00:00 Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we are showcasing the 10 best side quests in The Legend of Zelda

00:10 Tears of the Kingdom.

00:18 Whether it's because they feature great characterization, earn you an awesome reward,

00:23 or are just plain fun, these are the best side adventures to track down in Tears of

00:28 the Kingdom.

00:29 However, there are plenty of others we had to leave off the list, so be sure to head

00:33 to the comments and let us know what your favorite side quest was.

00:46 The Dive Ceremonies

00:54 Some armor sets can be a bit of a pain to unlock, but the glide armor is not one of

00:58 them.

00:59 Within the Sky Islands, Link can find three tests that task him with diving through groups

01:03 of light rings from an incredible height.

01:05 One is at the Courage Island of Central Hyrule's Sky, one at Bravery Island of the North Hyrule

01:11 Sky Archipelago, and one at Valor Island of the South Lanayru Sky Archipelago.

01:17 The diving mechanics of Tears are always a blast, so these ceremonies are a joy to conquer.

01:22 More importantly, the glide armor you earn makes maneuvering while diving smoother, and

01:27 therefore more fun than it already was.

01:30 Plus, wearing a twice upgraded full set negates all fall damage, which is just too useful

01:36 in a game where you're constantly hurling towards the ground.

01:46 Serenading the Great Fairies

01:48 In Breath of the Wild, you unlocked access to each Great Fairy by paying increasingly

01:53 larger sums of rupees, which was actually pretty lame.

01:57 Comparatively, accessing them in Tears is much more enjoyable.

02:01 Each of the four Great Fairies wants to hear a specific instrument, which requires Link

02:05 to track down members of the Hylian band, the Stabletrotters.

02:09 Mastro and Violin are found at the Woodland Stable, but the Conductor will tell you locations

02:14 for the other three.

02:15 Side quests to get them to rejoin aren't too taxing, and it's great seeing each instrument

02:20 added to the performances for each fairy.

02:23 It's also delightful hearing them play Epona's song every time you visit a stable.

02:33 But the undeniable best perk of doing this is being able to upgrade your armor to the

02:37 max.

02:45 Misko's Treasure, The Fierce Deity

02:56 Many armor sets in Tears of the Kingdom pay homage to past versions of Link.

03:00 Most of them are found in chests in the depths, with their locations being revealed by maps

03:05 found on Sky Islands.

03:07 The Fierce Deity armor, on the other hand, gets its own side quest in the form of a scavenger

03:11 hunt.

03:12 After completing Misko's Cave of Chests, a message in a bottle tells you to head to

03:16 the bedchamber of Akala's Red-Crowned Citadel, the Skull's Left Eye, and an old stump in

03:21 Hyrule Field.

03:23 The mystery of the exact locations and what you'll find there makes things a bit more

03:27 fun.

03:28 But the armor also grants you an attack boost and can earn you the Fierce Deity Sword, one

03:33 of the strongest two-handed weapons in the game.

03:36 Plus, Link just looks so cool.

03:42 Team Cece, or Team Reed

03:51 While the name of this quest implies a choice, the linear outcome is still delightful, as

03:56 is anything that has to do with the cozy Hateno Village.

04:00 When Link first arrives, there will be obvious strain between the traditional Mayor Reed

04:04 and the flamboyant fashion designer Cece.

04:07 This strife will open up several smaller quests, as both think they are the best fit to run

04:12 the town.

04:13 While finding the eight Reed supporters is a bit tedious, the other portions all deal

04:17 with the two competitors growing to better understand one another.

04:21 Reed could do with a little innovation, while Cece must admit the town's strong foundation

04:25 in farming.

04:26 The outcome, where they agree to co-lead, is pretty wholesome.

04:34 Infiltrating the Yiga Clan

04:40 While you do have to track down their armor set to make it inside, it is more than worth

04:44 doing so to explore the Yiga Clan hideout.

04:47 Instead of having to stealth your way through like in the first game, you can roam freely

04:51 here.

04:52 The silly henchmen have some of the most humorous dialogue in the game.

04:56 One here even tells you some members dress up as trees to ambush Link.

05:00 There are also great rewards including a shrine and custom deadly vehicle designs you

05:05 can purchase.

