When [[Link]] first encounters a [[Korok]], it believes it has been found by Hestu before realizing that Link is not Hestu.<ref>{{Cite|Yah-ha-ha! You found me! Huh? You're not Hestu!|Korok|BotW}}</ref> The Korok will then give Link a [[Korok Seed]], asking him to return it to Hestu.<ref name="Return Seed" />
When {{Term|BotW|Link|link}} first encounters a {{Term|BotW|Korok|link}}, it will believe that it has been found by {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} before realizing that it is mistaken.<ref>{{Cite|Yah-ha-ha! You found me! Huh? You're not Hestu!|Korok|BotW}}</ref> The {{Term|BotW|Korok}} will then give {{Term|BotW|Link}} a {{Term|BotW|Korok Seed|link}} ask him to return it to {{Term|BotW|Hestu}}.<ref name="Return Seed" /> From this point forward, {{Plural|BotW|Korok}} will continue to give {{Term|BotW|Link}} {{Plural|BotW|Korok Seed}} once he finds them.
 
Initially, {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} can be found on the road between {{Term|BotW|Kakariko Bridge|link}} and {{Term|BotW|Kakariko Village|link}}. {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} is surprised that {{Term|BotW|Link}} can see him,<ref>{{Cite|You! You can see me?!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> saying that the last time anyone was able to see him was 100 years ago.<ref>{{Cite|It's been 100 years since anyone has been able to see me!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> He introduces himself and asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} for assistance.<ref>{{Cite|I'm Hestu, and I need your help!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> He will tell Link that his {{Term|BotW|Hestu's Maracas|link|display=Maracas}} were stolen from him by a group of monsters.<ref>{{Cite|Those monsters over there stole my beloved {{Color|BotW Red|maracas}}!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} explains that he is powerless without them,<ref>{{Cite|I can't use my {{Color|BotW Blue|powers}} without them. Shoko...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> and so he asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} to retrieve them in his stead.<ref>{{Cite|So please! PLEASE get my {{Color|BotW Red|maracas}} back from them!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> This dialogue will trigger "{{Term|BotW|The Priceless Maracas|link}}" {{Term|BotW|Side Quest|link}}, in which {{Term|BotW|Link}} will have to retrieve {{Term|BotW|Hestu's Maracas}} from a {{Term|BotW|Treasure Chest|link}} in a nearby {{Term|BotW|Monster Stronghold|link}}. If spoken to again, {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} will ask if he completed the task and hopes the monsters have not been using them.<ref>{{Cite|Soooooooo... Did you get my {{Color|BotW Red|maracas}} back yet? They better not be shaking them.|Hestu|BotW}}</ref>
 
Once {{Term|BotW|Link}} retrieves {{Term|BotW|Hestu's Maracas}}, he is overcome with joy and asks for them back.<ref>{{Cite|SHALA-KALA! Those are... Those are my {{Color|BotW Red|maracas}}! Please giiiiiive them to meeeeeeeee!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> When {{Term|BotW|Link}} returns them, {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} can tell something is wrong and realizes that the {{Plural|BotW|Korok Seed}} inside them are gone.<ref>{{Cite|But wait! There's something wrong with my maracas! The {{Color|BotW Red|Korok seeds}} inside are gone! How am I supposed to dance now? Shoko...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} will then explain that if he had even one {{Term|BotW|Korok Seed}}, he would be able to sing, dance, and use his powers to expand {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Term|BotW|Inventory|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|If I had just {{Color|BotW Red|one Korok seed}}, I could sing, dance and use my {{Color|BotW Blue|powers}} to help you. You see, I have the power of {{Color|BotW Blue|inventory}} expansion! So let me know if you find some {{Color|BotW Red|Korok seeds}}!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} can upgrade {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Term|BotW|Weapon|link}} stash, {{Term|BotW|Bow|link}} stash, or {{Term|BotW|Shield|link}} stash. {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} states that the other {{Plural|BotW|Korok}} must have taken the {{Term|BotW|Korok Seed|display=Seeds}}, and he is surprised to find that he was the target of such a prank.<ref>{{Cite|The children of the forest must have taken the {{Color|BotW Red|Korok seeds}} from my beloved maracas. I never thought I would be the target of one of their pranks. Shoko...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref>
 
