How to Save Your Game in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom (TOTK)

How To Save Game Manually In Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom TOTK

To save your game in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom first Pause the game and then head to the System tab to Save your progress. Scroll down and check out the steps for better understanding.

  1. First, press the + button to Pause the game.
  2. After that, select the System option (Gear icon).
  3. And then hit the Save button to make sure your progress is safe and sound.

And that’s it, now whenever you load the save game you’ll start where you left off. However, there’ll be only one Manual save slot, which means making a new one will overwrite the old save. Also note, the manual Save option is disabled during boss fights, so if you exit the game, then you’ll have to start again.

Does Zelda TOTK have Auto-Save Option?

Yes, you’ll get to see an Auto Save option that you can enable by going through the Settings in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. However, this feature only works in certain situations and is not reliable. The game will save your progress automatically when you run into some particular events. Such as exploring a new area, coming across some new NPC, or collecting a Vital item and etc. Whenever you do any of these, you’ll see a pop-up message saying ‘Saving’. And whenever it does, you can exit the game and load from the Auto-Save. Also notice, there are 5 Auto-save slots where the game deletes the older ones whenever it saves a new progress.

    Clearing mid-game chapters in Duck Survival got frustrating for me when tanky mini-bosses start soaking up all my bullets. We need higher-tier weapons and constant Blueprint upgrades to clear those waves, but Diamonds won’t feel like enough if you rely purely on standard run rewards.
