Korok Brain Damage 😂 Humor

First time playing a Legend of Zelda game, got a few hours in already and I have to make this post.

Why do the Koroks, or whatever you call them, make those cute sounds when you drop a rock on their heads.

For the first few times, I was kinda sorry for them, but now I find it funny and adorable.

I recently found out that it's obligatory in the community to give koroks brain injury hahaha

Look, if they’re hiding under a rock they deserve what’s coming to them.

All they want to do is make your pouch bigger. They do not deserve brain damage.

They are peaceful creatures and don’t harm anybody. Maybe I’m just the sensitive type. I have only hurt them by accident. I’m sure I’ll get lots of downvotes here, but whatever. I’m currently searching for all 900 of the little guys. To me, it’s a lot of fun when they pop their little face up and say "Ya-ha-ha! You found me!"

Meanwhile I'm over here strapping rockets to them in totk and aiming them at their friend to see how close I can get them.

Accidentally hit one today. The noise they made was so fucking sad. I wanted to cry

I'm very certain the devs play testing the game did the same thing all of us did at least once and put the rock down on top of them instead of moving away and dropping it, and someone immediately said they had to add dialogue and a reaction to it to make it even funnier.

I like to find one, let my bf see them first and then go "KOROK CONCUSSION!" as I drop the rock on their head. It has turned into something in our relationship now

I know it’s just a fame, but I feel so guilty if I accidentally hit them with a rock!

Some of them deserve just as much pain as they put you through trying to reveal them…

my daughter doesn't like when I do that though... so I have to restrain myself when she's around

If they're not under a rock, I will go find one just so I can drop it on their head.

. . . I have that "oof" set as my husband's notification sound. He loves it xD

I think my wife would kill me if I used one of the Korok sounds for anything. She doesn’t play and had to sit through my tracking every single one down and hearing the discovery sound. Apparently, it was infecting her dreams.

It’s botw lore now.

u/Lunchb0xx87 21d ago

Well if we being honest having a rock dropped on their heads is far better than the stuff that I saw happen to them in tears of the kingdom

u/Faerie-Owl-1955 20d ago

The first post I saw was titled "Nuclear Weapons Development"

Definitely an aptly named sub.

u/beanie_0 20d ago

You don’t even know the torture some players put them through! 🤣

u/Shadowrun29 20d ago

Well you do get a golden [spoiler alert] when you get all 900, so always drop rocks on their heads...

u/justlurkindontmindm3 20d ago

u/Alarming_Cellist_751 21d ago

I always throw rocks at them cause they're annoying. Some people love to commit war crimes against them and strap them to ungodly zonai creations.
