TotK Side Adventures: All 60 with Givers and Rewards
All 60 Tears of the Kingdom Side Adventures in one list, grouped by story: where each starts, who gives it and what you get, plus which ones to do first.
How many Side Adventures are in Tears of the Kingdom?
Tears of the Kingdom has 60 Side Adventures. The Adventure Log keeps them on their own tab, apart from the 139 side quests and the 31 Shrine Quests. They tend to be longer than side quests, many are chained so one opens the next, and the rewards include upgrades you use for the rest of the game.
