ROMANI PLAINS, Hyrule — After fixing a stone circle with one rock out of place, local legend Link uncovered a dried-up korok left undiscovered during the events of his previous adventure.
The korok, named Kuhu, appeared with a clack of sticks and a puff of dust after spending several miserable years trapped inside the rock.
“Ya-ha-ha! How the fuck did it take you this long to find me,” Kuhu angrily coughed out upon being discovered by the Hero of Time. “Great Deku Tree damnit, it’s not like you have to move a mountain to find me; just one dumb fucking stone. Ow… oh my back is so sore from hiding here this whole time… wait, how long have I been out? How many blood moons have passed?”
Once he appeared, the korok began inspecting his body which had become desiccated and withered while waiting to be discovered. Kuhu’s three-tipped leaf face had holes blown through it, bark had flaked off his back, and the stick holding his pinwheel leaf had been snapped in half.
“Wow, you look like you’re in bad shape, pal,” said Link, somehow without vocalizing. “I’m sorry but there’s a lot going on right now and you guys are pretty much everywhere. I don’t want to get into it, but I think my girlfriend time-traveled and caused the world to get even worse than it had been… Hey, wait, why were you hiding in the first place?”
“Ya-ha-hoh no it hurts everywhere,” moaned Kuhu to Link. “I should’ve never agreed to do this. Hestu said this was going to be such a great opportunity. ‘Hide out, share your seeds with random people if they see you, and have fun,’ he said. What a crock of seed that was. This sucks… get the fuck out of here, dude! Bye-byeee!”
Before moving on and going to a nearby shrine, Link was presented with an off-white korok seed that crumbled in his hands.
