Hidden Korok — What to Expect

Hidden Koroks are concealed in the environment — under lone rocks, inside hollow tree stumps, beneath leaf piles, or behind destructible walls. They reward careful observation and exploration.

Tips for Hidden Koroks

Lift every suspicious lone rock you see, especially on hilltops, cliff edges, and stumps.
Dive into circles of lily pads or flower rings in water — a Korok often hides beneath.
Cut tall grass and destroy leaf piles with fire or wind to reveal hidden Koroks.
Check the tops of tall trees and flag poles — climb and examine for a sparkle.

Puzzle Solution

Locate the Korok

Among the Castle Town Ruins, a suspiciously neat pile of rocks sits next to the crumbled fountain basin. Lift the topmost rock to find the Korok hiding underneath. The fountain is on the main street east of the Temple of Time ruins — look for the moss-covered stone benches nearby as a landmark.