If {{Term|BotW|Link}} has {{Plural|BotW|Korok Seed}} with him, {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} will be able to smell them.<ref>{{Cite|*sniff* But wait... *sniff sniff* Do you have a {{Color|BotW Red|Korok seed}}?! You do! You got a {{Color|BotW Red|Korok seed}} from one of the forest children!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> For the first expansion of {{Term|BotW|Link}}'s {{Term|BotW|Inventory}}, {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} asks for a single {{Term|BotW|Korok Seed}}.<ref>{{Cite|If you'll give me just {{Color|BotW Red|one Korok seed}}, I'll make your {{Color|BotW Blue|inventory}} bigger in return! |Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Should {{Term|BotW|Link}} refuse, {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} will respond with a dejected sound.<ref>{{Cite|Shoko...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} agrees to the trade, {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} will ask which stash he would like to upgrade.<ref>{{Cite|SHALAKA! So which {{Color|BotW Blue|stash}} do you want more slots in?|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Every time {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} upgrades a stash, he will sing the tune that plays with it.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|♪Dah-na-na-na-naaaaaaaa!♪}}|Hestu|BotW}}</ref>
 
{{Term|BotW|Hestu}} will only allow {{Term|BotW|Link}} two upgrades before announcing that he needs to return to the {{Term|BotW|Korok Forest|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|Oh! Look at the time! I need to get back before {{Color|BotW Red|Grandpa}} yells at me. Shoko... Sorry, I have to go. But I still need Korok seeds, so bring some to {{Color|BotW Red|Korok Forest}} if you find any!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} thanks {{Term|BotW|Link}} for his help and promises to see him off before leaving.<ref>{{Cite|Thanks for bringing my maracas back! Once I see you off, I'm going back home to Korok Forest!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Before he leaves, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can talk to him to learn more about the {{Plural|BotW|Korok}}. If asked about the {{Term|BotW|Korok Forest}}, he will recite the directions he was told: follow the {{Term|BotW|Hylia River|link}} north.<ref>{{Cite|Korok Forest... It should be somewhere north of here. {{Color|BotW Red|Grandpa}} told me, "If you ever get lost, follow the {{Color|BotW Blue|Hylia River}} and continue north." That's what he said, and Grandpa is no liar.|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Asking about {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} himself will have him reintroduce himself and state that he is the most celebrated musician in the {{Term|BotW|Korok Forest}}.<ref>{{Cite|My name is {{Color|BotW Blue|Hestu}}! The most celebrated musician of Korok Forest! Shalaka lala!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Should {{Term|BotW|Link}} ask about {{Plural|BotW|Korok Seed}}, {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} will hesitate in his explanation before giving an excuse to not continue, saying his voice is blown out.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|BotW Blue|Korok seeds}}...come from the Korok children...and they're a...little bit... ... Sorry... I blew out my voice singing...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref>
 
{{Term|BotW|Hestu}} does travel north, but he becomes lost along the way. While {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} is lost, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can find him {{Term|BotW|Riverside Stable|link}}, {{Term|BotW|Wetland Stable|link}}, and {{Term|BotW|Woodland Stable|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|I'm trying to get back to Korok Forest, but I've lost my way...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> During these encounters, {{Term|BotW|Link}} can obtain four more stash upgrades before {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} remembers the way back.<ref>{{Cite|I... I think I remember how to get back to Korok Forest!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Maybe I'll head back now. I bet {{Color|BotW Red|Grandpa}} is waiting for me.|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> If {{Term|BotW|Link}} makes it into the {{Term|BotW|Korok Forest}} before getting these four upgrades, {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} will appear there straight away and will no longer appear at any {{Plural|BotW|Stable|link}}.


