Summary

• If the hundreds of hours of game before the final fight wasn't enough, there's more TOTK to play after you've beaten Ganondorf.
• Between the Compendium and completing your collections, completionists will find the most to do after the game.
• Your completion percentage after the final fight displays how much of the map you've explored, so be sure to uncover as much as you can.

So you’ve defeated Ganon and finished your first voyage through 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Legend of Zelda: T꧃ears of the Kingdom. As the adrenaline from your encounter begins to wane, and you reflect🦹 on your journey as the credits roll, you are overcome by a sense of emptiness and longing. “What now?”

Worry not, brave adventurer! There are still plenty more exciting memories to make on this v🎉isit to Hyrule. Many hours of collecting, monster-hunting, documenting, and cartography await if you aren’t ready to let go just yet, especially if you are meticulous and aspire to say you’ve been everywhere and done everything.

Updated on May 18. 2024 by Gabrielle Castania: Already rolled credits on TOTK but still want to get some extra life out of the game? Us too! Below is a list of a few of the things we did to keep TOTK's Hyrule enjoyable after we handled Ganondorf.

10 🧸 Make Monster Sculptures 𒈔

And Display Them Creatively In Tarrey Town

After meeting with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kilton and Koltin for the first time, Kilton will head to Tarrey Town, where he 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:teams up with Hudson🐲 to make sculptures of monsters, provided you give him a picture of them.

The monster 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:sculptures are surprisingly accurate, retaining the pose from the photogꩲraph an🐓d the specific type of monster, such as whether they’re wearing armor. You can get creative with the photos you take, and the monster will be directly replicated in the sculpture.

The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:bosses from the four temples, as well 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:as Ganondorf himself, can even be made into statues like this - you'd just nဣeed to stay alive long enough to snap ♐a picture.

9 🔯 Make Link The Best House Possible ꦜ

He Deserves A Place To Call Home (Again)

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Once Mattison leaves Tarrey Town for Gerudo Town, Hudson Construction will start offering Dream Homes. By purchasing a plot of land, you can 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:build Link a house just outside of Tarrey Town.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:You use Ultrahand to attach individual rooms together, such as a kitchen, living room, or even a Blessing Room with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a Hylia Statue, allowing you to customize the hou🌜se however you like. You also have the option ꧅to add a gallery, where you can have an image you’ve taken on your adventure using the Purah Pad turned into a painting.

8 Complete All The Coliseums 🍷

If you want to get your hands on some legacy items from Zelda’s past, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:such as Majora’s Mask, you’ll have to brave the six Coliseums located in the Depths and one north of the Great Plateau. 1ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ68澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Coliseums contain dang🐼erous monsters, such as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a Thunder Gleeok guarding the .

If you’re planning on collecting 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:all those Korok Seeds, you’ll want to head to the Forest Coliseum in particular to grab the , which shakes when one of the forest spirits is near. Though these Colis⭕eums may be a challenge to❀ take on and come out in one piece, it’s worth the challenge to earn these iconic items.

7 Fill Out The Hyrule Compendium ✨

Few things deliver a more consistent dopamine rush than watching all the entries in an in-game encyclopedia fill out gradually. The Hyrule Compendium enables just that kind of experience, and it returns in Tears of the Kingdom, utilizing one of its coolest devices: 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Purah Pad.

Not only is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:completing the Hyrule Compendium really satisfying, but it’s also a great way to ensure you’ve seen it all and aren’t in danger of any Tears of the Kingdom FOMO. You'll also get a nice little reward from Robbie for completing it - a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:golden paraglider fabric with the icons from the Compendium.

6 ꦗ 🍬 Wrap Up Side Quests

Just as in Breath of the🎃 Wild, you can practically make your way to the endgame the moment you clear the tutorial in Tears of the Kingdom — the game will last as long as you want. But, of course, this is not how the Nintendo Switch generation of Zelda games are meant to be played.

The real meat of the open-world entries is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:taking on quests that’ll send you 🍰far and wide across the vast and varied ecosystems of the game’s fabulous world. Some quests i🅷nvolve gathering collectibles and will span the entire game, and with Hyrule being as huge as it is, there’s a good chance you’ll have some lingering quests to grind out in the post-game.

5 ✃ Become A Master Equestrian 🎃

While Link is once again starting with a clean slate, having lost all his power-ups and abilities from Breath of the Wild, one thing that does carry over is your ho𒁃rseriding skills. That said, there’s no reason to turn a blind eye to some of the horses available in Tears of the Kingdom.

Throughout Hyrule, you’ll find the Giant White Stallion, the Skeletal Horse, , and, of course, the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:triumphant return of Epona. Any of these horses will make a fine addition to your stable (apart from the Skeletal horse, unfortunately) and will make long-distance treks across the landscape a lot more enjoyable. Yo🧸u can let them lead the way while enjoying🍷 the view, as they'll follow the path on their own, provided there is one.

4 Hunt Down Elite Monst꧅ers ꧋

While you’ll naturally ta🍃ke out the game’s more infamous bosses during the main quest, Tears of the Kingdom i༒s still full of overworld bosses that will present confrontations. You can take more improvised and player-specific approaches to defeating them, especially with the capabilities of the Zonai Devices.

Spread throughout Hyrule, you’ll encounter 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Taluses of all kinds, Gleeoks, Moldugas, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:and enemy Constructs that you can engage in challenging battles with. You’ve spent dozens — if not hundreds — of hours accumulating skills, collectibles, upgrades, and weapons. Where better to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:use these weapons than on some of the game’s toughest denizens?

3 𓆏 Conquer Every Shrine

There are a whopping 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:152 Shrines in Tears of the Kingdom — 32 more than there were in Breath of the Wild. You’ll find 120 of these🅷 mini-dungeons on the Hyrule map and 32 in the sky islands, and each one contains a puzzle or challenge for you to take on.

Answering the call of every Shrine in Tears of the Kingdom is a huge undertaking, and you wouldn't be the only one to have left a few before facing the final battle against Ganondorf. If you manage to locate and complete all 152, you'll be rewarded with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a special armor set - one that you'll want wait to see for yourself.

2 Ex💫plore Every Inch Of The Map

Nintendo has truly outdone itself and created an absolutely dense, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:sprawling world for you to explore — and explore you should. Once you beat the main quest and reload your now-starred save file, you’ll notice that your map of Hyrule now has a completion percentage that correlates with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the places you've visited, collectibles you've found, and more.

This is far and away the most daunting task you can complete in such a boundless game, but the experience is absolutely rewarding, both in terms of the rewards you’ll receive and the satisfaction that comes from knowing you’ve truly plumbed the depths of the game (get it?🌳).

1 𝔍 Experiment With Zonai D⭕evices

When you’ve played the game enough that the novelty of the story and all the twists and turns therein has worn off, and you know Hyrule like your own backyard, experimenting with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Zonai Devices will be the element of Tears of the Kingdom driving the most 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:longevity and community engagement.

The Zonai devices take Breath of the Wild's playful sandbox idea and inject it with infinitely more possibilities that are just teeming to be discovered. You could use them to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:make a mech and take out hordes of enemies like they're nothing or make 🔴aircraft to make traversing the skies of Hyrule a breeze. The only limit is your imagination, how many Zonai devices you have, and how many energy cells you have.
