In this Korok guide, we'll list every Korok Seed location in the Central Hyrule Sky and Surface regions in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Central Hyrule is located (as you might expect) in the centre of Hyrule and is home to several notable destinations, including Lookout Landing, Hyrule Castle Town Ruins, and Hyrule Castle itself. It's a huge area with many Koroks to find.

In this guide, we'll show you where to find all the Koroks in Hyrule Castle, around Great Hyrule Forest, Lake Hylia, Hyrule Field, Hyrule Ridge, and on the Great Plateau, plus any Koroks hiding on Central Hyrule Sky Islands. Each region is accompanied by a map and a numbered list of each hidden Korok detailing the type of Korok puzzle you must complete to get each seed.
