I don't know when he ends up where, but because I didn't follow the main quest for dozens of hours to begin with, I eventually gave in and started going that general direction to find Hestu.

He really was not obviously on the way though, so I then gave up at a certain point and looked him up after I'd already gathered like 90+ seeds. He was on an arbitrary path off of the road somewhat near the Lindor's Brow (I think that's what it's called) tower for me. If it weren't for me giving in and looking it up, I would have just followed the road on a horse and presumably never have found him until whenever it is he moves to Lookout Landing.

Like even where I am now, I presumably would not have him since I still haven't touched any of the temples (or at least not through the story. so even though I know where 3 of them are, I couldn't actually do them) if not for having looked up his location.
