How do you make a Korok mask?

You can easily make one by cutting a leaf shape out of green craft foam, painting a yellow swirl or face pattern on it, cutting out two small eye holes, and hot-gluing an elastic band to the back.

What do Koroks look like?

They have small, wooden, brown bodies shaped like tree roots or sprouts, and they wear flat, colorful leaves as masks to hide their faces.

Is a Korok costume comfortable for walking around?

Yes, because it is based on a soft brown jumpsuit, it is warm and comfortable, though you should ensure your mask has good ventilation and visibility.

How to put it together

1
Put on the brown hooded jumpsuit or matching brown sweat suit.
2
If DIYing the texture, lay the jumpsuit flat and use tan fabric paint to paint wavy, vertical tree-bark stripes down the front and sleeves, then let dry.
3
Craft or prepare your leaf mask, ensuring the eye holes align comfortably with your eyes.
4
Put on the brown gloves and brown shoes or shoe covers.
5
Pull the hood of the jumpsuit up over your head to frame your face.
6
Secure the leaf mask over your face using the elastic band, tucking the band under the hood.
7
Hold your Korok seed prop or carry your burlap pouch to complete the look.

Makeup & hair

Since your face is entirely covered by the large leaf mask and your head is covered by the hood, no makeup or hair styling is required.

Korok for couples, groups, kids & more

couples: Pair up with Link carrying a Korok leaf, or go as two different Koroks (e.g., Makar and Hestu).
group: Gather a group of friends to wear different colored leaf masks and hide around a party space.
kids: A brown fleece one-piece with a lightweight felt leaf mask is comfortable and adorable for toddlers.

Tips

Ensure the eye holes in your leaf mask are large enough for peripheral vision, especially if wearing it at night.
Use lightweight materials like craft foam or felt for the mask so it doesn't feel heavy on your face.
Carry a small speaker in your pocket programmed to play the high-pitched 'Yahaha!' sound effect when people find you.
