In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild there are a total of 76 Side Quests in the original base game. They take you practically through the whole of Hyrule and range from short errands to extensive collecting tasks to long quest chains like “On Expansion Course”, in which you build the entire city of Tarrey Town. Other Side Quests reward you with unique items such as the Thunder Helm, Sand and Snow Boots, Zora Leg Guards, Insulated Helm, Wilderness Set or Royal Horse Equipment.
On this page you will find all 76 Side Quests from Zelda: Breath of the Wild with client, starting point, requirements, solution and reward. We have organized the tasks by region so that you can easily connect them with our 100% walkthrough for Breath of the Wild. Particularly extensive tasks such as On expansion course, The treasure of the Gerudo, your own dream house or secrecy also have their own detailed guides.
How many Side Quests are there in Breath of the Wild?
The original base game contains 76 Side Quests. The free task “Xenoblade Chronicles 2” was later added with Update 1.3.3, while the expansion pass adds additional EX side quests. This allows the diary of a fully updated game to display more than 76 tasks. For this page we only count the 76 regular Side Quests of the original Breath of the Wild so that the list corresponds to the classic 100% walkthrough.
Side Quests should not be confused with the 42 shrine tasks. Shrine tasks are in their own tab of the journal and usually lead to a hidden shrine. Main tasks such as “The Legendary Fairy Spring” are also not included in the 76 Side Quests, even if some older lists incorrectly include them.

Side Quests for the thunder helmet
A particularly important quest chain can be found in Gerudo Town. After defeating Thunderblight Ganon, examine the Thunder Helm next to Riju and start “The Treasure of the Gerudo”. In order for Link to get the helmet, the problems of various residents must be solved. Particularly relevant are Noble Stones, The Molduga Heart, The Environmental Polluter and The Search for Barta. Once these tasks are completed, Riju will give Link the Thunder Helmet.
The helmet makes Link completely immune to lightning strikes, making it one of the most practical pieces of armor in the game. Our own Thunderhelm Guide will take you step by step through the entire quest chain.

Do you have to complete all 76 Side Quests for 100%?
For the 100.00% display on the world map, Side Quests do not count. Map progression in the base game is determined by Titans, Shrines, Koroks and discovered map locations. So you can theoretically reach 100.00% on the map, although numerous Side Quests are still open in the diary.
For one really complete score include the 76 Side Quests In our opinion, it is still mandatory. That’s why our 100% walkthrough covers not only card percentages but also reminders, Side Quests, shrine quests, armor, bosses, the Hyrule Handbook and other collectibles.
Why does my game show more than 76 Side Quests?
Breath of the Wild was expanded after its release. The crossover task “Xenoblade Chronicles 2” was added via a free update. Those who own the expansion pass will also receive several EX side quests, including treasure hunts for Majora’s Mask, the Korok Mask, the Travel Medallion, the Phantom Set, the Phantom Ganon Set and the Ancient Horse Equipment.
These tasks are not part of the original 76 and are therefore not counted on this page. You can find an overview of the additional content in our guide to the DLC content for Breath of the Wild.

Completed all 76 Side Quests – what is still missing for a complete game?
If you have actually completed all 76 Side Quests in Breath of the Wild, a large part of our completionist score is finished. For the built-in map progression you also need all 120 regular shrines, all 900 Koroks, the four Divine Beasts and all relevant map locations. In addition, our walkthrough also includes the 42 shrine tasks, all memories, armor, boss opponents, the Hyrule Compendium and the contents of the expansion pass.
It makes particular sense not to process the Side Quests at the very end, but to connect it directly to our Breath of the Wild Walkthrough. Many clients are located directly on important travel routes, stables or settlements, so that tasks such as “Escaped Chickens”, “Fire Lizard Hunt”, “Curry against the Cold” or “Fresh Frog Rain” can be completed without major detours during the natural journey through Hyrule.
