7 COOL Locations You MISSED In Zelda Tears of the Kingdom!

Not necessarily a location but when I found this out it made me laugh. Whenever you feed Patricia splash fruits she will give you the coordinates of one of the remaining side quests you have left in the gerudo region. But if you finish all side quests she will give you the exact location of ganondorf. I find it funny that a seal can pinpoint the demon king 😂

The blupee burrow is directly below Satori Mountain which explains why the blupees and the cherry blossom tree are there, surprised you didn't mention that

A lot of people have missed queen Sonia’s grave in the forgotten temples main room corner

Not so much a location as it is an easter egg, but in BotW you can find a single apple sitting on a beam under a small bridge in Kakariko Village for seemingly no reason. If you return to that same location in TotK, you'll now find a second apple sitting beside the first. Gave me a new appreciation for the attention to detail put into the game

A lot of people could have missed the Gleeok den. It is under the thyphlo ruins which has some pretty neat side quests about using the sages ability.

The Yiga blademaster exam is easy to miss but I had a great time infiltrating! Also, anytime you encounter a Yiga in disguise while wearing the outfit, they’ll call you their colleague, wearing the thunder helm will impress all of them and you can enter every secret hideout while wearing the outfit. I love that they put this in

One of my favorite weird spots is the Cucco Hideaway, in Kakariko Village. I think it's part of the side quest but the thing that sticks in my mind most is how hard I was laughing when I found that place. The writers have a fantastic sense of humour.

A few little corrections. The garden in the maze actually belongs to Cottla, and she calls it her secret base. If you follow her to the well and find her in the garden, she’ll be very surprised! She built it so she can cook for her hardworking family, but it’s a secret and she needs practice. In exchange for not telling anyone, you can take vegetables whenever you want. For the crystal cave place, you’re intended to find that by collecting brightblooms for these sisters. Then they thank you and talk about a secret, although they reveal nothing. You have to find them again at I think Snowfield Stable, and defeat a few monsters for them. Then they disappear again near where the cave is, and you both look for it. EDIT: Apparently Cottla’s garden does actually belongs to her and her mom! Thanks to Whofan06 for pointing that out! :D

The mushroom cave absolutely floored me the first time I gazed upon it. It's breathtaking.

The castle hidden passage really reminds me of the area you go through to escape the prison after you first encounter Midna as Wolf Link in Twilight Princess. Also use a hover stone to help out Addison with his signs, it’s so much easier than building scaffolding!

An interesting spot in TotK is the Gerudo Sanctuary. It’s located in the North Gerudo Ruins and is accessible through a fairly lengthy side quest. Inside, there are plenty of Gerudo weapons and lore on the heroine statues.

A thing that is easy to miss is the side quest on the roof of Temple of Time.

Gotta mention the Gerudo Prison Ruins in the Palu Wasteland, its pretty much a mini dungeon and among the best caves in the game.

In the same coordinates as the shrine of resurrection, I believe you can find an area in the depths called the secret spring of revival.

i almost missed sonia's grave in the forgotten temple in the room where the secret stones were originally given to the sages. it is surrounded by sundelions.

I strangely found the royal passage from the other way early. Was exploring in the castle and followed it all the way to the lookout landing wall, but I hadn't unlocked the story of it opening, so it was a dead end, I just thought they wanted you to travel through a really long route to use the bargaining statue. Like, we'll let you swap out hearts and stamina, but only after you go through this long gauntlet. It wasn't until later when the lookout landing wall opened up, I realized they were supposed to connect.

The mushroom room in the cave is actually a side quest you can complete.

I’m quite happy w myself for naturally finding all these on my own ☺️ this game was so much fun to explore!!

Anyone else find the deku tree secret room completely by accident, while trying to get to the top quicker?

A location people could have missed is the meda mountain hotspring and lava falls in the depths. The hotspring is just west of the meda mountain chasm and north of koto pond, at coordinates 2313, -2375, 0170. Directly underneath this spot in the depths are several huge flowing lavafalls that are heating up the hotspring. I think its a cool detail and it can be pretty jarring flying through the necluda depths to see giant walls of lava.
