Hestu and Korok — Zelda Breath of the Wild
Hestu shaking his maraca seedpods with two koroks dancing alongside — stitched as a gift, with metallic floss added to the confetti so the magic actually catches the light.

Hestu — the giant musical Korok from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017), the one who shakes his maracas (which are, awkwardly, made from his own seedpods) and rewards Link for hauling in Korok seeds from across Hyrule. The little leaf-faced spirits dancing alongside him are the regular koroks: 900 of them hidden under rocks, behind trees, and inside suspiciously-shaped flowerbeds across the whole map.
Stitched on 32ct Barnwood Belfast linen — the warm, mottled brown felt much more like the floor of the Korok Forest than plain white aida ever would. Five days of stitching, August 18–22, 2020.
One small liberty taken with the chart: the confetti stitches around Hestu got swapped to DMC Light Effects metallics, so the magic actually sparkles in the light instead of sitting flat on the fabric.
Made as a gift for a friend’s wife, so it lives at someone else’s house now. Pattern by WurbYouCrossStitch (Andrea Cauras).
