Find the Camera

It would be unfortunate to wander through Hyrule without the chance to remember the most scenic locales that you discover. Finding the camera to take pictures is a side quest in itself, and you can begin by venturing into the Lookout Landing in the center of the map and getting the job done in the Depths quest.

The quest is a short one in comparison to some others, where Link forms a team with Josha and Robbie to scout out underground Hyrule. The quest ends with Robbie unlocking the camera and allowing you to go through the map documenting your milestones.

Fix the Incomplete Stable 

Since you’ve set out for the Looking Landing in the center of the map, you can find the Incomplete Stable as a part of your side quests. The stables are a part of the previous version of the game, and you would be familiar with it if you have played it. This is an extremely small and easy quest, where you come across the Krason of Hudson Construction, asking for help to fix his stable. You can easily complete the task by replacing a board on the roof and in return, get rewarded by capturing a horse from the region.

Heal Nanna from Gloom-Borne Illness 

Tears of Kindom offers you opportunities to learn valuable life lessons. An important and wholesome side quest is to heal Nanna from Gloom-Borne Illness in the Kakariko village. In the village, you will find Lasli, who is worried that her Nanna will pass away due to the illness.

You can help her heal Nanna by gathering Fresh Milk, Sundelions, and Hylian Rice to make Sunny Veggie Porridge. The recipe is a good addition to the knowledge that you will acquire while exploring Hyrule. If you successfully complete it, you will come across new armor-buying opportunities, as you can access the Radiant and Stealth sets in the game after completing it.

Search for the Pirate Hide-Out

You will encounter several monsters throughout the adventure. When you enter the Eventide Island, Sesami will mention three monsters on the island that are not allowing him to scout and protect it. This will be a challenging sidequest as Link has to find and kill each monster in the camp to allow Sesami to return to his scouting journey. But the most thrilling part of this sidequest only starts from here. When you talk to Sesami, he will mention a pirate ship at the back of the island that disappears. You can set out on the adventure to find the pirate ship only if you are prepared, as you’ll have to fight the Black Boss Bokoblin and Bokoblins on it.
