Frequently Asked Questions
How many quests are in Tears of the Kingdom?
Tears of the Kingdom has 14 main quests, 136 side adventures, 235 side quests, 29 shrine quests, and 1000 Korok seed locations. Completing all main quests is required to reach the final boss, but side content is entirely optional and provides powerful rewards.
Do you need to complete side quests to beat TotK?
No, only main quests are required to reach the final boss. However, side quests reward you with rupees, armor, recipes, and unique weapons that make the game significantly easier. Side adventures like the Great Fairy quests unlock armor upgrades that are nearly essential for late-game content.
What is the best order to do main quests in TotK?
After completing the Great Sky Island tutorial, head to Lookout Landing and start Regional Phenomena. The recommended temple order is: Wind Temple (Rito Village), Water Temple (Zora Domain), Fire Temple (Goron City), Lightning Temple (Gerudo Town). This gives you the most useful sage abilities early.
What do you get for completing all shrines in TotK?
Completing all 152 shrines earns you the Ancient Hero Aspect armor set from the Goddess Statue at the Temple of Time on the Great Sky Island. Each shrine also gives a Light of Blessing — trade 4 at any Goddess Statue for a heart container or stamina vessel upgrade.
