You can find Hestus on top of a hill slightly northwest of North Hyrule Plain. During your first meeting, he will give you a side quest called Hestu’s Concerns.
He’ll talk about the four trees right up ahead being scary. All you need to do is take down those trees using an axe.
Do keep in mind that these aren’t ordinary trees. In fact, they will fight back, so you’ll have a bit of a battle going on. Once you’ve taken them down, go back and speak to Hestu.
He’ll then tell you about the Korok seeds and even mention that if you give him some, he’ll expand your inventory for you.
As long as you have a Korok seed, choose the “Yes please” option in the dialog then choose which stash you want to upgrade.
After that, Hestu will then move to Lookout Landing after progressing through the game.
If you want to spend Korok seeds to upgrade your inventory, look for him in the location above instead.
