The Complete Official Guide

Working closely with Nintendo®, we have created the authoritative, all-encompassing guide that this game so richly deserves.

When focusing on the main objectives, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is about 59 Hours in length. If you're a gamer that strives to see all aspects of the game, you are likely to spend around 238 Hours to obtain 100% completion.

To beat Tears of the Kingdom, you technically only need to defeat the game's final boss: Demon King Ganondorf. Much like Breath of the Wild, it's possible to do that very early into the game. Unlike Breath of the Wild, you can't quite do it from the very start of the game, though.

To achieve that 100% completion, Smallant collected 1,000 Koroks, solved 152 shrines, completed 253 quests, fully upgraded 135 pieces of armor, and completed all dungeons, towers, and Lightroots.

Although the Triforce is never directly mentioned in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, there is an argument to be made that it is actually in Zelda's possession. Despite being perhaps the most significant artifact in the entire Zelda franchise, the Triforce has faded from prominence in recent titles.

So Link is about 123 - 127 years old in Tears of the Kingdom. Aragorn is 87 years old during the events of The Lord of the Rings, so youthful, but aged swordsmen abound in fantasy.

In an emailed response, Aonuma wrote that in Tears of the Kingdom, "we were able to implement all of the elements that we wanted to achieve in this world and this story, so there will not be any DLC. Please continue to enjoy the vast world of Hyrule."

The end is a dead end: If you want to keep playing (and you probably will), you have to pick up from before the final quest is complete, which suggests that completion was never really the point.

Summary. Beating The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom doesn't allow players to continue the game, but they can pick up where they left off before taking on the final boss. Players can still participate in side quests and activities after beating the game, making it worth completing.

What is the final main quest in Tears of the Kingdom? ›

“Destroy Ganondorf” is the final main quest in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

In an emailed response, Aonuma wrote that in Tears of the Kingdom, "we were able to implement all of the elements that we wanted to achieve in this world and this story, so there will not be any DLC.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom doesn't mark the end of the entire franchise, as the Zelda series has a history of showing Link's triumphs, failures, and timeline splits. Tears of the Kingdom didn't create a time loop or bring the timeline back to Skyward Sword, contrary to speculation.

Based on all of this information, Tears of the Kingdom is clearly bigger. There are two additional layers of Hyrule to explore, with the Depths being the size of the full surface map. With more nooks and crannies to explore on the surface, the game is over twice as large as Breath of the Wild in terms of content.
