To add on to the other explanations, and explain what, for some reason, no one seems willing to admit, torturing koroks is the number one game activity. The atrocities committed to these poor little golden-poop delivering seedlings is, frankly, appalling, and also great fun. YouTube korok torture for hours of mind-boggling horrors that really make you wonder if the human race is worth saving.
First you play Breath of the Wild and you unintentionally drop the rock on an early one, make it “oof” in pain and making you a bit guilty. Then you meet Hestu, you see a few dozens more of the crafty little bastards, and you start enjoying dropping stuff on them.
And then Tears of the Kingdom happens, you’ve seen literal hundreds of them by now, and now you’ve got an infinity of new ways to make them scream in terror.
I drop the rock on their head intentionally because dammit, I’m trying to save the world. Quit making me go through the bullshit to get seeds; do something to help me already. Knock it off!
Otherwise I don’t do anything negative to them or enjoy torturing them. I am at a point where I just skip the lazy “find my friend” guys, though, unless they’re on my way and close.
I would skip them pretty much every time, but you get two seeds instead of just one for their little task. Some of them are fun but others are tedious af.
To add to this: there are sidequests all over the game world to transport these plant dudes (koroks) to certain destinations. You typically do this by building some weird ingame contraptions and sometimes they get pretty wild.
But more to the point of the comic: players often make the machines larger and more complex so that they send the little plant guys super far and/or super fast (nowhere near their requested destination).
You can build “vehicles” by gluing parts together. The koroks are little criters you have to move from point A to point B to “save” them. And they act as a vehicle part.
Someone explain please?
(I got the title, but not the comic)

It’s a downward spiral.

You’re going to hell, and it’s totally worth it.

I’ve just maxed out my inventory from other korok seeds already
In LoZ: Tears of the Kingdom, you can build all sorts of machines, including ones with little plant dudes stapled to them

The rest is history.
