560 zelda breath of the wild - chasing through windvane meadow

Dear Readers,

The next Korok Seed I got from Windvane Meadow was in the trees east of Exchange Ruins.

There I found a chaser sprout and chased it through some of the trees. I chased until I got another seed.

559 zelda breath of the wild - exchange ruins glowing sprite

Dear Readers,

I warped over to the shrine near Windvane Meadow and headed to the Exchange Ruins. On the way I was attacked by both the small and big Yigas. I whacked the small one and just ran away from the big one.

At the Exchange Ruins I caught a little glowing sprite for another Korok Seed.

558 zelda breath of the wild - little woods west of whistling hill

Dear Readers,

I headed further west from the last post and climbed the big mound. There was a circle of stones here but I already found the Korok here. I gave him a quick hello before heading into the woods north of here to find his friend and neighbour, who was flitting around as a bright white sprite.

557 zelda breath of the wild - big and little trees near whistling hill

Dear Readers,

I warped to the shrine near Whistling Hill and headed west. I came across a big tree surrounded by smaller trees. Up in the big tree was a stone with a Korok underneath.

556 zelda breath of the wild - west of gatepost town ruins

Dear Readers,

I warped to a shrine near Gatepost Town Ruins. West of the ruins there was a Korok just wandering around the rocks that I didn't find yet. It was a very early game Korok and all I had to do was examine it. I have hundreds of seeds but there are going to be little stragglers like these!

555 zelda breath of the wild - pinwheel at east post ruins

Dear Readers,

From the last post I headed north and found a pinwheel next to a stump. I looked around and saw some ruins with a tiny window where a couple of objects were being juggled. I didn't know what the objects were or what was juggling them and I didn't worry about it.

I shot two arrows, hit both targets and got another Korok seed.

554 zelda breath of the wild - atop the flagpole near proxim bridge

Dear Readers,

I continued north and east until I got to another early point in the game, Proxim Bridge. I waited for the rain to stop by standing in at the shrine nearby and then I started climbing that tall flagpole that was also nearby.

There was a Korok hiding at the very top of it. I found him for another Korok seed.

553 zelda breath of the wild - mound with cave north of lake hylia

Dear Readers,

From the waterfall in the last post I hiked back to the road that takes you north from Lake Hylia until I came to a big mound with a cave. Inside was a chuchu.

Also inside were bunches of flowers starting from 1 flower to 5 flowers. I went over them in ascending order and got another Korok seed. I don't know if I ever came across this type of puzzle before. The chimes are different at least.

552 zelda breath of the wild - hylia waterfall metal puzzle

Dear Readers,

Hylia River ends with a waterfall into Lake Hylia. On either side of this waterfall there are two parts of a metal block puzzle. I had to bring the block from one side to the other using Magnesis and Cryonis.

I pulled the crate up the waterfall first. After that I made Cryonis platforms in Hylia River. From there I was easily able to place the metal block to get the Korok seed.

551 zelda breath of the wild - deya village korok seed under stone

Dear Readers,

I made my way down to Deya Village ruins. When I was here before I found a Korok seed on the big island. This time I found another Korok seed in the hollow structure south of that island, under a stone. I beat up a Lizalfos while I was here too.

550 zelda breath of the wild - hollowed out tree near deya village ruins

Dear Readers,

From the last post I went southwest along the hilly terrain until I got to a huge hollowed out felled tree that looked like a tunnel. Inside was a chaser Korok puzzle. I had to chase a Korok sprout down through the passage until I got another Korok seed.

549 zelda breath of the wild - ball and chain in tree near hylia river

Dear Readers,

From the last post I hiked south through hilly terrain. I had to go uphill, a big dip downhill and another climb uphill until I came to a hollowed stump with a ball and chain coming out of it. I used Magnesis to put the ball inside for another Korok seed. 

