7Hestu’s Concerns
The pleas for help from Koroks have taken on a more intricate nature in this installment, as they implore Link to aid them in reuniting with their companions. Fortunately, Link possesses a range of useful abilities and tools at his disposal, simplifying matters for us, although perhaps not under the most favorable conditions for the Koroks themselves.
One straightforward approach is to obtain a towing harness for your horse through Pony Points at the stable and attach your Korok to it. Alternatively, you can go all out by constructing a Zonai ship equipped withFlame Emittersand rockets, propelling the Korok to their friend at lightning speed. Whatever we can do to get thoseKorok seedsto Hestu!
6Great Fairies
In Tears of the Kingdom, enhancing your armor and clothing involves an amusing quest with the four Great Fairies of Hyrule. Each fairy is in need of a musical theme, requiring Link to bring the joy of music to their realm. Meet Beetz, the drummer, and Violynne, the violinist, among other whimsically named musicians.
To transport these musical talents to the Great Fairies, Link must construct various unconventional contraptions, which can lead to comical encounters with NPCs. After completing the task, Mastro, the jolly composer, joyfully exclaims a familiar Italian “Yahoo!” reminiscent of a beloved Nintendo character.
5’Solving’Shrines
Although shrines await Link’s problem-solving skills, our hero often has a different approach in mind. Rather than following the intended path, Link sticks to his own clever ideas. One such ingenious solution could involve attaching fans and wheels to a simple piece of wood, creating a monster truck to tread over everything in your path.

With these makeshift contraptions, Link can usually defy all obstacles and clear the shrine, bypassing the intended challenges. It’s not only immensely satisfying to complete the shrine in several unconventional ways, but also highly amusing to witness a certain elegance as Link zooms pasts intricate puzzles while seated on a rocket-propelled box.

By using Ultrahand to manipulate the terrain and then correctly aligning his forehead against the sign, our hero completes the job with distinctive finesse. Once Link aids Hudson and visits Tarrey Town, a delightful surprise awaits him—a plot of land to call his own! Make sure to really explore your options and unleash your architectural prowess to create the most extravagant mansion in all of Hyrule.
3The Mayoral Election
Upon arriving in Hateno Village, you’ll notice some changes since Link’s last visit. The town is now adorned with mushroom-themed decorations, and the villagers proudly wear fashionable Cece Brand clothing, curated by a local fashionista aspiring to become the mayor. Link actively supports Cece’s mayoral campaign, engaging in peculiar tasks like persuading neighboring villagers by offering themHylian Shrooms(a rather psychedelic endeavor).
However, he is eventually prompted to investigate Cece’s secret activities. In a midnight quest, Link discreetly follows her, only to discover her guilty pleasure: indulging in the vegetables grown by farmers who refuse to wear her clothing. This engaging storyline leads to satisfying results and rewards, making the quest thoroughly enjoyable.
2Infiltrating the Yiga
Donning the infamous Yiga Clan outfit never fails to elicit laughable reactions from every character you encounter. Usually, people are quick to scold Link for parading around in enemy attire, a faux pas he should know better than to commit. However, there’s one notable exception—interacting with actual Yiga Clan members. Once Link acquires the complete outfit, he can boldly waltz into their midst without raising suspicion.
Astonishingly, not a single member questions Link’s presence among them. Eavesdropping on their bewildered discussions over simple day-to-day tasks only reinforces the absurdity of how secure you are within their camp, even as they fervently chant “Link must fall!” It’s a hilarious indication of the Yiga Clan’s clumsiness and a reminder that sometimes, the most unexpected alliances can be the most comical.
1Master Kohga Of The Yiga Clan
Guess who’s back from the ashes? It’s none other thanMaster Kohga, the resurgent leader of the mischievous Yiga Clan. Following an encounter in the Depths, Link finds himself facing this formidable foe once again. As Link explores the depths further, Kohga repeatedly reappears, desperately trying to stop Link from interrupting his plans and engaging in one-on-one battles.
Kohga’s quirky dialogue and unique mannerisms have solidified him as one of the funniest bosses in the entire Zelda franchise. His penchant for unnecessary teleportation after delivering a one-liner and his hilariously terrible improvisation skills offer a glimmer of hope that he might not be an overly challenging boss. However, this relentless adversary keeps coming back, all while adding a touch of dance to his every word.
