Either way, there’s a decent chunk of content waiting off the beaten path of Link’s quest to bonk Calamity Ganon on the head. Here are some Breath of the Wild quests worth seeing before The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom hits.

We can start with the easy one, as it’s the main reason I came back to Breath of the Wild. I imagine the same holds true for others too.

Through retracing their steps and undertaking the accomplishments they did 100 years ago, you get to relive moments of their lives. And those little snippets are wonderful, eventually culminating in a new dungeon and one heck of a new boss fight. While I wasn’t as keen on
