There are somewhere in the region of 60 Side Adventures for you to dig into in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and you'll need to complete them all if you're aiming for 100% completion.

With this in mind, we'll be providing you with walkthroughs for the trickiest of them right here, alongside a full list of every side adventure available in the game.

Note that this guide is still very much a work in progress right now, so make sure to check back with us regularly as we add entries and provide links to walkthroughs where necessary.

Let's get started!

Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: All Side Adventures

What is a Side Adventure?

A Side Adventure is a brand new quest type introduced in Tears of the Kingdom. These quests are usually much longer than Side Quests and involve key NPCs, relate to the story, or unlock some special goodies. They also always have a story tied to them.

These are entirely optional, but as some rewards include upgrades for your Purah Pad, inventory expansion, and clothing upgrades, they're worth seeking out.
