Welcome to Mojo Plays!
00:10
And is it just me, or are there a lot of missing quests in Tears of the Kingdom?
00:17
Throughout Link's latest adventure, you'll come across NPCs that either cannot be helped
00:21
or can, but don't offer a traditional side quest or reward.
00:26
We've covered the worst, and we've covered the best, but for this list, we'll be looking
00:30
at places where it feels like something's missing.
00:33

00:42
A Lonesome Father
00:49
When you make it into the underground Gerudo shelter, you'll likely notice a jail cell
00:53
with a single occupant.
00:55
This man is Wobbin, who was tossed behind bars for trying to sneak into the town.
00:59
However, he only did so in order to see his wife Perda and their daughter, Acklette.
01:05
The whole purpose of Wobbin is to point you in the direction of the Gerudo secret shop,
01:09
where Perda works and where Link can purchase some new armor.
01:13
Many players have wondered why we can't somehow free Wobbin from his cell.
01:17
The crime obviously isn't malicious, and he could have set up camp somewhere beyond
01:21
the walls, like at the Karakara Bazaar, but even after completing the region's dungeon,
01:26
Wobbin is doomed to be held captive.
01:32
Family Recipes
01:36
Dorian was one of the more tragic NPCs in Breath of the Wild.
01:40
Once a member of the Yiga, his wife was murdered for him turning good, leaving him to raise
01:45
two daughters alone.
01:47
All three of them got side quests in the first game, yet none of them do here.
01:55
It isn't just that there are no quests tied to them.
01:59
There very easily could have been.
02:01
Underneath the Kakariko Village well, you can find a secret garden kept by Dorian's
02:05
late wife, and her journal explaining each family member's favorite recipes.
02:10
For most of us, that signified that we should make and deliver those meals, but trying to
02:15
do so causes absolutely nothing to happen.
02:24
The Missing Cook
02:33
This one you can find fairly early in the game.
02:36
After giving the cook Bermano an apple for the Today's Menu quest at Lookout Landing
02:40
and returning later, you'll find the NPC Dion.
02:44
He tells Link that Bermano went to Hyrule Castle but has yet to return.
02:48
Finding a missing NPC and perhaps defending them against monsters is classic Zelda, but
02:54
that's not what happens here.
02:56
You can find Bermano in the dining hall, next to a cooking pot, trying to remember the ingredients
03:00
for a recipe.
03:01
The recipe in question is actually plastered on a nearby wall.
03:06
And that's it.
03:07
You don't tell Bermano his friend is looking for him, or even give him the meal.
03:12
It seems he's only there to teach Link a new recipe.
03:18
The Hidden Cucco
03:26
Kaifa works at the South Aqala stable and is a bit down over her missing Cucco.
03:31
She says it's too shy to lay eggs on its own, and she thinks she hears it crying for help
03:36
at night.
03:37
Most of us completely ignored that first fact, jumped straight into the nearby well, and
03:42
tried to get the poor bird out with either an updraft or some zonai contraption.
03:46
But if you do, Kaifa won't take notice or even say anything different.
03:57
You're meant to throw another Cucco down there so that the missing one isn't shy and will
04:02
start laying you eggs.
04:04
But it feels like Kaifa is the one we're meant to help.
04:06
And it's weird Nintendo didn't even write a reaction for something many of us were bound
04:10
to try.
04:16
A Devoted Admirer
04:22
In between games, Zelda moved into Link's house in Hateno Village and had quite the
04:27
impact on the townspeople, even opening a school.
04:30
One of the children who attends the school is Karen, and when she's not in class or at
04:35
home, she runs over to Zelda's house to see if the princess has returned.
04:39
Every single day.
04:44
It feels like we should be able to do something here, at the very least help her better understand
04:48
what happened to her idol.
04:50
Karen is also the daughter of Mayor Reed, who gets a handful of his own quests.
04:55
That should make her the most quote-unquote "important" child NPC in the town, but outside
05:00
of helping Simon teach all the kids, you can't help her.
