Koro Gyaku

Soon after "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" was launched, an act called koro gyaku (コロ虐) became a hot topic on social media.

Since Koro (コロ) and gyaku (虐) are short for Korokgu (コログ - "Korok") and gyakutai (虐待 - "abuse"), respectively, the literal meaning of koro gyaku is "Korok abuse."

In this game, there are many side quests where players take the character "Korok" to his friend's location, using a variety of flexible items.

At this time, Korok is often unintentionally abused (i.e., 'koro gyaku'), such as being dropped from high places, thrown into the water, or dragged on the ground.

While some players seem to intentionally do koro gyaku, according to the game developers, it was expected that Korok would be treated as such.
コロ虐

「ゼルダの伝説 ティアーズ オブ ザ キングダム」が発売して間もなく、「コロ虐」と呼ばれる行為がSNSで話題となりました。

「コロ」は本作登場キャラクターの「コログ」、「虐」は "abuse" を意味する「虐待」の略なので、「コロ虐」の文字どおりの意味は "Korok abuse" となります。

本作では「コログ」を友だちのところまで連れて行くサブクエストが多数用意されており、自由度の高いさまざまなアイテムを駆使してコログを運びます。

このとき、コログは高いところから落とされたり、水に落とされたり、地面を引きずられたり、意図せず虐待のような行為「コロ虐」となってしまうことがあります。

一部のプレイヤーの間では意図的な「コロ虐」も行われているようですが、ゲーム開発者の話によると、コログがそのような扱いを受けることは想定済みであったようです。

I usually attach it to the back of my horse because I'm lazy to make a cart.

Thank you for the corrections!

Haha, that's a good idea. I often use a rocket to carry it.
