Quick Links
Not everyone is playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for the story, but Nintendo has put 🐓so much effort into craftin💝g an interesting and engaging world for the player, it would be a shame not to have a touching story to match.
However, did you know that not all players are getting the real finale when they complete Tears of the Kingdom? It's true! Unless you followed the steps we detail below, you're not really seeing how things end. Nintendo is sneakily encouraging you to follow their crumbs and eat up the story and quests they've planned, even though you could get to G꧙anondorf and finish the game right afteജr the tutorial section.
Beware of major spoilers bel🌄ow for the Tears of the Kingdom story!
Step One: Find All The Dragon's Tears
The Dragon's Tears are a special kind of collectible in Tears of the Kingdom. Almost all of them are marked by a large Geoglyph. It forms a familiar shape that can be seen from the air, like the Purah Pad or the .
Each time you find a Dragon's Tear, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:you'll be treated to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a cutscene that reveals more 🙈of thꦏe story. The final Dragon's Tear isn't marked by a Geoglyph. Once all eleven Geoglyphs have been found, tꦑhe location of the final Te꧟ar will be revealed.
Step Two: Acquire The Master Sword
The is Link's iconic weapon, so you need to be wielding it for your final battle in order for the True 🍸Ending to unlock. You don't literally have to strike the final blow with it, but you should definitely have it.
There are a couple of ways to learn where the Master Sword is. If you've found all of the Geoglyphs, the final Dragon's Tear will reveal it. Alternatively, you can heal the Great Deku Tree in Korok Forest. Once he's feeling more like himself, he'll reveal where�😼� the Master Sword is and give you the quest marker for it (which is pretty convenient and you don't get just by finding the Dragon's Tears).
Either way, you learn that the Master Sword is on the top of the Light Dragon's head.
To get it out, you'll need a lot of Stamina.
That's partially because you'll need to do a lot of gliding to reach the Light Dragon. Completing the regional phenomena quest for the Rito and receiving the Avatar of Tulဣin is a big helﷺp, since that will give you gusts of wind that help you travel further distances while gliding. You may know from experience that it's hard enough to shoot at the Dragons in Tears of the Kingdom, let alone land on their back. Unfortunately, that's what you have to do!
However, the main reason you need a lot of Stamina is that the effort of pulling out the blade from the Light Dragon's skull will slowly drain your Stamina, just like 168澳洲幸♔运5开奖网:it drained your Hearts in Breath of the Wild. You need at least two full green Stamina wheels (meaning, at least 5 Stamina Vessels on top of what you star👍t the game with) in order to pull out the Master Sword. Otherwise, the Light Dragon just shakes you off like a gnat.

Step Three: Complete All Main Quests
The third step is fairly straightforward: complete all of the ma💝in quests in Tears of the Kingdom. If you've worked on the first two steps at all, you're part of the way there.
In total, there are 24 main quests; the final one is your showdown with Ganondorf. Y꧒ou should complete all 23 of the other quests before taking on the Demon King.

Step Four: Beat The Game
The last step is always the most daunting, right? All you have to do now is defeat the Demon King himself: Ganondorf.
Head into the chasm beneath Hyrule Castle to get started; there's a stone pillar and you'll discover Gloom's Approach. Following the tunnels and paths, you'll be led to the Forgotten Foundation, the Imprisoning Chamber, and then Gloom's Lair. Once you defeat Ganondorf's army there, you can progress into Gloom's Origin and find Ganondorf himself.
Difference Between The Regular Ending And The True Ending
Getting the "True" Ending in Tears of the Kingdom doesn't mean that the events of the story change. It just means that, after the credits roll, the player is treated to an additional cutscene, which 🦩is almost 6 minutes long. We won't spoil it 💫here for you, but, in our humble opinion, it's worth the effort.
