'''MinorLandmarks''' are visible ONLY at the fourth zoom level (all the way zoomed in). MinorLandmarks are (so far at least) always additional locations for the names of bigger Landmarks that cover a large area (mountains, slopes, rivers, and lakes are prime examples.) The fourth zoom level is also the only zoom level Korok Seeds are visible at, in-game. | '''MinorLandmarks''' are visible ONLY at the fourth zoom level (all the way zoomed in).

All 900 Korok Seeds have already been added, however many still need pictures and descriptions. Even if you don't want to upload pictures (it's a lot of work after all), adding instructions for seeds that don't have them is still helpful! However, first please review the following guidelines: | |||
''''Before' pictures are better than 'after' pictures.''' And to an extent, day pictures are better than night pictures, although feel free to submit any picture you have and someone else might put a better one in later. The order of preference is: | |||
* Day 'before' picture | |||
''''Before' pictures are better than 'after' pictures.''' And to an extent, day pictures are better than night pictures, although feel free to submit | * Night 'before' picture | ||
*Day 'before' picture | * Day 'after' picture | ||
*Night 'before' picture | * Night 'after' picture | ||
*Day 'after' picture | |||
*Night 'after' picture | |||
However, any picture is better than no picture at all, although of course once again submitting pictures is optional. | However, any picture is better than no picture at all, although of course once again submitting pictures is optional. | ||

* PNG's are strongly preferred to jpegs, but if you have to do it as a jpeg (such as when uploading directly from the game console) that's okay. | |||
* Don't include any on-screen UI in the picture (such as hearts, divine beast icons, or minimap). It's okay to include context actions like 'pick up', and a stamina wheel is okay but not preferred. Crop the picture as necessary to remove UI. Pictures with UI in them should be replaced by the next person able to take a screenshot without UI. | |||
'''Match the icon's location as close as possible to the in-game icon's location.''' Some Korok Seeds' puzzles begin far away from where the icon ultimately gets added to the map. In this case, the picture and instructions will need to be ''extra-clear'' in order to help solve the puzzle for that seed. | '''Match the icon's location as close as possible to the in-game icon's location.''' If you see a seed that doesn't match the in-game location ''exactly'', please report the seed ID so it can be corrected. '''Note:''' Some Korok Seeds' puzzles begin far away from where the icon ultimately gets added to the map. In this case, the picture and instructions will need to be ''extra-clear'' in order to help solve the puzzle for that seed. Give directions from the seed's location on the map, for example: "The seed platform for this race starts on the peak to the northwest." | ||
'''Only one picture per seed.''' When the start location is some distance away, try to include both the start and end locations in the same picture. When necessary to make things clear, outline things in red boxes or draw red arrows. If you're not able to get both start and end locations, focus on the start location instead. The goal here is to use only one picture to be as helpful as possible in finding and solving the seed. Figure out what ''one'' picture would help you the most in finding and solving this seed, and make that your picture. | '''Only one picture per seed.''' When the start location is some distance away, try to include both the start and end locations in the same picture (for example, stand on the seed platform and face the ring). When necessary to make things clear, outline things in red boxes or draw red arrows; avoid this when not necessary. If you're not able to get both start and end locations, focus on the start location instead and be extra descriptive in how to find it in your text description.

'''Do not | '''Do not move seeds to a different page or duplicate them on another page''' (for instance, taking a tower/region and listing all the seeds in that entire region). This breaks the code we're using to link the map with the wiki. Seeds should ONLY be listed on one page: the page for the landmark it is closest to, and nowhere else. Note that this is closest to the in-game landmark labels and not the actual physical landmark themselves (example: Hylia Bridge has lots of seeds that are mapped to Hylia Lake because those words are closer than the bridge's words are.) | ||
'''How to add pictures and descriptions:''' Click the 'Korok Seed' link on the map to be taken to the page for the landmark the seed is assigned to. Then use the following template in the 'Nearby Korok Seeds' section of the page: | '''How to add pictures and descriptions:''' Click the 'Korok Seed' link on the map to be taken to the page for the landmark the seed is assigned to (and note the seed id in the URL when you get there).
