The Korok Forest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is hidden deep in the Great Hyrule Forest. Here is how to get inside without getting lost.
The entrance to the Korok forest in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is quite tricky to find. Back in Breath of the Wild, you were able to enter the lost woods through a path on the south-east side of the forest. This isn't possible in Tears of the Kingdom though. Now, players need to find a different way in. Here is how to enter the Korok Forest.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Korok Forest Entrance
To figure out a way to access the forest, you need to start thinking on a different level... I mean this quite literally. The new entrance to the Korok forest is hidden in the Depths.
The best way to enter the Depths underneath the Great Hyrule Forest is through the "Minshi Woods Chasm" in the south-east. Just simply blow yourself up in the air with the Eldin Canyon Skyview Tower below Death Mountain and glide right into the big black hole in the ground.
Once you have entered the Depths, you'll be welcomed by complete darkness... but don't be scared, there is nothing to hurt you here. Just throw a Brightbloom Seed, and get some light in there. You will find a trail of light-blue glowing pellets in the floor. To find the entrance to Korok forest, just follow the trail, like breadcrumbs from Hansel and Gretel in that German tale.
Did you know that you can get a new design for your paraglider by scanning Link's new Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom amiibo figure on your Nintendo Switch?
At one point, you'll reach an area that is totally covered in gloom. Be careful not to set foot on this red goo, because it will damage you and decrease your maximum health. Since the entrance to the Korok forest is on the other side of that gloom field, you need to find a way to get there without touching the gloom.
To get across this large area, you could either locate the Zonai device storage on your left and build yourself a little jet glider. For the non-engineers among you, don't worry, you can also just find a way around the gloom.
