There is no shortage of Side Quests in Zelda BOTW. Considering Breath of the Wild is an open-world game, it only makes sense that the game would give you more things to do after you beat it. Just completing all 120 Shrines and the DLC can take you several hours. And if that isn’t enough then you can always help around the local NPCs. From taming wild horses to cooking hidden recipes, there are a ton of things that you can do in this game. So below is the complete list of all 76 Side missions that you can do in Zelda Breath of the Wild (BOTW) and the locations where you can find them.