Upon finding Hestu, the Korok will be surprised that Link can see him,<ref>{{Cite|You! You can see me?!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> saying that the last time anyone was able to see him was 100 years ago.<ref>{{Cite|It's been 100 years since anyone has been able to see me!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Hestu introduces himself and asks Link for assistance.<ref>{{Cite|I'm Hestu, and I need your help!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> He will tell Link that his [[Hestu's Maracas|Maracas]] were stolen from him by a group of monsters.<ref>{{Cite|Those monsters over there stole my beloved {{Color|BotW Red|maracas}}!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Hestu explains that he is powerless without them,<ref>{{Cite|I can't use my {{Color|BotW Blue|powers}} without them. Shoko...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> and so asks Link to retrieve them in his stead.<ref>{{Cite|So please! PLEASE get my {{Color|BotW Red|maracas}} back from them!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> This dialogue will trigger the [[Side Quest]] "[[The Priceless Maracas]]", in which Link will have to retrieve his Maracas from a chest in a nearby {{Term|BotW|Monster Stronghold|link}}. If spoken to again, Hestu will ask if he completed the task and hopes the monsters have not been using them.<ref>{{Cite|Soooooooo... Did you get my {{Color|BotW Red|maracas}} back yet? They better not be shaking them.|Hestu|BotW}}</ref>
When {{Term|BotW|Link}} speaks to {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} in the {{Term|BotW|Korok Forest}}, he will be excited and reintroduce himself.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|♪Shalaka!♪}} It's you! We meet again! What's with the silent treatment? Don't you remember me? I'm the musician of Korok Forest, Hestu!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> He informs {{Term|BotW|Link}} that it is impressive he was able to make it through the {{Term|BotW|Lost Woods|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|I'm impressed you found your way through the Lost Woods and made it here...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> In {{Term|BotW|Korok Forest}}, {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} will offer {{Term|BotW|Link}} the maximum amount of {{Term|BotW|Inventory}} upgrades available.


Once Link returns his Maracas to him, Hestu is overcome with joy and asks for them back.<ref>{{Cite|SHALA-KALA! Those are... Those are my {{Color|BotW Red|maracas}}! Please giiiiiive them to meeeeeeeee!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Once Link returns them, Hestu can tell something is wrong and realizes that the [[Korok Seed]]s inside the Maracas are gone.<ref>{{Cite|But wait! There's something wrong with my maracas! The {{Color|BotW Red|Korok seeds}} inside are gone! How am I supposed to dance now? Shoko...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Hestu will then explain that if he had even one Korok Seed, he would be able to sing, dance and use his powers to expand Link's [[Inventory]].<ref>{{Cite|If I had just {{Color|BotW Red|one Korok seed}}, I could sing, dance and use my {{Color|BotW Blue|powers}} to help you. You see, I have the power of {{Color|BotW Blue|inventory}} expansion! So let me know if you find some {{Color|BotW Red|Korok seeds}}!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Hestu can upgrade Link's {{Term|BotW|Weapon|link}} Stash, [[Bow#Breath of the Wild|Bow]] Stash, or [[Shields in Breath of the Wild|Shield]] Stash. Hestu realizes that the other Koroks must have taken the Seeds and is surprised to find that he was the target of such a prank.<ref>{{Cite|The children of the forest must have taken the {{Color|BotW Red|Korok seeds}} from my beloved maracas. I never thought I would be the target of one of their pranks. Shoko...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref>
Once {{Term|BotW|Link}} has located all 900 {{Plural|BotW|Korok}} hidden throughout {{Term|BotW|Hyrule Kingdom|link}}, he will be instructed to share the news with {{Term|BotW|Hestu}}.<ref>{{Cite|You've found all of the hidden Koroks! You should tell Hestu the good news!|N/A|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} excitedly informs {{Term|BotW|Link}} that the {{Plural|BotW|Korok}} have all returned to {{Term|BotW|Korok Forest}}.<ref>{{Cite|{{Big|Hey! Guess what!}} All of the forest children returned to Korok Forest!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> He claims that {{Term|BotW|Link}} must have had a lot of people helping him search for the {{Plural|BotW|Korok}}.<ref>{{Cite|You must have had an army of people searching for them, huh?|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> When {{Term|BotW|Link}} instead explains that he found them all on his own, {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} will be impressed.<ref>{{Cite|[Nope, just me.] {{Big|NO WAY! Fwahahahaha!}} ♪NAAAAAAAAICE!♪|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Since {{Term|BotW|Link}} has already maximized his {{Term|BotW|Inventory}}, he will be given {{Term|BotW|Hestu's Gift|link}} as a reward.<ref>{{Cite|You've maxed all of your {{Color|BotW Blue|stashes}}! So let me give you this!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> {{Term|BotW|Hestu}} asks {{Term|BotW|Link}} if he likes his {{Term|BotW|Hestu's Gift|display=Gift}}.<ref>{{Cite|So? Do you like it?|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> He invites {{Term|BotW|Link}} to keep visiting him to watch his dances.<ref>{{Cite|I hope you'll still visit me. You can watch me dance whenever you want! ♪Shalaka!♪|Hestu|BotW}}</ref>


