Here's What You Get For Collecting All 900 Korok Seeds In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild

Didn't read as I didn't want to be spoilt.

But 900!!!!! I've collected 20 and thought I was well on my way

I've currently got 500+ and I fully intend to get 900. The prize is worth it

9...900!? I am at 82 and I thought I was close to having them all... Oh dear

Unless it has another use I will just collect what I find.

So the prize is nothing at all?
Thanks...

That's disappointing. I'm not keen on cheap toilet humour.

900?!?! That's insane!

@CaptainRainbow Just upgrading inventory and the final reward

It's similar to the crappy reward for getting all the skulltulas at the end of OoT.

What a load of S**t

There's 900 of those things.......I don't think that's enough.

(slow clap)

You can use that crap, to make some nice spicy meal wich makes u immortal. Just kidding if u eat that, zelda brings u back to the ressurection chamber for another 100 years haha!

900 ?!
1...
2...

898...
899...
900 !!!
900 Seeds, Not 999 Ballons.
Oh, btw. Hestu's Gift is looks like a "Poo" ???

@Yorumi after walking through hyrule castle I have to disagree.

That's actually kind of funny.

900??????? Speed run that one

There's 900?! I though I was progressing nicely until I heard that! This game is incredible.

a reward at all is more than most games give for getting everything tbh

Me: How many seeds do I have?
Game: 9.
Me: How many are there in all?
Game: 9...
Me: WoooooooOOOOOO...
Game:..hundred
Me: What?
Game: There are 900 seeds, you got 9.

@Koapa The prize is the upgrades you get for each seed. And you unlock them all well before 900. So there's no possible reason to collect them all except for your own curiosity and love of collectibles, at which point the reward is pointless anyway.

@Yorumi Without spoiling too much, let me just say that you don't need too many weapons to fight Ganon, and the weapons you find along the way to him should be more than enough.

You WILL be prepared.

Wow. So, to complete this quest I'll need roughly 450 apples, 5,000 arrows and I'll have to pick up all of the 9,000 rocks in the game.

@bimmy-lee Don't forget all the bows you will go through, since Link is He-Man or something and breaks everything.

I like that there's more than twice the amount you need to max out your inventory, so you can do that without having to get them all, but I dislike that korok seeds account for more than 70% of the in-game completion percentage.

@Dakt I almost beat the game before realizing that parrying didn't ruin your shield.
I actually beat the game before learning you could deflect lasers and pretty much any attack in the game. I wish I had known that before I fought the tougher enemies.

What's sad is that the game tells you this but I skipped the first shrine in the first city you can go to.

@Yorumi Exactly. Really, the only thing you need to worry about is how many hearts you have.

900?!?!?!

I thought there would be 100, like the skulltulas, but 900?

Surely the fact there are 900 is a spoiler in itself...

900 is too much. I barely have the patience to find all the Mai-Mai let alone this.

What does the turd do exactly? -_-

Kinda reminds me of the Ages stink bag, but at least it was useful and I'll take a trade quest over an insanely boring collectathon any day of the week.

Perfect.

I collected enough to max out my inventory before I finished the game. I'm never going back to it, so I suppose that I'll just miss out on having collected a burnished turd.

thanks for the spoiler in the headline. Didnt know there were 900. Thanks a lot. Didnt read the article.

@PorllM And that's the intentional joke of it: Nintendo put way more than enough of these seeds in the game so completing the normal task/quest set around them wasn't too much of hassle and/or near impossible, and there's a lot of room for finding them however and wherever you choose to explore, which is a good thing. The joke, however, is when you bother to collect all 900, and it's there just to remind people that going all OCD ultimately isn't worth much at all and isn't a truly rewarding pursuit or use of your time; and it's probably a little bit of an intentional knock at both bloated item collection quests, which are usually there to artificially pad out games (something Nintendo itself has been guilty of past Zelda games), and systems like "achievements" and "trophies" on the other consoles, which just glorify this kind of pointless OCD behaviour and obsession over basically ticking boxes and counting numbers. So, kudos to Nintendo for getting this.

Well, that's one speedrun category that won't be at GDQ.....

THIS is why Eiji said no one would 100% the game in a week.

@impurekind Yes I agree that's what I was trying to say!

@unoclay That's not a spoiler. It has no relation to the story and knowing the total amount can't possibly affect your enjoyment of the game.

@Tempestryke You aren't supposed to collect them all.

These are pretty much the last thing I'm gonna do before facing Ganon. I'm only a few updates in and already got enough space. Though if I do see one of their puzzles I'll just do them on the spot real quick.

Didn't really care about this spoiler since I knew it was gonna be something pointless. lol

This is a brilliant metaphor on ingame accomplishments. No matter what you do, what trophy's you get, how many items you collect. In the end all of it is meaningless, all of it is just gold painted crap.

@PorllM Disagree. It gives clear context of the scope of the game, and directly impacted my gameplay (there is no way i should even bother trying). I'd been excited I was finding them before--now im like "why bother".

Sure it isnt a full on spoiler, but they didnt need to mention the # in the headline.

I'm not about it. I don't want anything that smells.

@unoclay Well the only purpose they ever served was to give you the upgrades. Either you still want those upgrades in which case nothing has changed because you'll need to keep finding seeds. Or you already have all the upgrades, or don't care about them in which case the seeds are no longer relevant to your game in any way. UNLESS you just want to search for them just for the enjoyment of finding them, in which case, once again nothing has changed because you can just mess around in the map collecting them to your hearts content.

Bear in mind the amount of seeds needed to get all the upgrades is nowhere near 900. The point is to find them wherever and however you want to and not worry about the number or getting them all.