548 zelda breath of the wild - a stone on the bank of hylia river

Dear Readers,

I hiked west across the Hills of Baumer towards Hylia River. I reached the beach where there was a metal puzzle I completed before. I said hi to the Korok there.

I was looking for his neighbour, who was hiding under a stone nearby. I uncovered him for another Korok seed.

547 zelda breath of the wild - matching apple trees west of dueling peaks

Dear Readers,

I continued west along the path after the last post and I got attacked by a big Yiga. He beat me up quite a bit and at the same time there were two Octoroks shooting at me. It's a very dangerous place for such an early place in the game.

Anyway I eventually beat up the Yiga and I hunted the annoying Octoroks until they died.

After that I hiked up the hill and came across three apple trees. I had to make the apple patterns on them match for a Korok seed.

After this I headed to the camp nearby to cook some food as I was actually low on health.

546 zelda breath of the wild - cute little cave west of dueling peaks

Dear Readers,

In the same little wood as in the previous post, there was a very obvious mound sticking out from the trees. There was a Korok here and I couldn't find exactly where it was. I was also trying not to alert the Bokoblin camp that was very close by.

The Korok was not on top of the mound so I went down and checked around the sides. I then spotted a tiny opening blocked by cracked rocks. I used a sledgehammer to break them because a bomb would've been too loud. I then found the cosiest little hollowed out interior where I found goodies, including another Korok under a stone.

What a cute little shelter! I would've loved finding this in the early game. I should've been more curious back then.

545 zelda breath of the wild - early game boulder and hole west of dueling peaks

Dear Readers,

I glided west from Dueling Peaks and down into the little wooded path I travelled on so many times in the early game. There were still secrets to find here.

This one wasn't a huge secret at all. It was just a hole and a boulder right next to it on the west edge of the little wood here. I simply had to give a little push and I got another Korok seed.

544 zelda breath of the wild - a stone on a ledge of the southern dueling peak

Dear Readers,

The next nearest Korok seed from my location in the last post that I had yet to find was at the Dueling Peaks, specifically the southern one.

I warped to the top of the mountain and parachuted down to check its cliff ledges. I found a stone on one of them and checked underneath to obtain another Korok seed. I also paused briefly to let a charging goat dash past me.

543 zelda breath of the wild - heavy slab in popla foothills

Dear Readers,

From the last post I hiked northwest a little bit, looking for any signs of Koroks.

I found a very obvious one, which was a heavy slab with a stone underneath it — a sure fire sign of a hidden Korok. I knocked it away with Stasis and got myself another seed.

542 zelda breath of the wild - crazy golfing in popla foothills

Dear Readers,

From the last puzzle I headed east up into the Popla Foothills. It was dark, it was murky, it was very hilly and hostile too. It's hard to navigate places like these. I'm glad I have maps and guides to find stuff.

The next Korok puzzle I did was like another crazy golf puzzle. I came across the hole and with Stasis I found three boulders that were some ways away. It was nighttime and I got attacked by Stalkoblins and regular Keese a few times. I guess this is meant to be an early-game part of Hyrule since the enemies weren't too much trouble.

Anyway, the golfing wasn't much trouble either, despite the distance. A couple of hits with Stasis and I was able to sink the boulder into the hole easily. Not a hole in one, mind you - I guess you could say it was a birdie or a par!

541 zelda breath of the wild - metal puzzle in grove near deya lake

Dear Readers,

From the last post I headed northwest towards Deya Lake. I went down into a tiny sheltered little grove where I found a metal puzzle. I moved quietly as I could hear an Octorok squeaking, a Keese flapping, and a Bokoblin grumbling. I found the metal block up in a tree and moved it easily with magnesis to finish the puzzle.

540 zelda breath of the wild - directly north of damel forest under rocks

Dear Readers,

From the last post, the next Korok seed I wanted to find was directly north. I kept trekking until my trek went uphill and through what looked like a v-shaped passage. On the right hand side of the passage was a pile of rocks I didn't notice until I turned around and spotted them. I blew them up with a bomb and found the Korok hiding under a stone that was revealed.