If Link has Korok seeds with him, Hestu can smell them out.<ref>{{Cite|*sniff* But wait... *sniff sniff* Do you have a {{Color|BotW Red|Korok seed}}?! You do! You got a {{Color|BotW Red|Korok seed}} from one of the forest children!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> For the first expansion of Link's inventory, Hestu asks for a single Korok Seed.<ref>{{Cite|If you'll give me just {{Color|BotW Red|one Korok seed}}, I'll make your {{Color|BotW Blue|inventory}} bigger in return! |Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Should Link refuse, Hestu will respond with a dejected sound.<ref>{{Cite|Shoko...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Once Link agrees to the trade, Hestu will ask which Stash he would like to upgrade.<ref>{{Cite|SHALAKA!

Hestu will only allow Link to upgrade two times before announcing that he needs to get back to Korok Forest.<ref>{{Cite|Oh! Look at the time! I need to get back before {{Color|BotW Red|Grandpa}} yells at me. Shoko... Sorry, I have to go. But I still need Korok seeds, so bring some to {{Color|BotW Red|Korok Forest}} if you find any!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Hestu will wait to thank Link and see him off,<ref>{{Cite|Thanks for bringing my maracas back! Once I see you off, I'm going back home to Korok Forest!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> but Link can talk to him to learn more about the Koroks. If asked about the Korok Forest, he will try to give directions based on what "Granpa" (the [[Great Deku Tree]]) told him: follow the [[Hylia River]] north.<ref>{{Cite|Korok Forest... It should be somewhere north of here. {{Color|BotW Red|Grandpa}} told me, "If you ever get lost, follow the {{Color|BotW Blue|Hylia River}} and continue north." That's what he said, and Grandpa is no liar.|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Asking about Hestu himself will have him reintroduce himself and state that he is the most celebrated musician in the Korok Forest.<ref>{{Cite|My name is {{Color|BotW Blue|Hestu}}! The most celebrated musician of Korok Forest! Shalaka lala!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Should Link ask about Korok Seeds, Hestu will hesitate in his explanation before giving an excuse to not continue, saying his voice is blown out.<ref>{{Cite|{{Color|BotW Blue|Korok seeds}}...come from the Korok children...and they're a...little bit... ... Sorry... I blew out my voice singing...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref>
==={{TotK|-}}===
Hestu reprises his role in {{TotK}}, offering {{Term|TotK|Inventory|link}} expansions in exchange for {{Plural|TotK|Korok Seed|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|If you give me a {{Color|TotK Red|Korok seed}}, I'll make your {{Color|TotK Red|inventory}} bigger!|Hestu|TotK}}</ref> His dance and vocalizations are altered, now including three {{Plural|TotK|Korok|link}} performing as backup dancers.  


