Collecting 440 seeds will allow you to max out the weapon space for all of your gear. With the base slots and additional slot upgrades put together, the total number of slots is 20 for Weapons, 20 for Shields, and 14 for Bows.

Korok Seeds are available all over Hyrule

You can obtain Korok Seeds when find hidden Koroks all over Hyrule or when you help out a Korok. Finding hidden Koroks require you to solve a puzzle such as placing a rock to complete the rock circle pattern or lifting rocks in unusual places.

Inventory Expansion Priority

Prioritize the Weapon Slot First

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.
