Why collect Korok Seeds?
At first, collecting all 900 Korok Seeds may seem like a pointless task. However, after some time, it becomes clear that it is actually the perfect way to enjoy The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Unlike the main quest and boss battles, collecting the seeds is a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
Preparing for the Korok Seed Hunt
To tackle this special challenge, Link will need some important tools and items such as Revali's Gale, the Master Cycle Zero (Link's motorcycle), a Korok Mask, and the Travel Medallion. An online map that saves and tracks progress is also helpful.
The different types of Korok Seeds
Collecting Korok Seeds in Breath of the Wild presents various challenges. Some seeds require a high level of tinkering with the sandbox elements of the game, while others are relatively easy to find. However, the majority of the Korok Seed hunt involves leisurely wandering and enjoying the scenery.
Discovering the beauty of Hyrule
Collecting Korok Seeds allows players to better appreciate the beautiful landscape of Hyrule. The developers have named every peak, valley, stream, and meadow, showcasing an impressive level of detail.
Time investment and reward
It is important to note that collecting all 900 seeds is a very time-consuming task. However, playing without time pressure can make it a very relaxing experience. The reward for collecting all the seeds may seem absurd – a golden "poop" – but that is precisely what makes the seed hunt so enjoyable.
Conclusion: Breath of the Wild as a walking simulator
Collecting Korok Seeds in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild transforms the game into a relaxing and fascinating walk through Hyrule. It is about collecting for the sake of collecting and exploring the beautiful game world. This makes Breath of the Wild the most impressive walking simulator by Nintendo to date.