Hestu does travel north, but gets a bit lost along the way. While Hestu is lost, Link can find him at one of three stables: facing [[Wahgo Katta Shrine]] north of [[Riverside Stable]], behind the [[Wetland Stable]], or in front of the [[Woodland Stable]].<ref>{{Cite|I'm trying to get back to Korok Forest, but I've lost my way...|Hestu|BotW}}</ref> Link can get 4 more stash upgrades (for 6 total) before Hestu remembers the way back and moves to the Korok forest, where he will remain for the rest for the game, trading more seeds for more stash upgrades.<ref>{{Cite|I... I think I remember how to get back to Korok Forest!|Hestu|BotW}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Maybe I'll head back now. I bet {{Color|BotW Red|Grandpa}} is waiting for me.|Hestu|BotW}}</ref>
Hestu can initially be found in between the road northeast of {{Term|TotK|New Serenne Stable|link}} and {{Term|TotK|Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower|link}} at the {{Term|TotK|Map Coordinates|link}} -1718, 1093, 209. After completing his {{Term|TotK|Side Adventure|link}} "{{Term|TotK|Hestu's Concerns|link}}" at this location or completing one part of the {{Term|TotK|Main Quest|link}} "{{Term|TotK|Regional Phenomena|link}}", he will move to {{Term|TotK|Lookout Landing|link}}. If {{Term|TotK|Link|link}} has defeated the {{Term|TotK|Phantom Ganon|link}} within the {{Term|TotK|Deku Tree Chasm|link}} and restored {{Term|TotK|Korok Forest|link}}, then Hestu will move to Korok Forest permanently, regardless of whether or not Link has progressed his Side Adventure or even met him yet. His Side Adventure can be started and/or completed in either Lookout Landing or Korok Forest if it is not completed in {{Term|TotK|Lindor's Brow|link}}. Link will only be able to receive two Inventory expansions from Hestu in Lindor's Brow, but there is no limit to the amount of Inventory expansions he can receive in Lookout Landing or Korok Forest.


If Link makes it into the [[Korok Forest]] before getting these first 6 upgrades, Hestu will move to the Korok Forest straight away, and will no longer be found at the stables.
After Link has turned in all 1,000 Korok Seeds to Hestu, he will reward Link with {{Term|TotK|Hestu's Gift|link}} and invite him to come and watch him dance anytime.<ref>{{Cite|Shaka?! You collected all the Korok seeds! Amazing! ♪Ama-sa-sing, I'ma gonna sing, amaza-zing! Super-super amazing!♪ You've maxed all of your stashes. So let me give you this, as thanks.|Hestu|TotK}}</ref><ref name="Dance">{{Cite|So? Do you like it? With that, you can—wait for it—watch me dance whenever you want! But that's not all! I can also share a classic dance with ya. So! You just come and find me whenever you wanna shaka-shaka!|Hestu|TotK}}</ref> Link can also ask Hestu to perform a "classic" dance, where he performs his dance cutscene from {{BotW}}.<ref name="Dance"/>

Hestu is a recurring character in The Legend of Zelda series.[6][7][8]

Biography

Breath of the Wild

When Link first encounters a Korok, it will believe that it has been found by Hestu before realizing that it is mistaken.[9] The Korok will then give Link a Korok Seed ask him to return it to Hestu.[4] From this point forward, Koroks will continue to give Link Korok Seeds once he finds them.

Initially, Hestu can be found on the road between Kakariko Bridge and Kakariko Village. Hestu is surprised that Link can see him,[10] saying that the last time anyone was able to see him was 100 years ago.[11] He introduces himself and asks Link for assistance.[12] He will tell Link that his Maracas were stolen from him by a group of monsters.[13] Hestu explains that he is powerless without them,[14] and so he asks Link to retrieve them in his stead.[15] This dialogue will trigger "The Priceless Maracas" Side Quest, in which Link will have to retrieve Hestu's Maracas from a Treasure Chest in a nearby Monster Stronghold. If spoken to again, Hestu will ask if he completed the task and hopes the monsters have not been using them.[16]

Once Link retrieves Hestu's Maracas, he is overcome with joy and asks for them back.[17] When Link returns them, Hestu can tell something is wrong and realizes that the Korok Seeds inside them are gone.[18] Hestu will then explain that if he had even one Korok Seed, he would be able to sing, dance, and use his powers to expand Link's Inventory.[19] Hestu can upgrade Link's Weapon stash, Bow stash, or Shield stash. Hestu states that the other Koroks must have taken the Seeds, and he is surprised to find that he was the target of such a prank.[20]

