Hestu: Difference between revisions

'''Hestu''' is a character in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|Breath of the Wild]]'' and is the grandson of the [[Great Deku Tree]].{{Ref|''I need to get back before Grandpa yells at me. Shoko...'' - '''Hestu'''}}

Hestu is an oversized [[Korok]] who can initially be found along the path, north of the [[Dueling Peaks Stable]] and [[Kakariko Bridge]], leading to [[Kakariko Village (Breath of the Wild)|Kakariko Village]]. When Link first meets Hestu along the road, Hestu is shocked that Link can actually see him, stating that nobody has been able to see him for 100 years.{{Ref|''Shalaka?! You! You can see me?!'' - '''Hestu'''}} This is presumably because Hestu resembles a small tree and likely fits the surroundings around him.

{{main|The Priceless Maracas}}

Hestu has a hidden power, but is unable to use it without his Maracas. The maracas had been stolen by some [[Bokoblin]] just up the road and Hestu tasks Link with retrieving them.{{Ref|''It's been 100 years since anyone has been able to see me! I'm Hestu, and I need your help! Those monsters over there stole my beloved maracas! I think they're still there on the other side of those rocks. I can't use my powers without them. Shoko... So please! PLEASE get my maracas back from them!'' - '''Hestu'''}} This will begin the optional [[Side Quest]] titled [[The Priceless Maracas]].

When Link collects a Korok seed by finding one of the 900 [[Korok]]s in the Overworld, he can return to Hestu and give it to him. In return, Hestu will offer to expand Link inventory.{{Ref|''The children of the forest must have taken the Korok seeds from my beloved maracas. I never thought I'd be the target of one of their pranks. Shoko... *sniff* But wait... *sniff sniff* Do you have a Korok seed?! You do! You got a Korok seed from one of the forest children! If you'll give me just one Korok seed, I'll make your inventory bigger in return!'' - '''Hestu'''}} Link can upgrade the amount of weapons, shields, or bows, that he can carry. Initially it costs just a single Korok seed to upgrade a spot, but it progresses from there, with Link needing more Koroks for later upgrades. All together, Link will need to find 441 Koroks to fully upgrade all of his inventory slots, although there are 900 of them in the Overworld.

Initially, Hestu can be found on the road leading to Kakariko Village. However, after Link upgrades two slots in his inventory, Hestu will note that the time is late.{{Ref|''Oh! Look at the time! I need to get back before Grandpa yells at me. Shoko... Sorry, I have to go. But I still need Korok seeds, so bring some to Korok Forest if you find any!'' - '''Hestu'''}}

Hestu can be found at the center of Korok Forest, near the [[Great Deku Tree]], where he will remain for the duration of the game. When Link has collected all 900 Korok seeds, Hestu will present him with [[Hestu's Gift]].
