Korok Forest

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide · Meeting the Great Deku Tree

Korok Forest is the peaceful sanctuary hidden in the heart of the Lost Woods, serving as the home of the Great Deku Tree and the Koroks. Here, Link can pull the legendary Master Sword from its pedestal, trade Korok Seeds with Hestu, and activate side quests and Shrine Quests. It is a central hub free of hostile monsters where you can prepare, rest, and expand your inventory.

You can sleep for free at the Spore Store inn inside the Great Deku Tree simply by talking to the attendant Korok.
Activate the Keo Ruug Shrine right behind the Master Sword's pedestal to create a permanent fast-travel point, avoiding having to re-navigate the Lost Woods.
