InThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the world is - once again - in peril. The return of the Demon King means that everyone is a little bit worried about what’s going to happen, and whether or not the kingdom of Hyrule itself will survive this event.

Despite all of this doom and gloom, however, Link has some very important things to take care of before saving the world again. Whether it be because you want to put off completing the main story, or if it’s just because Link really doesn’t have a care in the world, here are a bunch of things you can go and do before facing the end of the world.
7Help Someone With Their Plush Problems
Along your adventures through Hyrule, you may bump into a young lady and her wagon of Sand Seal Plushies. Talking to her will startle her, startling the horse too, and sends all of those plushes flying out of the wagon.
Link can take part in a little gameto help her collect all of the plushes, which is just lovely of him. Do it again? Of course, just scare her over and over, and Link can ignore everything else while he goes around picking up adorable Sand Seals indefinitely.
6Do A Little Racing Course
In Tears of the Kingdom,there are many familiar locations you may go visitthat were in Breath of the Wild. One of these notable locations is Tarrey Town, which Link helped build in the previous game. Here, you can find a little soon-to-be racing course.
After showing them how a Steering Stick can be used to control a device, Link will be driving around a makeshift course to beat the high score. Wind blowing in his hair, glory and riches to his name - maybe someone else should go deal with Ganondorf.
5Help An Old Man Find His Horse
Throughout the game, everyone in Lookout Landing is gearing up for the big fight, expanding in research, preparation, and general worry. However, the old man that runs the little stable at the gate? His horse ran away.

Link can either continue preparing for the final confrontation, as is expected of him -or,he can go on a little excursion to find this man’s horse somewhere in Hyrule field. A horse is an irreplaceable companion, after all. Don’t stoop to Ganondorf’s level; go find that horse.
4Underground Lynel Fight Club? Bring It On
Josha’s research will have you delving into the Depths, learning about what’s down there, what the structures could mean, and figuring out if there’s anything related to the Upheaval or the Demon King.
There may very well be some answers down there somewhere, but Link knows whatisdown there, and that’s a Lynel Arena. In one of the hidden away colosseums, you will have to face Lynel after Lynel after Lynel… a tough fight, but when treasure awaits at the end of it, surely it’s worth the detour.
3Dye Your Outfits So You Can Look Cool
Being the hero of Hyrule can be tough, as everyone will have plenty of expectations for you. What weapons you carry, what powers you possess, what selfless acts you’re willing to commit to. However, the biggest expectation is: what does the hero wear?

Pop down to Hateno Village’s Dye Shop and get Link looking as fancy as ever. Want a yellow shirt? Absolutely. Green pants? Go for it. Maybe a little red cape for your hero-endeavors? Of course. While you’re at it, go ahead and get a nice, custom-made Paraglider. The kingdom can wait.
2Settle Some Political Disputes
Speaking of Hateno Village, you may come across some unrest amongst the residents. Well, in particular, between the Mayor and Cece, the fashion icon. Both will bicker about their views of the village and how they’re helping it to be the best it can be.Then begins a vote, in which they’ll both want Link’s help.
Forget the end of the world, this is Hateno Village we’re talking about! Dig in and get those scoops in order to put an end to this dispute. There can only be one winner, and where there’s a vote, Link is going to interject on an unnecessary level.
1Build A Lovely Dream Home
There are enough people losing sleep over the fate of Hyrule and the wrath of the Demon King, but Link? Link is losing sleep purely because he lacks a bed.
Once you’ve helped out with Mattison in Tarrey Town,you can go ahead and buy some land. Is buying land in a doomed kingdom cheaper? Maybe… anyway, get some land for yourself and then Link can get absolutely lost in contractor work and build a house of his own.
A three-story house with a rooftop pool? A bungalow with a little guest house? Maybe just some botanical gardens and a place for all your horses? Whatever that dream, make it come true - who knows how long the kingdom has left.
