The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - 4 useful tips! We bring you knowledge that will make your exploration of Hyrule more convenient!

This title is a sequel to "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," which was released in 2017. Set in Hyrule, where the threat of the evil Ganon has passed, the main character Link embarks on a new adventure.

In this article, we will provide you with information that will help you conquer this title in the first and second parts. The first part summarizes the contents related to field exploration. We hope that those who will be playing the game in the future, or those who are stuck in the strategy, will find this information useful.

Knowledge to make exploring Hyrule more convenient

1. Actively visit shrines in various locations.

On the sky islands and on the ground, there are facilities called "Shrines of the Breaking Demon. There are various gimmicks inside, and if you solve the riddles to the end and reach the innermost part, you will receive a "Blessed Light" as a reward. Collecting four Blessing Lights will increase the maximum value of either the "Heart," which indicates Link's HP, or the "Ganbari Gauge," which is consumed by various actions such as dashing and climbing walls. Both are useful, but if you are not good at fighting, we recommend using the "heart" gauge, and if you want a smoother exploration, we recommend using the "effort gauge.

In addition, once you visit a shrine, it also functions as a warp point. Since they also serve as shortcuts to nearby towns and horse stables, even if you don't clear the shrine, you should at least start it up first.

2. Red letters in conversations are important hints

When talking with people, red words sometimes appear in dialogues. The content varies, but all of them are hints that are essential to the story, requests, and field exploration, so be sure to remember them. You can take notes, but a quicker way is to use the Switch's screenshot function to save the entire screen. To use the screenshot, simply press the square button on the left Joy-Con.

3. In cold and tropical regions, environmental measures are essential.

Some places in Hyrule, such as the land of the Goron tribe in the northeast and the village of the Lito tribe in the northwest, are so hot or cold that Link cannot stand them. If you enter these places without any countermeasures, Link's hearts will gradually decrease. It is important to prepare equipment and food with a "cold guard" for cold climates and a "heat guard" for tropical climates. Since equipment can be obtained under certain conditions and can be expensive to buy, cooking is recommended as an easy way to protect yourself from the weather. If you use cooking to protect yourself from the weather, you should use more materials that can provide each guard effect and extend the effect time.

Materials with a cold guard include "poka-poka grass seed" and those with a heat guard include "hinyaridake". Equipment with a cold guard can also be obtained near the shrine of Gutumbachi on the Sky Island (east of the first Sky Island). 4.

4. before and after the red moon appears, the food you cook will always be a great success.

When playing this game, the red moon will suddenly appear. This is a troublesome element, as all enemies defeated up to that point will be resurrected, but in fact, if you cook before or after this phenomenon, all of your dishes will be a great success.

A highly successful dish is more effective than a normal one made with the same amount of input. This technique with the red moon is very useful in this work, where cooking is often used to restore hearts. When the screen gradually turns red or the red moon begins to climb in the sky, try to cook aggressively. The best way to do this is to use a pot if it is nearby, but if not, move to an area where one is available or use Zona Ugear's portable pot.
