Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: Central Hyrule Korok Seeds
Image: Nintendo Life

In this Korok guide, we'll list every Korok Seed location in the Central Hyrule Sky and Surface regions in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Central Hyrule is located (as you might expect) in the centre of Hyrule and is home to several notable destinations, including Lookout Landing, Hyrule Castle Town Ruins, and Hyrule Castle itself.

Each entry is accompanied by a map (displaying approximate coordinates), an environmental shot of the Korok's location, and the type of Korok puzzle you'll need to complete to get the seed.

If you're looking for Koroks elsewhere, you can find them all listed by region in our main Korok Seed Locations guide hub.

Please bear in mind that this Korok Seed guide is very much a work in progress. We will be adding more entries over the coming days — possibly weeks! — so please bear with us as we explore Hyrule and find each and every Korok.

Central Hyrule Korok Seed Locations

Below is a list of every Korok Seed to be found in the Central Hyrule region. Koroks found on the Surface are listed first, followed by those in the Sky.

A note on coordinates: The 12-digit map coordinates given in each entry correspond to a specific point in the 3D space of Hyrule. The system is very precise and tied specifically to Link's position in the game world, so a single step will alter the readout. Therefore, the coordinates given below should be used as an approximate guide only.

If you're having trouble deciphering the numbers or your exact location, check out our Hyrule map coordinates guide.
