Strategy Guide: Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – 100% Completion Checklist – July 1, 2026

Tears of the Switch 2 Edition is the perfect excuse to 100% Hyrule. Here’s the complete checklist.

Collectibles:

• 152 Shrines — All grant a Blessing of Light. 168 total needed for all hearts + stamina
• 1,000 Korok Seeds — Use the Korok Mask (Great Hyrule Forest) for auto-detection
• 152 Lightroots — One per shrine, in the Depths. Each lights up a massive area
• 30 Dragon Tears — Memory locations. Complete all 30 for the secret ending
• 46 Side Adventures — Major questlines. Some are missable

Armor sets:

• 36 armor sets (72 pieces). Upgrade each to 4 stars for the True Hero bonus
• Fierce Deity set — Find 3 Link statues across Hyrule
• Phantom Armor — Treasure chests in the Depths
• Majora’s Mask — Treasure chest in the Depths, north of Central Hyrule

Completion order:

1. Shrines (grants hearts/stamina for everything else)
2. Lightroots (lights up the Depths for easier exploration)
3. Side Adventures (unlocks fast travel points)
4. Korok Seeds (inventory expansion)
5. Armor sets (upgrade last, requires rare materials)

Pro tip: Use the Purah Pad sensor to track shrines and Lightroots simultaneously.