05:07 More importantly though, is gaining access to the clan's combat training.

05:11 Within a set time, defeating three enemies earns new paraglider fabric, six gets you

05:16 the hands-free earthquake attack, and nine gets you the lightning helm, granting immunity

05:21 to electric damage.

05:30 Create the Typhlo Ruins

05:37 Who doesn't love a good riddle?

05:39 Well, how about four?

05:41 In Breath of the Wild, we couldn't fully appreciate Typhlo Ruins as they were surrounded

05:45 by mystical darkness.

05:47 But in Tears, players could pore over and further theorize about its Zonai Ruins.

05:52 Not only does the location have lore significance, but it holds a riddle for each of the four

05:57 main sages.

05:58 Each brain teaser corresponds to some of the surrounding statues, and uses a specific

06:02 sage ability around them.

06:04 These riddles add a bit of fun and a layer of interactivity to a place we already wanted

06:09 to investigate.

06:10 Completing them also gets you several valuable gems, and the Dusk Claymore, which on top

06:15 of being a cool Twilight Princess nod, is pretty dang powerful.

06:28 The Mysterious Eight

06:36 One of the biggest mysteries in Breath of the Wild concerned the seven heroines of Gerudo

06:40 history.

06:42 Players learned of a secret eighth, though the nature of their existence was a big mystery

06:46 until Tears.

06:48 Inside the Gerudo town shelter, Link can meet the historian Rotana.

06:52 After completing one quest for her, he'll need to track down seven orbs.

06:57 Some are lying around town, while others take a bit more effort.

07:00 But with each piece of the puzzle, our desire to uncover the mystery grew.

07:04 Turns out, the eighth heroine was actually a hero, who helped aid the seven long ago,

07:09 but wasn't allowed the spoils of victory due to being male.

07:13 You can help yourself to the bounty left to honor him, which includes Gerudo weapons,

07:17 gems, and 300 rupees.

07:27 Madison's Independence

07:34 The most fulfilling side quest in Breath of the Wild saw Link help build an entire community

07:39 with Hudson.

07:40 The construction extraordinaire returns in Tears, still married to the Gerudo Ronson,

07:45 and the two now have a daughter named Madison.

07:47 Sadly, it's Gerudo tradition for children of a certain age to leave their homes and

07:52 venture to the desert.

07:54 During the quest, you'll help Madison say goodbye to her home in her own way, as well

07:58 as help Hudson say goodbye by building a hot air balloon for her to travel in.

08:03 The resulting scene is touching to say the least.

08:06 Afterwards, you'll be able to build your own home on a cliff overlooking Tarrytown,

08:10 but it's the emotional gratification that makes this one special.

08:18 The Lomai Labyrinths

08:25 Just like in Breath of the Wild, the Lomai Labyrinths are the most entertaining shrine

08:29 quest you can find in Tears.

08:31 At the three gloom-covered labyrinths on the surface, Link must follow a trail of pine

08:36 cones left by a researcher to make it to the center.

08:39 Doing so earns access to a corresponding labyrinth in the sky.

08:43 These are where the true fun begins.

08:45 None of them have a floor, but feature low gravity so Link can paraglide through the

08:49 maze.

08:51 After activating all of their hidden terminals, Link can then dive from the sky all the way

08:56 to the depths, where a Flux Construct 3 awaits with a piece of the Evil Spirit armor.

09:02 Every single aspect of these is so much fun, we wish there were 10 more.

09:14 Potential Princess Sightings

09:21 While the Great Fairy quests branch out of this one, there is so much else to report

09:26 on for the Lucky Clover Gazette.

09:28 In the Hebra region, Link can sign on as a reporter for the paper and track down news

09:33 stories about Zelda at every stable.

09:35 Granted, some are better than others.

09:37 Our personal favorites involved exposing a fake psychic cuckoo and clearing a cave of

09:42 monsters without any gear or weapons.

09:44 Regardless of which ones you prefer, this quest does a lot to further build up the world

09:49 as well as add some subtle characterization for the princess.

09:52 Plus, you get all kinds of fantastic rewards as you go, including boatloads of money, a

09:59 rare new horse, and the Froggy armor set, which grants you slip resistance when climbing

10:04 wet surfaces.
