Every The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild player made a very long, emphasized, and resigned sigh when they learned that there are 900 Koroks in Breath of the Wild.

I’ll even tell you what the reward is for getting all of them is, so that you can gauge if you should get all the Koroks in TotK or not. So, are you ready to learn how many Koroks are there in Tears of the Kingdom?
