Side Quests

Welcome to IGN's guide to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Side Quests.

Unlike previous Zelda games, Breath of the Wild spans a massive open world, and there are 76 Side Quests hiding in all corners of Hyrule - and can be tracked in Link's Adventure Log. These quests can be found by looking for characters that have a text box above their heads with a red !

Note that not all Side Quests are immediately available, as many can be found in major towns after the completion of a dungeon. The Side Quests listed below are in the same order as in the game's menu (an alphabetical listing is available via this wiki's menu).

Looking for Side Quests from the DLC? Visit our DLC Side Quests page for details on each mission, or click here to jump to the list down at the bottom of this page. You can also take a look at our guide to all Shrine quests if you're looking to tackle the Shrine locations.
