Hestu's Maracas

are items in.

Location and Uses
Hestu's Maracas are Key Items belonging to Hestu. When Link first speaks to Hestu, he explains that a band of Bokoblins stole his Maracas from him, and pleads for Link to help him retrieve them. This initiates the Side Quest, "The Priceless Maracas".

Hestu's Maracas are hidden in a Treasure Chest behind a rock archway along the road south of Kakariko Village. In order to open the Chest, Link must slay the Bokoblins guarding it. Upon Link returning to Hestu with the Maracas, Hestu will recognize them and request that Link return them to him. However, Hestu realizes that the Korok Seeds inside his Maracas are missing, and begrudges the fact that without them he cannot help to expand Link's Inventory. Hestu reasons that the Korok Seeds must have been removed as a prank from his fellow Koroks and begs Link to retrieve his Seeds in return for expanding the Hylian Champion's Inventory.

There are a total of 900 Korok Seeds that Hestu needs to fill his Maracas, though Hestu can only use 441 of them to channel his Inventory-expansion powers through his Maracas. According to their description, Hestu has owned his Maracas since he was two years old.
