Great Deku Tree (Surrogate Grandfather)

Hestu is a character in Breath of the Wild, an oversized Korok who calls the Great Deku Tree "grandpa".[2]

Appearances

Breath of the Wild

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. 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.[3] This is presumably because Hestu resembles a small tree and likely fits the surroundings around him. However, unbeknownst to him, Agus appears to have seen him, though Hestu spooked him so he did not engage.[4][5]

The Priceless Maracas

Main article: 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.[6] This will begin the optional Side Quest titled The Priceless Maracas.

Up ahead on the path, just off to the right, Link will find a trio of Blue Bokoblins. After defeating them, Link can open the Treasure Chest to recover Hestu's Maracas. After collecting them, Link can return them to Hestu, who is delighted to have them back, but quickly realizes that the Korok Seeds inside them are missing. He tasks Link with retrieving the Korok seeds and in return, can use his power of inventory expansion to help Link.[7][8]

When Link collects a Korok seed by finding one of the 900 Koroks in the Overworld, he can return to Hestu and give it to him. In return, Hestu will offer to expand Link's inventory space.[9] 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.

Locations

If Link goes to the Korok Forest before ever talking to Hestu, he won't be found there.

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.[10]

However, on his way back to Korok Forest, Hestu gets lost and will appear at Riverside Stable, Wetland Stable, and Woodland Stable. Link will need to find Hestu and after upgrading five more slots, Hestu will finally make his way back to the Korok Forest. If the player goes to the Korok Forest before speaking to Hestu and obtaining the inventory upgrades, the mound where he stands at the Korok Forest will be empty.

If Link goes to the Korok Forest directly without stopping at any of the aforementioned stables, Hestu will already have made his way to the forest[HT 1].

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.
