BotW Unexplored is a convenient homebrew app that allows you to easily view unexplored korok seeds in your Breath of the Wild savefile on your Nintendo Switch. The app displays a map highlighting the remaining korok seeds and locations yet to be visited, as well as shrines, hinoxes, taluses, and moldugas.
Although there are other websites and tools available for displaying and editing your BotW savefile, they do not run on your Switch. This means you would have to back up your savefile and transfer it to a computer, which can be unnecessarily complicated. That's why this homebrew app was created.
Usage
To use BotW Unexplored, simply download the botw-unexplored.nro file from the releases, transfer it to your SD card, and launch it. Most things should be self-explanatory, but there are some details to keep in mind. You can use the analog sticks or the touch screen to move around, press X to open the legend, and use the touch screen or D-pad to navigate the menu.
To find a specific korok seed, tap it on the map to see a guide on how to locate it. If you mark a korok seed as complete by pressing B, it will be removed once the savefile can be loaded again, so there's no need to worry if you accidentally mark a seed as found.
Screenshots
Changelog
v.2.0
- Added Shrines (+ DLC if it's present), Taluses, Hinoxes and Moldugas.
- Added a legend where you can toggle which of the collectibles you want to see.
- It's now possible to use the app while playing the game. This is achived by making backups of your savefile, which are then loaded while the game is running.
- Added guides for finding the koroks. The text and images are taken directly from Zeldadungeons interactive map. Simply tap a korok and a guide will pop up. Very helpful for certain korok seeds that are hard to find with only a location on a map.
- When a korok is selected, press B to manually mark it as complete. Very helpful if you're using the app while playing as the latest savedata can't be read. Otherwise you would have to remember all the koroks you've found during this play session, which could become difficult. The correct korok progress will be restored once the game has been closed.
- "Korok paths" have also been added to help finding some koroks. If you've used Zeldadungeons interactive map, then you know what they are.
- Added support for Master Mode. Press Y to toggle it.
- Drastically improved performance when a lot of objects are displayed. Can easily run at 60fps now.
- The app remebers your last camera position and zoom. This makes it easy to get back to the korok you looked at last time, if you for example switch between BotW and the app. (You can also press X in the Homebrew menu to star it for quicker access)
- Now tries to load the last used user so you won't have to use the dialog picker every time you start the app.
- Added more error messages and all logs are saved to a text file in case the app doesn't work
v.1.0
- First Release.
