Happy to help, best way I've seen someone get me to "Join" a channel, in fact this is the first time I've done so. Get that Bread!
If they are, roasting them over a fire doesn't work. Trust me, I tried.
Nuts. We will need to get creative.
@@TheBreadPirateMaybe burn them at the stak… I mean… with steak
Tried boiling them in a hot spring and dropping them in lava. No cook, either.
@@TheBreadPirate(Also, here is $1 to rip off RUclips 😉)
I heard burning them on a cross adds flavor. Oh, still no workie?
Okay, but Tulin never handed us poop for solving a puzzle.
Huh... good point. 🤔
KOROKS ARE JUST LITTLE GUYS LEAVE THEM ALONE MAN
@@jan.akisa. *Little menaces
@@jan.akisa.NO! They give me LITERAL FECES for solving their puzzles! THEY MUST PAY!
😂
The "Face" of a korok is probably just a mask they use to resemble a face (like the korok mask armor piece) , since they don´t have a mouth or eyes, something obvious if you look a hestu, they always have their nose piercing the leaf to hold the mask, and in some cases, the nose is way above the "eyes" of the mask, specifically the Korok face that resembles more the frond.
So, in conclusion, The face of koroks is probably just a Korosk front with a face painted, and eating them doesn't hurt the korok in any way other than maybe emotionally.
Considering that (correct me if I’m wrong) Hestu I believe mentions that Koroks are “children of the forest” and that you can get Korok fronds from cutting down trees it may be that they are quite literally children of the forest and come from trees and perhaps grow around the fronds themselves, though this may be me miss remembering some dialogue
@@antlionworkerfan2007i find it more likely they just fashion masks from the fronds
if you were a child of the forest wouldn't you just use the natural resources of the forest around you
In Breath of the Wild there is a Rito in Gerudo Town. She stands in front of the meat stall wishing they had poultry. It makes sense since most of the Rito resemble birds of prey.
Given their emphasis on archery and hunting, they're probably predominantly carnivorous.
I never understood why cats eating mice, i.e. mammal on mammal, is fine; but hawks eating chickens, i.e. bird on bird, was seen as cannibalism. Or in at least two cases, one of which was freaking Donatello, who is supposedly the smart one; considering turtles eating frogs, i.e. reptile on amphibian, as cannibalism. I mean, they _are_ both Chordates... but so are tigers and sharks; I'm starting to think that the writing on the third movie was not very good?
@@BonaparteBardithion I think most races in Hyrule are probably omnivorous. With the exception of Gorons ofc, since they quite literally eat rocks. But I think the Rito being carnivores would make much since, seeing as therehave been many side quests involving a Rito cooking a meal with a lot of other things, and they also sell zero meat in their general store in both games.
@@shark_girl
I agree they're omnivores, but their lifestyle and anatomy do indicate a higher amount of meat in their diets. Multiple recipe related Rito quests call for fish, for example, and NPCs talk about hunting or eating poultry.
It's possible that they don't sell meat because it's just harder to have it consistently in stock when they don't keep livestock. They hunt what they need for their own households. If anywhere, I would assume Hateno would sell meat since they have the largest number of livestock, but I don't believe they do in either game either. Aside from seafood, most of Hyrule seems to practice subsistence hunting.
Falcons in particular prefer other birds
Considering that the Koroks were completely fine in the Eldin region when the volcano was still erupting and made it so hot that wooden weapons instantly caught fire, I'm honestly not sure if even Korok faces on their own are edible.
The fire resistance just makes them chewy. Still edible.
Maybe they regularly chug fireproof elixirs.
How are their wand stick things fine?
Magic
that lava isnt worthy of seeing them and therefore cannot harm them, obviously
Hmm I’m still not convinced Agoose isn’t going around eating Koroks
Holy frick!! I can't believe you're here. I'm a big fan of your work @j0rts !
yo its the guy who still needs to touch grass
(this is a joke btw)
@@TheBreadPirate fun fact you can make pizza and cheese cake in totk
SIR, SIR!

Hey j0rts touch grass in every Kirby game
If you want a bit more flavor to your Korok, add a little bit of Rock Salt.
:O
Glory to Master Kohga
@@pigeonmanepicGlory to Master Kohga!
I was sprinkling salt on that Korok when he was waking up. He looked at me in horror. I quickly put the salt away and just said I was keeping the slugs off of him. He still doesn't trust me.
ko-ROCK salt you mean
As a non-korok myself, I am also afraid of vegetarians.
