The most obviousZeldacomparisonare the Koco. InSonic Frontiers, players will come across several of these little stone critters. Just like the Korok seeds, Koco must be found around the map. They can appear anywhere but tend to favor the ruined buildings and stone columns dotted around the islands ofSonic Frontiers.
The Koco seem to bea part of the mystery thatSonic is trying to uncoverwhile he rescues his friends. With Sage being mostly unhelpful when questioned about things, players must progress in the story and collect Koco to reveal the truth behind the cute stone babies. The Koco can then bereturned to the Elder Koco in exchange for a boost in speedor anincreased ring-carrying capacity. Elder Koco is not alone in boosting Sonic’s stats, as he has a counterpart elsewhere on the map namedHermit Koco.
Hermit Koco will take any of the seedsfound either fishing, defeating enemies, or discovered by destroying breakable objects. These two fruits have different purposes and will increase a separate stat. The spiky seeds, which are red, willincrease Sonic’s power, while the smooth seeds, which are blue, willincrease his defensive stat.
An easy way to find both seeds quickly is to locate Big the Cat. As a reward for tokens won while fishing, players can choose to trade them in for both seed types.
However, players must first find the Elder or Hermit Koco to upgrade Sonic’s abilities. There are several across each of the maps, and later theycan also be used as fast travel points.
