    To add on to the other explanations, and explain what, for some reason, no one seems willing to admit, torturing koroks is the number one game activity. The atrocities committed to these poor little golden-poop delivering seedlings is, frankly, appalling, and also great fun. YouTube korok torture for hours of mind-boggling horrors that really make you wonder if the human race is worth saving.

      It’s a downward spiral.

      First you play Breath of the Wild and you unintentionally drop the rock on an early one, make it “oof” in pain and making you a bit guilty. Then you meet Hestu, you see a few dozens more of the crafty little bastards, and you start enjoying dropping stuff on them.

      And then Tears of the Kingdom happens, you’ve seen literal hundreds of them by now, and now you’ve got an infinity of new ways to make them scream in terror.

      You’re going to hell, and it’s totally worth it.

        I drop the rock on their head intentionally because dammit, I’m trying to save the world. Quit making me go through the bullshit to get seeds; do something to help me already. Knock it off!

        Otherwise I don’t do anything negative to them or enjoy torturing them. I am at a point where I just skip the lazy “find my friend” guys, though, unless they’re on my way and close.

          I would skip them pretty much every time, but you get two seeds instead of just one for their little task. Some of them are fun but others are tedious af.
