Inventory Guide - How To Upgrade Your Inventory?

Complete The Quest "Hestu's Concerns" First

First & Second Expansion	Third Expansion & Afterwards

In order to upgrade or expand your inventory, complete the "Hestu's Concerns" first. Upon completing the side adventure you will be able to unlock the inventory upgrade feature. You can give Hestu Korok Seed to upgrade a specific pouch. Each time you upgrade your inventory, the amount of Korok Seeds increases.

Number of Korok Seed Required For Inventory Expansion

Collect Korok Seeds

Korok Seeds are scattered everywhere, and you can find them through exploration. They can be obtained under rocks, unlocked after solving a puzzle and other methods. You need to pay attention to all of your surrounding while exploring various areas.

The Location Of Hestu

The First Location Is At The East Of Lindor's Brow SkyView Tower

At first, Hetsu will be next to New Serenne Stable near Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower. Complete Side Adventure to unlock Hestu and be able to expand inventory twice.

Disappears After Expanding Twice

After helping Hetsu near Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower, Hetsu will expand inventory twice and then disappears saying that he will move to the east.

Move from Lindor's Brow to Lookout Landing

If you're looking to expand the inventory after expanding twice at Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower, Hetsu will be standing next to the General Store of Lookout Landing. There will be no limit and Hetsu will move again if you discover Korok Forest.

Move To Korok Forest Once It Is Discovered

Once Korok Forest is discovered, Hetsu will move to Korok Forest. So head to Korok Forest to expand inventory as Hetsu will be staying at Korok Forest forever.

Inventory Guide - Upgrade Priority

Upgrade Weapons With The Highest Priority

Compared to shields and bows, you will often have full inventory for weapon. This is why it is highly recommended that you upgrade your weapons inventory. Also, the more weapons you possess, the more fighting options you can choose from. In addition, you can utilize the new feature "Fuse" and further expand your battle style.

You Can Upgrade Bows & Shields Inventory Once or Twice

In the first and second upgrades, the amount of Korok Seed needed is minimal so it is okay to use Korok Seeds to upgrade Bow and Shield once or twice. After doing so, it is recommended to prioritize enhancing the inventory of weapons and then bows. You would not need to store many shields so it is okay to lessen its priority.

Adjust According To Your Playstyle

The above-mentioned are only recommendations, and it is still up to you whether to follow them or focus on your playstyle in game. Shields are used in large quantities especially to practice dodging/guarding, so it is also an option to upgrade your shield inventory.

What To Do When Your Inventory Is Full?

Discard Items You Don't Need

Picking up weapons, bows, and other items that are scattered around the area quickly fills up the inventory. If you are unable to pick up the desired equipment, try removing and discarding unnecessary items from your inventory. When discarding items, simply select the item you want to get rid of and choose the option "Remove" or "Drop" to do so.

Use Extra Items As Fuse Materials

The new feature introduced in this game, called "Fuse," allows you to combine weapons with other materials to transform them into brand new weapons. Equipment is no exception, so you will be able to free up inventory slot if you combine unnecessary equipment and weapons. Keep in mind that you cannot fuse items that have already been fused, so be cautious.

Collect Korok Seeds To Expand Your Inventory

You can obtain Korok Seeds from Koroks you may find located throughout the various regions. By giving a certain number of Korok Seeds to Hestu, you can expand the maximum capacity of your weapon, bow, and shield inventory pouches. You can own a wide variety of equipment and items by expanding as needed.
