In Zelda Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK), Hestu is the character who you can trade Korok Seeds to in order to increase your inventory size. This makes him a particularly important character in the game and one you will want to visit regularly. Hestu’s location differs depending on your story progress. He looks like a tree. This guide explains all places where to find Hestu.
Talk to him and pick which inventory size you want to increase: Melee Weapon, Shield, or Bow. Each upgrade adds one inventory slot to the chosen category. With each upgrade the cost goes up.
Hestu isn’t missable, you can talk to him at any time during and after the story. He also gives you a Side Adventure called Hestu’s Concerns.
