Welcome to our Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Full Walkthrough Guide hub!
This Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Walkthrough — which includes All Shrine Locations, All amiibo Unlocks, All Korok Seed Locations, plus maps, Beginner's Advice, tips on Where To Go First, how to conquer Bosses, where to find the Best Armour and Weapons, and much more — will guide you through the Surface, Sky, and other regions of Hyrule on your quest to vanquish evil from the kingdom.
We awarded the game a sparkling 10/10 in our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom review, saying that it "does the impossible and makes Breath of the Wild feel like a proof of concept; it takes everything its predecessor does, improves upon every single aspect, and gives you even more freedom, an even bigger world, and tons more secrets to uncover."
Note: Please be aware that this Zelda: TOTK walkthrough is a work in progress and that — naturally — SPOILERS ABOUND, so beware if you want to experience the game completely fresh! For the first several weeks we will label any late-game areas and elements obscurely in this hub, but as always exercise caution while scrolling and clicking.
