when i see people talking about replaying botw & they think to themselves “i wonder if i should get all the korok seeds? i didnt do that last time”
if youre unaware there are exactly 900 of these little tree boys. here’s what it looks like on the interactive map;
now imagine you’ve already played through the game a bit & got some random koroks here and there. say you got like 200 or so already. you’d have to go through and cross reference with the in-game map and this map to figure out which ones you have and haven’t gotten, which could take quite a while if you’re checking carefully. and if you don’t check carefully there’s a strong possibility of ending up with a few missing ones once you get close to 900 and you have no idea which ones you missed. i actually ran into that issue myself and i had to bring in a 3rd map to check more carefully and cross off by hand which ones i had gotten already.
what do you get for getting all 900?
an unusable key item that doesn’t unlock anything. it’s just there to say you did it. and that’s not the only ridiculous side quest that gives you an item like that as well. so for an average player, it’s really not worth it. but you’re not given any indication of if it is or not, so either you’re a completionist like me and don’t care or you’ve just wasted hundreds of hours of your life on this
so yeah, it’s no small task. you’re probably better off just at least upgrading your inventory to maximum slots
