Zelda: Breath Of The Wild - Lost Woods Route Directions And How To ...

Lost Woods directions to Korok Forest

Not unlike previous games in the series, the Lost Woods is a self contained maze that will teleport you back if you take the wrong turn.

When you start, go through the archway and you'll spot a torch, which initially act as your guide through the Lost Woods. Turn to the right (north), and you'll see another two in the distance. Head in that direction to the furthest one.

At the furthest torch, and there's another two to the left (west), which you should follow. At the last one, turn left again (south) and you'll see one more. Head there.

From this torch, there's seemingly no other torches around. Go right here (or west) and keep walking, you'll soon come to a pair to torches by some large trees.

Pick up the handheld torch resting against one of the pair, and head into the large tree in the middle for a chest with a Forest Dweller's Spear while you're here too.

There are no torches ahead, so things get a lot more confusing. However, if you light the handheld torch, the way the embers fall give you a clue as to where to go (thanks to commenter dinosaurpants for the tip!)

Here's the directions - start by heading south west through the two trees, the left most one with a branch that looks like a claw pointing down:

Continue in that direction past 3-4 rows of trees, then head west. You'll quickly pass a tree that looks like it has a wide evil-looking grin across it. Though there are a lot of these in the forest, this one will be facing you like so:

Here, go north, past another one of those evil grin trees looking at you from the right, and in a few paces you'll come to a slightly more open area:

Go through this open clearing north east, past another evil looking tree on your right - your Shrine Nearby gauge will go off to tell you you're in the right direction - and keep going.

If you look at the mini-map, you'll see a proper clearing over to the east. Keep going and you'll find it - a valley of rock that'll then take you to Korok Forest.
