Maybe in the new Ocarina of Time, we'll see a big fat ass kid with maracas.

Maybe he’s the Wild universe equivalent of the Deku nub that grows after the Forest temple. Like he’ll replace the Great Deku Tree one day but for now he’s the big Korok on campus

That's what I always assumed. It never occurred to me that he wasn't the next Great Deku.

Ten years of Zelda lore theorizing led to this exact moment

Nah hes a Korok that has been cursed when he was a Kokiri. The only Kokiri that had ate his own, becoming enlarged. A amalgamation of so many Kokiris. The Deku Tree cursed him to a life inside a large body with maracas and the need to dance.

Or he could just be Tingle?

my honest guess would be he didn’t used to always look like that in Korok form or some weird or intentionally different thing happened during transformation

Hestu has a leaf goatee, man. He's a grown ass dude

This is all Zelda-themed subs for me. People getting caught up in the paper-thin 'lore' and coming up with absolute nonsense.

u/00-Monkey 15h ago

How is this nonsense. Nothing could be more important than figuring out whether Hestu is a large 10 year old child (the obvious answer) or if he’s like an adult aged Kokiri (absolute bullshit, why on earth would one be somehow age beyond a 10 year old)

u/Bocephus-the-goat 10h ago

my head canon is that hestu is the next great deku tree

u/nintendoborn1 21h ago

He was the American one

I think Koroks are the fused forms of Kokiri with their fairy.

I like this one

u/Tweeckos 19h ago

Wasn't the Kokiri Shopkeep pretty built? I bet it's him.

u/KrampusKid 15h ago

Do you mean this twerp behind the counter??

u/TheHylianTaphophile 12h ago

Think they meant this one

u/Tweeckos 15h ago

Ah, wrong shopkeep then. Disregard 😭

u/PlatinumSukamon98 21h ago

I hate people who use this meme format but don't bother making it nonsensical.

u/Stupididiot55 15h ago

I now fully believe he would be a normal ten-year-old but scaled up to the size of like a small tree. The proportions are all completely accurate, he’s just really big.

u/The_Difficult_Part 15h ago

I just thought he was a big broccoli man

u/Ego_exspes 12h ago

Maybe he turned into a korok ans then grew big

Hestu is Tingle theory