539 zelda breath of the wild - return to damel forest and succeeding!

Dear Readers,

I returned to the area with the boulders from two posts ago in Damel Forest. The boulder was back up on its pillar, which was nice! This time I took a different approach: I simply shot a bomb arrow at the boulder.

It fell. Then the Korok puzzle solved chime played and I got another seed, simple as that! Much better than trying to use Stasis and breaking weapons!

538 zelda breath of the wild - symmetrical metal puzzle around spring of courage

Dear Readers,

Around the Spring of Courage is a big structure. On one side of it I found a metal puzzle. I didn't see any metal block so I assumed it was on the opposite side of the structure. My assumption paid off when I saw it on the other side!

I took great care carrying the metal block from one side to the other so I could get the Korok seed. I didn't want to upset any enemies in the area, even though I'd say I'd be well able for them now. The structure was in ruins and footing was uneven, but I managed it well in the end with both Magnesis and bare handed carrying.

537 zelda breath of the wild - knocking the boulder too far in damel forest

Dear Readers,

East of the last post was a place called Damel Forest. I never explored here much because I was always nervous of the place after all the enemies I had to deal with on the way to the Spring of Courage during a much earlier stage in my adventures here.

In the northern part of this forest is a puzzle where it looks like I need to make four boulders symmetrical. However, I knocked the mismatching one too far down and couldn't get it back up on the platform I needed. It looks like I'll have to come back later when the puzzle resets.

In other news, I marked off a ton of Korok Seeds I had found before in nearby areas. The map I'm using is looking better and better!

536 zelda breath of the wild - matching trees east of lake hylia

Dear Readers,

From the last post I headed up the hill and hiked southeast towards a hill with three trees on it. It was nighttime and I had to deal with at least two sets of Stalkoblins annoying me.

When I got there I saw that it was a simple make the trees match puzzle. I picked the hearty durians I needed to make the trees the same and the Korok appeared.

535 zelda breath of the wild - boulder golf on east lake hylia bank

Dear Readers,

I swam north along the shore from the last post in east Lake Hylia. I did a Zora armour attack on an Octorok that was annoying me too. I continued along the shore until I spotted a boulder shaped hole on the embankment.

From there, I climbed up the hill and spotted three boulders that were ready to be rolled down into the hole. I pushed the middle one down the hill and didn't sink it straight away, but I got it close to the hole. It was night time so I smacked a Stalkoblin that was annoying me before going down to the boulder. It was right next to the hole so I just pushed it in and got another Korok seed.

534 zelda breath of the wild - shooting balloons in east lake hylia

Dear Readers,

I swam over to the east banks of Lake Hylia from the metal crate island from the previous post. I mostly ignored the Octoroks shooting at me along the way. I found a pinwheel on the shore that spawned a few balloons that were easy enough to hit for another Korok seed.

533 zelda breath of the wild - metal crate island in lake hylia

Dear Readers,

In east Lake Hylia I found a little island that was surrounded by metal crates in a square pattern. When I used Magnesis I saw that the pattern was incomplete and there was a stray crate nearby. I used Cryonis to reach it and Magnesis to place it in the square pattern for another Korok seed. I note that I wasn't able to move any of the other metal crates.

532 zelda breath of the wild - ring of flowers in east lake hylia

Dear Readers,

I glided out to the east side of Lake Hylia and found this ring of flowers in the water below. I simply put the paraglider away and dropped into the circle, obtaining another Korok seed. Lovely and easy! The ring is found at the tip of a spit of land jutting out from the edge of the lake.

531 zelda breath of the wild - north gate of hylia bridge

Dear Readers,

The last Korok seed of Hylia bridge for me was on top of the north gateway. All I had to do was light the torches up here. I had to wait for it to stop raining however so I had to stand there getting wet. I'm glad all the bridge ones are done now!
