Koroks are by far the most varied race in this game, with over 913 different Koroks overall. This includes the 900 hidden Koroks, the 13 NPCs, all of whom can be found in or around the Korok forest at some point, and other Koroks in the forest who hide when Link approaches; these last ones can't be interacted with and are purely cosmetic, but they show just how many exist. | Koroks are by far the most varied race in this game, with over 913 different Koroks overall.

It is stated that most people cannot see Koroks, which is why some are confused as to how Link can see them. It is implied though that Link is not the only one, as the [[Hateno Village|Hateno-born]] merchant [[Agus]] says he was spooked by a big tree ghost by [[Lake Siela]]; this is where the oversized Korok [[Hestu]] can originally be found, meaning that is likely what Agus saw. He didn't interact with the "tree ghost" though, meaning Link was the first; this caused Hestu to be taken aback when Link talks to him as he did not expect it. | It is stated that most people cannot see Koroks, which is why some are confused as to how Link can see them.

==={{TotK|-}}=== | |||
In {{TotK}}, Koroks can be found throughout [[Hyrule]], similarly as in {{BotW}}, and are located throughout the [[Surface]] and the [[Sky]]. Upon completing various, small puzzles, [[Link]] will receive a [[Korok Seed]] from them, which he can then bring to [[Hestu]], who can increase his [[Inventory]] space in exchange for the seeds. | |||
Some Koroks can be found traveling with another fellow Korok, but unable to move and struggling to keep up with them, requiring that Link use his various abilities in order to reunite the Korok with its partner, which will earn him two Korok Seeds. | |||

{{ | In {{HWAoC}}, Koroks are hidden in various locations in the Story Missions, just like in {{BotW}}. | ||
Koroks are hidden | They usually take the shape of a pinwheel, but can appear as [[Leaves with Fairy Dust]] and [[Race (Object)|Races]] as well. These can simply be interacted with using the Y button to reveal the Korok, which will then give a {{Term|HWAoC|Korok Seed}}. Balloons may also hide some Koroks, some of which cannot be hit with attacks normally and require the player to use {{Term|HWAoC|Stasis|link}} before popping the balloon. | ||
They usually take the shape of a pinwheel, | |||
{{Term|HWAoC|Hestu}} can summon Koroks as part of his attacks. These summoned Koroks will contribute to most of his attacks, including through use of {{Plural|HWAoC|Rune|link}}.{{Noncanon|End}} | |||
