Uses Of Seeds & Priority

At the start, increasing the capacity of your Weapon Inventory is recommended to be prioritized. This is because you will often find yourself with a full weapon inventory. Once you think you have enough inventory for weapons, you can proceed to expanding the slots for Bows and shields.

Korok Seeds can be collected early in the game, but the inventory expansion is only available after descending to the Surface. After obtaining the Paraglider, head northwest from Lookout Landing Skyview Tower and complete a simple event to expand the inventory. It is near Lindor's Brow Skyview Tower, so stop by and expand your map.

Only Two Slots Are Available For The First Expansion

Once you have expanded a total of two slots, Hestu will move on and you will not be able to expand unless you meet him at another location. Look for him on the right side of the map since there are hints that he will head east.

Use Recommendations & Priorities

It is recommended to prioritize the expansion of the Weapons inventory at the start of the game. Weapons have a high priority because they can be picked up easily and you can get a ton of them. Since the number of items required for expansion increases, expand Bow and Shield little by little.
