You can find Hestu southeast of the Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower at the Ridgeland region. Start from Lookout Landing at Central Hyrule region and follow the road northwest. You will need to pass through a bridge and a stable to reach his location.

There is a Hinox sleeping in the middle of the bridge. It is recommended to crouch down and walk slowly pass it to prevent a boss fight from occuring.
There are two tree enemies near Hetsu that may attack once you get near him. Use a flammable weapon to defeat these enemies easily.
If you exchange 2 Korok Seeds, Hestu will move to a different location eastward. You can find him at Lookout Landing at this point

Korok Seed Locations and Rewards
| Inventory Expansion Priority |
|---|
| Weapon Slot > Bow Slot > Shield Slot |
It is recommended to prioritize with expanding your weapon slot as you will most likely use melee weapons in combat, followed by the bow slot and the shield slot. Weapons are also the most plentiful, and they tend to break much quicker than the other two.
If you prefer fighting up close, you can prioritize with expanding the shield slot instead of the bow slot.
