Hestu, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
As the number of Link's abuses towards the Korok in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom increases, their fellow Hetsu has come forward to "speak out".
In the game, Hetsu is a large Korok who players must help bring small Koroks to in order to return stolen seeds to him.
However, in Tears of the Kingdom, players have the freedom to use the "Ultra Hand" to move the small Korok, resulting in various instances of Link accidentally and/or intentionally hurting or abusing them. Voice actor Cristina Vee, who voices Hestu, has noticed this trend and jokingly tweeted that she has seen all of the sins committed against the Korok.
to be fair, I made my korok buddy a horse drawn carriage to take him to his friend, but I ended up running into some fire fruit, blew up the carriage AND set the horse on fire. traumatizing

Even among the same race, it is inevitable to accidentally harm each other. Cristina Vee also admitted that she accidentally roasted a Korok; at that time, her character Hestu was transporting some of his fellow Koroks on a carriage, but they hit a fire fruit along the way, causing the carriage to explode and even roasting the horse.
Perhaps such humorous stories can help players be aware of accidental harm while also lightening their mood.
