Zelda Tears of the Kingdom walkthrough and tips

Our in-progress walkthrough for Tears of the Kingdom.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the Nintendo Switch is a direct sequel of Breath of the Wild and sees us return to its open world version of Hyrule.

In Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom you once again embody the Link known as the Hero of the Wild as he's launched into another quest to save Hyrule from destruction. This time, however, you won't just be exploring the land of Hyrule, but soaring through its skies and plummeting into its depths.

Our in-progress Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom walkthrough will soon take you through every main quest the game has to offer. You’ll also find links to all of our other Tears of the Kingdom guides on this page and some useful tips to help you on your new adventure.

If, however, you’re still unsure on whether you want to take up the Master Sword once again, visit our Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom review.

On this page:

While the beginning of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is more linear when compared to Breath of the Wild, it soon opens up and allows you to explore Hyrule freely.

The game properly begins on the Great Sky Island where you’ll get to experiment with Link's new abilities before returning to the ground level of Hyrule. We recommend following the main questline up until you get the Paraglider before you properly start adventuring across Hyrule since this item is vital to your journey.

Once you have the Paraglider, you can either continue following the game's storyline, seek out other main quests, seek out shrines, complete side adventures or simply venture across Hyrule to your heart's content.
