Each Korok will gift Link one seed, which cumulatively can be exchanged with [[Hestu]] to increase his inventory capacity. There are 900 Korok Seeds in total, all hidden across the land. They often require unique puzzles to be solved in order to find the Korok bearing them, such as:

Upon collecting all 900 of the seeds, Link is advised to speak with Hestu in the [[Korok Forest]], where he will be given [[Hestu's Gift]], a trophy of sorts marking the accomplishment.
Completion of the inventory slots does '''not''' represent any reward. Upon collecting all 900 of the seeds, Link is advised to speak with Hestu in the [[Korok Forest]], where he will be given [[Hestu's Gift]], a trophy of sorts marking the accomplishment.

For the most part, this works the same as in Breath of the Wild. Note, though, that Link starts with one more weapon slot, and can upgrade to one more bow slot.

* Beyond the weapon slots provided by the Korok seeds, Link can keep an additional three of each weapon type once he fully upgrades the gear displays in his house at [[Hateno Village]] during the ''[[Hylian Homeowner]]'' quest. However, these weapons are not readily available while Link is out questing, as he has to travel to Hateno to retrieve them.

* On average, the weapon slots are the most expensive in terms of Korok Seeds with an average of ~20 per slot. It's followed by the shield slots (~10 per slot) and the bows slots (~9 per slot). However, this is inversely proportional with the slots available, as the bows have the least slots attainable, while the shields have the most.

* It's heavily implied that Korok Seeds are actually Korok droppings, as [[Hestu's Gift]] is pretty much a giant "seed" in the shape of a turd.