We all are.
@@dynastyrex that's exactly why they're afraid of you
I accidentally clicked on the channel and realized you had over 9k subscribers! Lol
Well for me I only have beef with them.
Hopefully vegan teacher isn't here
I can't believe they used Hestu's hair being trees as an argument against being edible as if it's not just broccoli.
Exactly what I thought!
EmOtIoNaL DaMaGe
There's also the Korol elder Chio who has mushrooms growing on his head. I wonder if they're edible.
Vegetarian here. Can confirm koroks are yummy
Thank you for the help vegetarian!
UHH
I'm a vegetarian too. I eat Koroks every day. They are my favourite food
Finally, someone asking the real questions! This is what we're subscribed for.

Anything is edible if you try hard enough.
Alternatively: Everything is edible at least ONCE. (it just might kill you afterwards)
Another alternative: everything is edible if you cook it into some stew, even depleted uranium
You don't want to know how I found this out
okay but what if I want the pure Uranium flavor@@deadboyo2773
on the topic of rito chicken nuggets, tulin's parents are named teba and saki. and tebasaki is the name for chicken nuggets in japan.
The first thing that came to mind for me about the fronds looking like they're hiding something is that it might be a very sneaky joke about fig leaves in art, covering an otherwise nude person's most sensitive bits.
It wouldn't surprise me if that was the intent behind the English flavor text - there were a few things that could plausibly be interpreted as 'jokes for adults that fly over younger players' heads' in BotW, and TotK probably has some of this too.
Makes sense, I also would be afraid if a bunch of people would start eating the clothes I am wearing
what other kinds of jokes were there?
Good thing bread pirate has youtube. Otherwise, he'd be home alone just talking to Link all day
Link doesn't make good small talk. Thanks for saving me from this torture.
@@TheBreadPirate Haha yeah I can see that.😂
This is the most entertaining thing I've seen all day.
Btw, reminds of me of the "Gorons eating rocks" thing. In Ocarina of Time, the Gorons are found to be starving because the rocks they love to eat come from Dodongo's Cavern, which is blocked off by a huge boulder. One may ask why they don't just eat the boulder? I think it's because the boulder... tastes like Koroks. In a manner of speaking. Lemme 'splain.
As we have many different plants with varying levels of taste and edibility, I'm sure Gorons have varying levels of edible rocks. For example, we know from BotW and TotK they don't like the taste of gemstones, which is why they make a business of selling them. Some rocks just taste better than others. Let's say they have some rocks that are as edible to us as, say, lettuce. Who doesn't love lettuce? (Yes, you do.) Gorons would love those kinds of rocks.
But say there were other rocks that were as edible to them as an... aspen leaf would be to us. Is it technically edible? Well, like the aforementioned Korok face, an aspen leaf is TECHNICALLY edible by a strict scientific definition, but that doesn't mean any of us like to eat them or would choose to. So if you've got an "aspen leaf-tasting" boulder blocking your way and you're a Goron with good taste who's used to "lettuce-tasting" rocks, you wouldn't be able to bring yourself to chow down on it.
Whether it's a boulder, a gemstone, a frond, or a forest spirit's face... it's all a matter of what CAN be eaten, what SHOULD be eaten, and what one is WILLING to eat.
That's a great explanation for the Boulder Eating Paradox in Ocarina of Time! I enjoyed reading this.
Thanks! I just wanted to give back a little from the enjoyment of seeing your video. :D
I like imagine that the hearts of food is measured by how good they taste, so korok fronds probably taste pretty bad (Like those edible leaves in real life)
Ha ha, same! It's funny we both came to the same conclusion.
hearts are a measure of how much Link loves them (which should mean that Riju and Mineru give 100000000000 hearts)
me when raw gourmet meat (3 hearts) tastes better than an apple (1/2 heart)
Link when he first sees the resemblance between Korok fronds and faces: “GIVE ME YOUR FACE!!!”
Nom nom
I do think that the Koroks are indeed tree people. Because if you look at the character profiles, it lists the Great Deku Tree as a Korok. Also as you said Hestu has branches growing on his head, so maybe all Koroks will eventually become trees when they get very old.
The Thing is that Koroks are actually spirits that can only be seen by only a few People.
Meaning it is more likely that Eating them would be more like eating a Poe Soul in Ocarina of Time that you caught in a Bottle.
