The Korok Forest is home to the Koroks who are a tiny race of people who wear masks on their faces. If you’ve played the prequel, you’ll be glad to find out that Koroks are making a comeback in this game.

However, getting to the Korok Forest isn’t as simple as walking into it. In fact, you’ll have to go through a couple of locations first just to make your way to the forest.

If you’re struggling to enter the Korok Forest, we’ve created this guide just for you.

Once you get there, look for a red glowing chasm on the ground. As soon as you find it, what you need to do is jump down the Minshi Woods Chasm which will take you to the Minshi Grove.

From there, you want to keep moving all the way north. Do keep in mind that the area is very dark, so it might be hard to see the road. Make sure to use Brightbloom Seeds to light the way.

Your target destination is the shrine up above. Just keep heading straight until you reach Korok Grove and get close to the shrine as shown in the image.

Interact with the Lightroot on the shrine to take you above the ground.

Next, follow the road that will take you all the way to the structure up ahead. You should be able to find yet another Lightroot right next to it. Interact with it to get to another level.

Finally, once you reach the surface, turn to the left and climb into the platform. Use Ascend from your wheel menu to reach the upper level.

Once you emerge, you’ll now be inside Korok Forest.
