Koroks are small, leaf-masked forest spirits from The Legend of Zelda series, best known in Breath of the Wild from 2017, where hundreds hide across Hyrule and reward players with Korok Seeds. Their high-pitched voices and gentle, playful design made them fan favourites, and short clips of their reactions began circulating among Zelda players and editors as reaction sounds. The hurt squeak works because it is instantly recognisable to Zelda fans while still sounding cute to anyone else, so it continues to appear in gaming edits, streams and short-form videos.

The high-pitched squeak a Korok makes when hurt in The Legend of Zelda, used by creators for cute damage reactions, fails and lighthearted gaming edits.
The short clip captures a Korok's startled, high-pitched yelp when it takes damage, a squeaky little cry that sounds more surprised than pained. Lasting less than a second, it has a soft, cartoonish tone with a quick rise and fall, like a tiny forest spirit letting out an involuntary squeak. Because Koroks are famously cute and harmless in The Legend of Zelda, hearing one get hurt feels unexpectedly funny rather than harsh, which makes the sound perfect for softening a fail or adding a playful wince to an edit. It lands as a gentle, almost sympathetic reaction instead of a dramatic injury noise.