I find that Koroks pooping gold is weird. What is the game not telling us when Link ascends through a Korok? We need to eat them to find out!
Time to dig deeper!
@@TheBreadPirateor even better, we rid the game of Koroks.
@@TheBreadPirate 7:18 k but Tulin is helpful and the best sage, whereas Koroks are as disturbing as u stepping on a leaf and it not crunching.
lets keep in mind that they were kokiri once, so maybe they keep some human-like insides
Another good point!
meat! yummy
eat random koroks until you find Saria, got it
I thought this comment was going to be like "and that's why you shouldn't eat them" but nope o.o ok then. That is true though, they're probably more then just tree bark
Ah, you're missing the point. Whilst it is still morally wrong to eat a Korok, because no-one can see them (and therefore they cannot see you eating them) you'd still be able to eat them without facing any major consequences. WHilst it is still morally wrong, it is still possible!
Freeze dried koroks are used in the Korok Space Program.
Yummy!
I love your editing and humor! Thanks for making me laugh!
Thanks Captain Octorok!
same as you
With how the community has been towards Koroks lately, this video is such a welcome change of pace! Very good points you raised as well ^^
Instructions unclear. I now have an army of koroks hunting me down.
Dear Lord.... we are doomed.
Release the vegetarians. They are the last line of defense.
those koroks can make a menacing snack i guess
The phrasing is very well chosen in, "looks like it might be hiding something behind it"; meaning it hides the face, or more appropriately the "non-face", of a Korok. So the leaf isn't really part of their body, but a decoration from the Deku Tree that they wear.
I think Koroks are basically little saplings of the Great Deku Tree, and I believe they can actually take root when old enough but not sure if that's ever explored in the games aside from the Deku sapling in Ocarina that resembles them.
I still want to see a massive salad bowl filled with every backpack Korok
The vegan teacher is stunned right now
...well, I guess Link could eat hylians if he so wanted to. Of course people would start confusing him with Ganondorf in that case, though.
Bread over here asking the real questions

"Only when you find inner peace can you begin to unlock the secrets of the universe"
/Proceeds to take a bit out of Korok
@@TheBreadPirate the real question is if the koroks backpacks are edible
I haven’t prepared a lot of root vegetables for cooking in a long time, so I can’t remember the details, but there are ways to prepare tougher, starchier roots for eating, I think. You just have to make sure to break down the fibers anough that the human body can process them.
Bread, Congrats on 70+ members, anyway, its too late, I roasted a Korok over a fire, He Kept screaming, "VEGITARIANS EVERYWHERE!!!!" I sadly dont speak korok, I google translated it after the meal.
I’ve been waiting so long for a new bread pirate video! So happy
same
:D Thanks Sack!!
My Theory is that when a Korok makes Roots they turn into a tree and when they do there mask stays in the tree for someone to find in the future
i can’t believe that i subbed yesterday and there’s a new video already!
Perfect timing!
good to see your back Bread Pirate always good to have a new video
:D
This is the best Theory video I've ever seen, screw Ganondorf and Demise this is way better.
Finally someone who realizes that not everyone can see them, only people pure of heart can see dragons and koroks
🤣
@@TheBreadPiratealso I would get a long-term membership :D
Well, if you keep at 99 cents
@@BowlOSoup6661 That might be worth looking into then!
Wow, Link has a mighty fine pitchfork. :O
Perfect for eating salad!
I think technically even the body of the Korok would be edible. MatPat proved over on Food Theory back in December that you could eat your Christmas tree, so... Korok would be edible. Maybe not the most nutritious or delicious, but edible nonetheless.
Your videos are always so fun to watch! Thankyou so much! This was pretty creative.
was not inspecting this title in my feed
Then the title worked!
@@TheBreadPirate any video of yours is a worthwhile one so the title is just some added spice :)
Its a real shame that in totk the warm doublet is nowhere to be found. 😢
But the climbing gear looks just as good on link 😁
By the very premise this is already excellent, I myself was quite curious of this idea. I have yet to actually watch; but I believe their flesh would be similar to root vegetables like potatoes or radishes.