I'm not playing this game, but it seems odd that the game wouldn't make it clear how many of those things there are. Seems unwise to disappoint players willing to do that(certainly not me). That's one reason why I don't like the explosion of "content" or "stuff" in these games. Some consider the headline a spoiler. I consider it a public service announcement.

I could see myself attempting to find all 900, if only to keep me going until the last raft of DLC. The 3 initial chests were terrible value for money. I got more for scanning my amiibo.

I love just being in the world though. It's a shame there is no 'endgame' like Fable where you can continue past the ending. I bought the house for that exact reason.

@Kalmaro - Ha, yep, I overlooked the bows. So, 5,000 arrows = app. 500 bows? Take it easy on those bows link. Let the them do the work for you, jeez.

900? faints

...Can you sell the reward?

@impurekind Achievements can be quite fun, when the dev bothers to cook up specific challenges rather than making them all incredibly straightforward.

@CrazedCavalier Not when you get zero for it; it just becomes artificial filler and a way to tie consumers into insidious ecosystems imo. Now, in GoldenEye 007 on N64 you actually got properly satisfying and fun rewards for completing the various time challenges and stuff. That's how you do this kind of thing right as far as I'm concerned.

If I can pick these all up organically throughout the duration of all the game's DLC, great. If not, I'm definitely not bothering.

Well, that stinks.

This is great. Considering you "only" need 441 seeds to get all your upgrades, an ultimate weapon or item as a reward for 900 would be a bit much. All I know is that with collectables like this, I'll inevitably end up with 99/100 (for example) and give myself a headache finding the last one. The fact that there are so many more than you need, and no real reward for getting every last one, it's the way collectables should be done in open world games.

I think Nintendo and I have the same feelings towards quests like collecting the seeds...
I will grab any that I find but I am in no way going to find 900 of those.

Tips on actually finding seeds.

Yes, but when Link plants that poo at the....

900? Bring it on. I will find them all. Although I do consider that a slight spoiler, but oh well. Won't ruin my fun.

Nice to know I can max my inventory way before that, though. Although I would prefer an unlimited amount of slots so I can collect all the weapons. I want to collect at least one of each in mint condition. lol.

Nintendo does the best trolling so far this year

Kudos, I love it!

Wow. I have 137. I thought I was close

This reminds me of a similarly disappointing reward in Wario Ware Twisted for 100 percenting that game. I won't spoil the reward but it definitely is in the same realm of the reward for getting all the korok seeds

@PorllM I wouldn't anyway.

@Gentlegamer

I love your avatar.

I have 113 shrines done and only 20 korok seeds, I'll keep getting them for if I need to upgrade my inventory space but I'm not wasting my time to get all 900 for a korok's own pile of crap...

I enjoy finding them (sometimes going out of my way to look for them) and I enjoy the benefits of finding them, but I have no desire to get all 900.

who the heck already collected all of them o_O

900? Damn that's a lot. I collected 179. Thought there were going to be about 200. but 900. Jesus that a lot.

Oh well weapon and bow upgrades are good enough for me

That is very Japanese humor.
Like in Dragon Quest you can get piles of manure that are worthless. but at least you don't work hard for them. nonetheless, even for people who think it's funny, it might be at 100 but not after searching for 900 seeds. unless Nintendo really is trying to save you from yourself. "don't both finding them all we didn't put anything good in" lol

To all you guys saying it's a ridiculous amount, of the 900 you only need about 400 to max out your slots, and really you don't need to do that.

Nintendo wasn't intending for most people to collect all 900. They put in 900 so there would be enough of them for everyone to easily expand without hunting them all down.

I like collecting....just not that much. So their collecting is turd, but other games not so bad, ha ha.

Well, I mean leading up to the reward already is expanding your inventory. so it doesnt really matter what you get but it would have been cool if you could sell the golden turd for a large sum of rupees

I'm at about 100 Korok seeds and I thought, "There must 150 of them, I'm getting close." This is sadly a part of this game I will never complete. Oh well, everything else about it is so enthralling, this one small tidbit doesn't phase me.

Well played Nintendo. I know it's just a junk prize, but at the same time, they actually acknowledge completion.

The other day, I beat Calamity Ganon with over 60 seeds collected. I spent 105+ hours on that game up to that point, across 13 play sessions. Since I didn't fill pages of the Hyrule Compendium for several missable bosses, I gotta start over... but knowing what the completion bonus is... it is so worth it. That turd will be mine!

I can already see Jirard the Completionist's face.

Maybe the poo can be used to craft something amazing. That would be cool anyway.

I'm at the point that I collect the seeds just because I think Hestu's dance is cute.

Collecting the seeds also means you're actively increasing your inventory.. but.. got a feeling they'll add in something extra for those who've collected all the seeds in the upcoming DLC

Count me out. I'm all for inventory expansion but I'm no completionist.

Lol, that's some humour! Still want to find them all though, but maybe that won't happen. Its a super gigantic task!!

@Kayfios
Nothing is missable. Talk to Symin in Purah's lab in Hateno, and you can buy photos, including the ones you may have missed.

"When you rearrange the word SITH, you get... TSHI. Which is Chinese for the cooking of the duck-meat."

Nah, Hestu simply ate all the seeds you gave him and meticulously processed them before giving returning it.

Item collection can save a game that you like to play but don't like it's quests/storylines though. I play Skyrim that way, I grind, I build a home in Falkreath and sometimes I buy homes in Solitude and Riften, and I don't even trigger dragons encounters. Collections are not that bad. Ok, the fact that Skyrim sidequests are such disappointing compared to Oblivion sidequests is bad itself, that's true.

So many kids crying that saying there are 900 is a spoiler. Shut up, that's not a spoiler. How does knowing there are 900 spoil anything? It's not a story element, it doesn't affect the main story in any stretch of the imagination. it's like you kiddies will cry for any reason.
