This page lists the requirements needed for 100% Completion in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s Walkthrough. There exists in the game a completion rate that you can increase by completing certain tasks in the game.
EditHow to Unlock the Completion Rate
The only way you can see what your total completion progress is at is by beating the Main Quest Walkthrough. After defeating the final boss you will be allowed to load the last auto-save before the end, and the save file will have a star that denotes you have completed the game on that save file.
In this save file, you can look at your map on the Sheikah Slate, and in the bottom left corner alongside the time of day and temperature is a new percentage out of 100% that tracks your total completion. You’ll also be able to track how many Main Quests, Side Quests, and Shrine Quests you have completed out of the total amount.
NOTE: It is important to know that there is NO REWARD for a 100% completion rate. This exists for bragging rights alone – and for the die-hard completionists!
EditCompletion Checklist – What Counts
Interestingly enough, not everything in the game counts toward a total completion rate – this includes quests and the Hyrule Compendium. In fact, there are only four main categories that are tracked: Dungeon Bosses, Korok Seeds, Shrine Discoveries, and Location Discoveries. Each of these will count towards approximately .08% (sometimes you may get a 0.9% increase) of your completion rating. Based on what we know, this boils down to the following –
- Dungeon Clear (Boss Defeated) = .08% x 4 = .32%
- Korok Seeds = .08% x 900 = 72%
- Shrine Discovery = .08% x 120 = 9.60%
- Location Discovery = .08% x 226(?) = 18.08%
Note: Location Discoveries – like Shrine Discoveries – are areas on your map that are not listed until you come upon them – and their name shows up briefly on screen (this includes Fairy Fountains, towns, stables, towers, and other points of interest)
EditCompletion Checklist – What Doesn’t Count
While these following categories can be tracked, they are not officially tallied into your main completion rating. We still recommend you take the time to do them all, if not for the rewards some may have, then for the additional bragging rights and feeling of completion!
- Main Quests (15 in total)
- Side Quests (76 in total)
- Shrine Quests (42 in total)
- Memories (18 in total)
- Hyrule Compendium (385 in total)
- Resurrection Towers (14 in total)
- Miniboss Medals of Honor (Kill all 40 Talus, 40 Hinox, and 4 Moldugas and speak to Kilton)
- Armor Sets
- Horse Bridles and Saddles