Amazing video! also good luck with the youtube mafia xD
I have been watching some of your older videos and it’s cool to see how much you’re channel has grown! Along with that, yes you have made it even more obvious that koroks are edible
I'm a spy for the koroks and I am going to tell them that you made this

Great video man keep up the great work
Man I’ve been waiting for this
Not to mention that that koroks are likely descended from the kokiri, the former spirits of the forest. its speculated that kokiri evolved into koroks after being trapped in the forest for so long. considering the fact that kokiri originated from hylians, its safe to say that koroks are likely not edible. if link were to eat a korok, i guess you could view it as cannibalism in a way
The kokiri evolved into the koroks during the events of wind Waker. So even if that game doesn’t tie into botw/totk it does clarify the koroks ARE the kokiri. And that the flood and the events of wind waker did happen

Never failing to interest me in a video lol. While every is making crazy machines. You are eating Koroks. Godspeed pirate of breads. Godspeed
Awesome hilarious video 😂
Something tells me Pep heard about
koroks getting tortured and now has nightmares
It is canon that Koroks are afraid of vegetarians. They must have heard about it from somewhere.
I love those mini sketches you do with Link 💚
Mushrooms and Fruits don't actually necessarily indicate that Koroks eat other plants. Fungi are not plants at all, but another kingdom seperate from animals and plants altogether, that do in fact account for a lot of the organic material consumed by trees in particular, and fruits botanically are never the entire plant they're attached to, but a part that is produced as part of the reproductive process, making them essentially equivalent to taking eggs from chickens - rather than being equivalent to eating the chicken itself. I don't know if the Koroks would be so receptive of the idea of eating a plant's roots or stem, the way Link does with greens such as stambulbs, hylian herbs, sundelions and so forth. They seem pretty down with rice, which is that sort of thing as well, so it's probably fine, but it is a distinction worth considering imo
GOATed comment. I didn't think about those angles!
This is Literally the best thing I have seen all day.
Love ur videos ur my one of my favorite Zelda players
Fun fact, on the great plateau in breath of the wild where you get the first Rusty broadsword and there's a korok dive thing? Well interests of the Kingdom there's a korok underneath a rock where the sword used to be, and now there's a sword underneath where the korok used to be x3
If someone tried to eat a korok, they'd cease to be worthy of seeing them and they'd all vanish from the perspective of that person.
Hi bread pirate you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs keep up the content
Yahy 30 members 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I really like your videos
Hey dude! These are pretty good! I recommend the Korok Burrito. It’s my own recipe. All you do is rip off the korok face then get some meat and some hot sauce and put into the korok face and roll it up!
If you finish the newspaper quests you can access the Lucky Clover Gazette's back room. In there there is an edition of the newspaper that says that koroks can be seen by those with pure hearts
The tree theory I think is even more proven when u look at the great deku trues profile in totk, and at the bottom it says korok
This is the only type of Zelda controversy I ever want to see again 😂. Great video Bread!
Thanks Masked Majora!! :D
I love your videos they are so funny 😂
Its always a good day when the bread pirate uploads!
7:23 I need a whole. Video of the tulin pet animation. 🤣
I gave you the membership with follow. Love your videos and hope you'll make more from now on. Hope the next time i hear from you its with an extra $1000
Ayy, lets hope so. I haven't heard back from RUclips yet, but I'll be calling them soon.
Yahaha (Thank you for stopping Link from eating those koroks the second one is actually a really good friend of mine, but I’m surprised he’s still doing that hiding stuff normally the festival is only for children.)
Now that promo is the kind of shenaniganary I like to see! Good on you. Get that bread, Pirate.
yet again, another great watch
But...I love spinach! That's not a deterrent for me lol. Great video!
One thing I noticed about Hestu is that he has leaves on his branches which means he engages in photosynthesis. He also shits gold, and in the Zelda universe, gold is often referenced to be the color of light. Hestu and the Koroks are mobile as well, and photosynthesis would not produce enough energy to support that so it would make sense that they also consume matter and produce waste from that. Then of course, you have Korok seeds. I think they are only seeds in the localization, but that does bring up the question of their reproduction and if it's more intimate than regular plant reproduction. Do Koroks have boyfriends/girlfriends?
"Only link can eat rock hard food".
Gorons:Hello there.
i have always just assumed that they use inanimate korok fronds as masks and that's what pepp was talking about, but the rest of this analysis is so funny lol
the center of the common korok is a kokiri fairy spirit. Yum!
Man i woke up this morning to this so random but intresting
Nice video guy! I'm new here
the deku tree's character profile in totk says its part of the korok race, which pretty much confirms that the koroks are made of wood
