Last updated
Ever been wandering around the vast world of Hyrule in Tears of the Kingdom and wondered, “Why can’t I find Hestu?” You’re not alone! This is a common question among players diving into this epic adventure.
If you’re scratching your head over where Hestu has disappeared to in Tears of the Kingdom, let’s shed some light on this intriguing dilemma!
Spotting Hestu in Hyrule
Finding Hestu in Tears of the Kingdom can be a bit of a treasure hunt. Unlike in its predecessor, where Hestu would appear in specific locations, Tears of the Kingdom mixes things up, making his location a bit more unpredictable.
However, don’t fret! Hestu still roams the lands of Hyrule, ready to upgrade your inventory. Keep your eyes open as you explore both new and familiar territories. The key is to listen for his unique maracas sound or to look for large, moving maraca leaves which can guide you to his location.