If Link has Korok Seeds with him, Hestu will be able to smell them.[21] For the first expansion of Link's Inventory, Hestu asks for a single Korok Seed.[22] Should Link refuse, Hestu will respond with a dejected sound.[23] If Link agrees to the trade, Hestu will ask which stash he would like to upgrade.[24] Every time Hestu upgrades a stash, he will sing the tune that plays with it.[25]

Hestu will only allow Link two upgrades before announcing that he needs to return to the Korok Forest.[26] Hestu thanks Link for his help and promises to see him off before leaving.[27] Before he leaves, Link can talk to him to learn more about the Koroks. If asked about the Korok Forest, he will recite the directions he was told: follow the Hylia River north.[28] Asking about Hestu himself will have him reintroduce himself and state that he is the most celebrated musician in the Korok Forest.[29] Should Link ask about Korok Seeds, Hestu will hesitate in his explanation before giving an excuse to not continue, saying his voice is blown out.[30]

Hestu does travel north, but he becomes lost along the way. While Hestu is lost, Link can find him Riverside Stable, Wetland Stable, and Woodland Stable.[31] During these encounters, Link can obtain four more stash upgrades before Hestu remembers the way back.[32][33] If Link makes it into the Korok Forest before getting these four upgrades, Hestu will appear there straight away and will no longer appear at any Stables.

When Link speaks to Hestu in the Korok Forest, he will be excited and reintroduce himself.[34] He informs Link that it is impressive he was able to make it through the Lost Woods.[35] In Korok Forest, Hestu will offer Link the maximum amount of Inventory upgrades available.

Once Link has located all 900 Koroks hidden throughout Hyrule Kingdom, he will be instructed to share the news with Hestu.[36] Hestu excitedly informs Link that the Koroks have all returned to Korok Forest.[37] He claims that Link must have had a lot of people helping him search for the Koroks.[38] When Link instead explains that he found them all on his own, Hestu will be impressed.[39] Since Link has already maximized his Inventory, he will be given Hestu's Gift as a reward.[40] Hestu asks Link if he likes his Gift.[41] He invites Link to keep visiting him to watch his dances.[42]

Tears of the Kingdom

Hestu reprises his role in Tears of the Kingdom, offering Inventory expansions in exchange for Korok Seeds.[43] His dance and vocalizations are altered, now including three Koroks performing as backup dancers.

Hestu can initially be found in between the road northeast of New Serenne Stable and Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower at the Map Coordinates -1718, 1093, 209. After completing his Side Adventure "Hestu's Concerns" at this location or completing one part of the Main Quest "Regional Phenomena", he will move to Lookout Landing. If Link has defeated the Phantom Ganon within the Deku Tree Chasm and restored Korok Forest, then Hestu will move to Korok Forest permanently, regardless of whether or not Link has progressed his Side Adventure or even met him yet. His Side Adventure can be started and/or completed in either Lookout Landing or Korok Forest if it is not completed in Lindor's Brow. Link will only be able to receive two Inventory expansions from Hestu in Lindor's Brow, but there is no limit to the amount of Inventory expansions he can receive in Lookout Landing or Korok Forest.

After Link has turned in all 1,000 Korok Seeds to Hestu, he will reward Link with Hestu's Gift and invite him to come and watch him dance anytime.[44][45] Link can also ask Hestu to perform a "classic" dance, where he performs his dance cutscene from Breath of the Wild.[45]

Other Appearances

He then becomes a playable character after it is revealed that a Malice swamp is blocking the way to Korok Forest. His main weapons consist of Maracas and Shaka Maracas.

Trivia

  • If Link talks to Hestu while wearing no Armor, Hestu will humorously react to Link's "nekkidness" before gleefully celebrating that he and Link are naked together.[46] Due to Hestu's mirth, Link will be unable to receive any upgrades until he puts some Armor on.[47]
