Before Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom releases, players might want to complete some of the things they never finished in Breath of the Wild.





Before Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom releases, some players may want to go back and do everything they've left unfinished in its predecessor, Breath of the Wild. There's a massive amount of things to do and see in BOTW, some of which are easy to overlook or difficult to complete, and there are still secrets being discovered in BOTW 5 years after its release. Tears of the Kingdom releases on May 12 of 2023, leaving plenty of time for players to go back and scour Hyrule for everything they might have missed.


There are a number of objectives, both official and unofficial, in Breath of the Wild. There are a total of 76 different side quests to complete, some of which form extended questlines, in addition to 42 shrine quests and the 15 main quests. There are also 120 shrines, where players can complete challenges in order to obtain Spirit Orbs and rare loot. Players can also seek out a grand total of 900 Koroks in various hidden spots across Hyrule to exchange their Korok Seeds for more gear slots. In addition, things like minigames can offer a fun way to kill time and ignore Ganon in BOTW, and players can even add their own twists to the game for an additional challenge if they so wish.


The big objectives such as conquering the Divine Beasts, collecting every memory scene, and finishing out the main questline by defeating Ganon and saving Princess Zelda are things that players may have done numerous times before. However, finishing every small objective in BOTW might not be something they've done so often. There's no reward for completing the game to 100%, but it is a nice challenge and no small accomplishment. The time leading up to TOTK's release is a good opportunity to do things that players still have left in BOTW, and even if they don't have a particular objective, going back and playing through games before sequels release is still very fun.
