About Korok Evolution and Language

- What did Koroks evolve from?: Koroks evolved from Kokiri, who are the descendants of a humanoid race that was featured in Ocarina of Time, and after the events of Ocarina of Time and before the events of The Wind Waker, the Kokiri survived on the Great Sea and adapted to their new life by turning into the Koroks.
- Are there any Koroks underground?: No matter how much players look, there are no Koroks to be found in the Depths, as Koroks in TOTK are limited to the sky islands and the surface.
