FAQ

Breath of the Wild quest questions

What is the best side quest in Breath of the Wild?

From the Ground Up is the favorite for many players: you help build Tarrey Town from nothing and get a big reward at the end.

Start the Hylian Homeowner quest in Hateno Village. Bolson sells you the house for rupees and bundles of wood, then you can furnish it.

A puzzle or riddle in the world that reveals a hidden shrine when you solve it. Kass’s songs hint at many of them.

Yes. Beating Ganon returns you to just before the final fight, so you can keep exploring and finish quests.

No. Only Destroy Ganon is needed to see the ending. The rest make the final fight easier and tell the story.
