The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom once again has Link running all over Hyrule looking for Korok Seeds. If you played Breath of The Wild, then you already know that there are way more Korok Seeds than there are upgrades.

You will still need to collect a hefty sum if you want to fully upgrade Link’s inventory. The guide below goes over how much "Hestu" iconHestu can upgrade your pouch, how much you will be paying per upgrade, and how many total "Korok Seed" iconKorok Seeds you will need to gather to fully expand your inventory in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Speak with Hestu to upgrade your pouch.
