Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Korok Seeds Are Poop, By The Way

It’s clip we talked astir nan truth of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of nan Kingdom’s Korok seeds: They’re poop.

This isn’t wholly a revelation. The collect-a-thon seeds were already heavy implied to beryllium nan feces of those adorable Koroks successful different games. The item’s descriptions successful some Breath of nan Wild and Tears of nan Kingdom reads, “This mini seed was fixed to you by a Korok. It has a chopped smell. If you stitchery a bunch of them, you ne'er cognize what whitethorn happen…”

In Tears of nan Kingdom, Spirited Musician of Korok Forest Hestu asks you to bring these “seeds” to him truthful he tin usage them successful his maracas, conscionable arsenic he did successful Breath of nan Wild. In exchange, he’ll expand-a-band your inventory for melee weapons, bows, and shields. If you tin find him, that is.

After you max retired your inventory and return each nan Korok seeds to Hestu, you’ll find retired what happens erstwhile you get a bunch of small poops and put them together: You get 1 large poop! Yes, that’s nan “prize” you gain if you negociate to cod each 900 seeds, astatine slightest successful Breath of nan Wild. So far, I haven’t seen anyone get each nan seeds successful Tears of nan Kingdom.

The reward for completing specified an arduous task is simply a monolithic troll. Firstly, you only request astir half of nan full Korok seeds to max retired your inventory slots. But beyond being, literally, a heap of shit, nan reward point “Hetsu’s Gift” doesn’t moreover do anything. It’s not moreover a fancy magic poop pinch wood fecal matter powers. It’s conscionable poop. The explanation reads, “A gift of relationship fixed to you by Hestu. It smells beautiful bad.” No longer “distinct”, now nan smell is “pretty bad”. It besides looks much akin to nan poop emoji, which makes consciousness since Hestu is bigger than each nan different small Koroks.

If you deliberation I’m reaching by pointing retired nan smelly truth of Korok seeds, nan head of Breath of nan Wild himself confirmed arsenic much. Hidemaro Fujibayashi told IGN after nan 2017 Game Awards that nan squad “thought it would beryllium funny to make that a large joke.”

“It’s conscionable nan backstory, nan benignant of hidden benignant of point successful nan crippled nan full measurement is that nan Korok seeds are really Korok poop,” Fujibayashi continued.

Even earlier this definitive proof, fans suspected that Hestu was having america each transportation astir and fetch him poop. Still, it seems nan truth hasn’t reached everyone. In a very technological canvass among Kotaku staffers playing Tears of nan Kingdom, only 25 percent said they were alert of nan fecal fact. The remainder were unaware, pinch 13 percent simply answering “No” and nan mostly of respondents justifiably responding pinch “Excuse me?”

I will not guidelines for this. I must amended nan masses connected nan truth astir Korok seeds. Poop truthers unite. Just, please beryllium bully to nan Koroks anyway. Even if they are handing you their poops.