05:08
Matchmaker
05:20
Within the sewers of Gerudo Town, you'll find bottles floating down the stream with letters
05:24
from Caliban, a lonely Gerudo looking for her true love.
05:28
You'll find her in the shelter above, and if you get one of the bottles back to her,
05:32
she'll think you're the man she's been longing for.
05:35
She'll then make you meals each time you return to her, although prior to beating the lightning
05:40
temple, they'll be spoiled meals due to the supply shortage.
05:47
While that is a sort of reward, it doesn't exactly feel like we're helping her.
05:52
In fact, Link's just taking advantage to get some free food.
05:55
A regular quest would have you help her find actual love, so it feels like there's a second
06:00
half missing here.
06:06
Unlucky in Love
06:13
Speaking of Gerudo ladies looking for love, Ashai's Vo and Yu class returns from Breath
06:19
of the Wild.
06:20
This time, Link can help out in the Adult class, acting as a partner in scenarios for
06:24
each of the three students.
06:26
One is too shy to talk to him without his face covered, one needs a noble pursuit drink
06:31
from the canteen, and the other needs to see a ring flower garland from Kakariko Village.
06:43
While you can help them, this isn't a quest, and you get no reward for doing so, which
06:48
does feel a bit odd.
06:50
You can see changes in demeanor if you talked to the characters later, but fulfilling these
06:54
requirements only leads to a tiny bit of worldbuilding.
07:03
The Colossal Fossils
07:14
One of the biggest lingering questions from Breath of the Wild concerned the history of
07:18
the Leviathans, three gigantic whale-like skeletons.
07:22
So when we found the NPC Lune, who mentioned she'd be tracking them down, we thought we'd
07:27
finally learn.
07:29
Unfortunately, Lune's side quest gives us nothing in terms of answers, and so we expected
07:35
a follow-up quest to explain them after she showed us their locations, but no such quest
07:39
was ever given.
07:48
Many players retain these three are deities from past games, and are only easter eggs.
07:53
That still doesn't explain them in-game, nor does it explain other giant remains.
07:59
There are massive bones all over Hyrule, gigantic rib cages sticking out of the ground, spinal
08:05
columns buried in caves, and the like.
08:08
Other historic secrets, like the Gerudo's 8th heroine, are explored, but this remains
08:13
a mystery.
08:22
Madison's New Home
08:33
Another follow-up quest we expected to see was for Madison in her new home.
08:37
You first meet the Gerudo girl in Tarrytown, where you help her parents say goodbye as
08:41
she goes off to her new life.
08:43
It's a very touching quest, and honestly one of the best in the game, but it made us think,
08:48
"Oh, we helped her say goodbye to one life, and now we'll help her get used to another
08:52
one."
08:53
Not the case.
08:58
While you can find Madison in Gerudo Town afterwards, she's doing fine on her own.
09:03
The hot air balloon she arrived in, which you helped her father make, made her instantly
09:07
popular with the other kids.
09:09
Guess she doesn't need us anymore.
09:15
A Flailing Partner
09:26
Potential Princess Sightings consists of 12 connected side quests for the Lucky Clover
09:30
Gazette, which means you see a whole lot of the Rita Reporter, Pin, while completing it.
09:36
Afterwards, Tracy will tell you that Pin, feeling a bit dejected since you did most
09:41
of the work, has gone to Wash's Bluff in search of a way to improve himself.
09:45
When you find him there, he speaks of a bard, an obvious nod to Cas from the first game,
09:50
and how he hopes to find similar inspiration here for his reporting.
10:00
We expected something here in order to actually help him, or at the mention of Cas, a way
10:05
to understand his mysterious absence.
10:08
Not only do we get no explanation as to the whereabouts of one of Breath of the Wild's
10:12
best characters, but we also can't help one of this game's best characters.
10:17
Sorry Pin.
10:22
Have you come across any other similar instances?
10:25
Share them with us in the comments, and don't forget to check out these other great videos!
