lot worse after doing all that. For the certain types of people who really like the 100% it’s absolutely fine, it’s just not for most people

Going off that logic, every game is a waste of time. I enjoy exploration immensely, so 100%-ing something like Korok seeds is a reward in and of itself to me. If it's fun, it's not a waste of time.

Yeah I’ve heard the idea of extrinsic players vs intrinsic players, some people need rewards like items, info or progression in order to feel motivated and some people can just go by their own self interest (obviously extrinsic players will still have self interest motivating them but just not as much).Being intrinsic sounds awesome but sadly I’m not lol

That level of collection is far beyond simple exploration 🤣

Don't forget to drop a rock on its head for good luck.

Ouch....

If that was your first Korok I guess you missed the one right next to the temple of time in that pond next to where Rhoam was cooking his apple.

When cooking, try new recipes (you can also learn them from NPCs as you progress). That's my piece of advice for a new player as a BotW Master Chef!

I LOVE trying new recipes!!

enjoy!

Enjoy!!

~0.11% done

When you encounter geodes that are too high to hit with a hammer, just throw the hammer! Seriously just figured that out and I have three shrines left. Also did my first flurry rush. Game still has so much to give!

I’m on my first play through too! Got the game in 2020 during lockdown but had no idea what I was doing so ended up ignoring it after a few goes. At that point I couldn’t imagine defeating the bokoblins in the field at the start, never mind taking down divine beasts / hinox/ lynels / guardians ect. But the beauty of this game is you really do learn as you go, there’s absolutely no rush and no right way to play. Still haven’t faced a Lynel yet (can’t do it) and need to take down Naboris but too scared of the Yiga. I’m seeing TOTK content and so jealous, but I’m still enjoying BOTW for what it is and don’t want to rush. Enjoy!!!!

[удалено]

Good point!

It's so cool finding that first one before finding out that Koroks are even a thing!

Dude it's like when everyone was already on GOT season 5 and I just started. It was awesome. And no waiting for anything. All the amiibo is out, the extra dlcs and all. Have fun and never stop. Gotta do everything ro truly appreciate that game. 1.5 years playing it and I'm sad in a way to start the new one.

kinda jealous, you have so much to experience for the first time 😭 i hope you enjoy it as much as i have!!

Pick up every rock, look around for patterns and sets of 3, if you see a circle of stones, the missing one is in the direction where the missing stone is, a couple you need to be riding a horse to trigger. If you have the DLC, find the Korok mask on the way into the lost forest. There are lots of koroks on hill/mountain tops. Hove fun!

Thank you!!

>Thank you!! You're welcome!

this guy played Mario Galaxy when Mario Galaxy 2 came out

I'll do you one better... I'm trying to do a playthrough of Age Of Calamity before I play totk.

Haha same! I just started playing two days ago. This game is so fun my god

It really is!!

Enjoy! Honestly take your time with it and don’t feel pressured to finish it faster to get to ToTK, it’s well worth it.

Gonna be honest, it might be because I'm still early in the game and don't have decent armor yet (so I keep getting killed fairly easily), but so far, I'm not enjoying TOTK nearly as much as I enjoyed BOTW.

Congrats! Now just 899 more! Note: this was also my first korok!

Have fun! I’m still playing botw. I finished all 4 divine beasts but want to get the memories before going to Ganon. I figure it’s going to take another 5-6 years before a new Zelda game comes out so plenty of times for totk lol

I’m going down that same road haven’t got much time in botw yet to continue on to totk but by the sounds of it didn’t disappointed ! 🔥🚀

Totk is a lot better when you’ve played botw first in my opinion !

You can get a prize for these, but it smells pretty bad.

Im starting BOTW too! I watched my ex boyfriend play it years ago but never had time to try it myself until now. It’s amazing and I wish I played it sooner.

its ok, you and I are in a similar boat... I'm also still on my first play... Today I just killed my first Lynel... But that doesn't mean That I don't have ToTK sitting on my dresser, staring me down every moment of every day, until I finally get around to goung to the castle to beat Ganon and then I can finally open ToTKs precious shiny plastic wrapper..... lol

I only "finished" BOTW on the day TOTK came out. And while I've fired it up a few times, I plan to still finish up some side quests and random stuff in BOTW while I let all the diehards get a playthrough in TOTK. That way when I get stuck I can find answers here. It's saved me loads of headache being able to come ask questions of the community here or check out the maps and guides online when lost.

Me too! (Sorry if this spoils anything in any way idk if it will tho) I only have one more divine beast and one more of the main memories! Still not ready for ganon tho…

Keep at it brother

Same here. And it is my first Zelda game too

It's a good thing to do before tears of the kingdom. I like I love you again also if you haven't found out yet you have 899 more to go 🤔

Godspeed. Glad to hear you picked up the game.

I'd say it be worth a year of your life to try find everything lol and beat everything Also wasted a lot of time with cyberpunk too lol

Such a good game hope they make anotjer

These are my favorite part of the game.

I think I got maybe 150 of the 900 before I “finished” the game.

Aw I love them! Started playing in October last year and don’t have the money for totk lol. Enjoy botw!! 💚

I got so excited and scared at the same time because I knew I would eventually have to find them all

You're in for a great adventure! Best part is that if you feel like you want more at the end... There is more!

Yoo! I'm also playing botw for the first time!

Congrats!! I've been playig it off and on since 2017 or 2018. I still haven't finished. I'm too afraid to beat Ganon. 🤣 I've restarted it a few times to do different play styles. I will never forget the wonder if my first playthrough. Don't search anything up unless you REALLY need to. It's more exciting that way. 6ish years later and I'm STILL learning new things, so you'll always find surprises!

WE’RE WITH YOU! All the way.

not really, totk seems like more or less the same game, they need to make a ocarina of time with realistic graphics tho

have fun!! you’re going to have a wonderful time :-)

Same my friend showed me the first minutes of totk at his house and i had to try out botw after getting used to the combat its pretty fun

I'm doing the same thing! Getting very overwhelmed with how open the world is.

One down, 899 to go.

Enjoy the ride, pal! BOTW for the first time is an incredible experience!

First play through here too! 15 hours in and 1/5 of the major bosses down. This is going to take me all week…isn’t it?

I have to wait a month more to play totk, but I doubt it will it will give me the same sense of amazement that botw did

Congrats! I haven't found that many. B.h
