How Many Korok Seeds Do You Need for Max Inventory in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?

Just like in the previous game, in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Korok Seeds have to be collected to increase and max Link’s inventory. These Seeds are scattered all over Hyrule, hidden behind puzzles, and can be traded with Hestu the giant Korok. At first, Hestu can be found at the Lindor’s Brow Skyview Tower near the New Serenne Stable. Afterward, he will make himself at home at Lookout Landing in front of a huge tree.

Before his pouch is upgraded, Link can only able to hold onto a small number of items and equipment. When you start the game, you can only bring around four Shields, five Bows, and nine Weapons. Obviously, you will need a much bigger pouch to tackle Ganondorf later in the game. So here are the number of Korok Seeds needed to max the inventory in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
