The 10 WORST Side Quests in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

[Music] welcome to Mojo plays and today we're scraping the bottom of the barrel for the 10 worst side quests in The Legend of Zelda tear of the Kingdom we've already covered the best so for this list we'll be looking at optional quests in tears of the Kingdom that are either unimaginative not worth the effort or just plain unfun to play the game has gotten plenty of Praise so head to the comments and let us know what your least favorite side quest was before we begin we publish new content all week long so be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to get notified about our latest [Music] videos rock for [Music] sale there are multiple quests in the game that require link to transport a large Crystal which transforms into a shrine once he's reached the right location some players think there are far too many of these and would rather have more puzzle Centric shrines so the only one that actually charges you money for its Crystal easily comes off as the weakest in Terry Town link can find haggie who asks 100 rupees for the Crystal but will charge you 50 it's not as if you need to travel very far and the Shrine in question does give you a diamond but with so many similar ones throughout the game this does come off as a bit [Music] uninspired disaster in gudo [Music] Canyon as link heads into gudo Canyon he'll meet a man named Quincy who has lost three of his fellow Travelers naturally it's up to you to find them unfortunately the quest marker on your map stays on Quincy so you really will have to search a canyon for them the first one is thankfully found not far down the road being attacked by lalos but the other two are sitting in random locations and require a splash fruit and spicy pepper respectively exploring and searching may be similar but the former is definitely more fun than the ladder wandering around aimlessly seems like a waste of time which it is as the quest only gets you 10 bomb flowers come on Quincy pay the man moon gazing [Music] gorons there are several quests and puzzles within the new Zelda era whose instructions are purposefully vague causing most players to stand around wondering what they should do Moon gazing gorons is one of those quests after completing yobo's main story Mission link can find Vulcan and Trey in Goron City trying to remember a place from their childhood where they could see the full moon during midday all they tell you is that it's near Lake fona but you'd be wrong for thinking you need to take a picture of the actual Moon link must go into a nearby cave which has a skylight that produces a moon-shaped ray on the ground at least they pay you 100 rupees for your [Music] troubles a bottled Cry for Help the fun factor of some quests depends on how late into the game you find them a bottled Cry for Help is found at the beach near henno Village which most players will find early a bottled message tells you of someone trapped in a nearby cave and Link must follow debris with bright Bloom seeds attached to find them if you stumbled upon this Quest when we did you won't have access to some of the better zonai devices and you'll be forced to use those nearby following this trail with a simple boat and against the current mind you isn't annoying enough to be offensively bad but it is quite tedious ah the yiga clan exam after link tracks down the full yiga Clan armor set he can make it into two new locations their Hideout from the first game and the yiga blade Master station it's the second spot where link can take an exam to earn blade Master status while you might might think that title is gained by surviving tough fights all you really have to do is Place Bunches of bananas at five pedestals around the area that is so much less interesting than what we were expecting and you can pretty much avoid any enemies that would be in your way you do get great rewards including a shrine and a pristine eight-fold Long Blade but we can't deny how disappointing doing this Quest is [Music] where are the wells oh Wells are one of the ways in which Nintendo expanded on the surface map by exploring them link will eventually meet the NPC Farah who wants to know about all 58 of them she gives you 10 rupes each and the allswell snow globe for finding all of them plus they do hold useful resources so you'll probably end up going down some anyway but here's the problem unlike the other large quantity collectons in the game like cororo seeds Addison signpost and bubble gems where are the wells is added to the quest log that means you have to find every single one in order to clear it for the average player it likely just sits there mocking you to find the patience to hunt these things down true treasure for some reason when breath of the wild was translated from Japanese to English someone had the strange idea to make the pinp pal relationship between Finley a Zora girl and San a hen man romantic but even if that uncomfortable cringe wasn't carried over into tears of the Kingdom their side quest still would not be very fun after completing the main Zora quest line you can find the duo separated in a cave at tarm Point San will need help getting his raft through the water which is constantly rising and falling making this more frustrating are the massive stalagmites on your path make one slight mistake and he'll freak out and make you start over oh San I hate so much about the things that you choose to be cash in on ripened Flint this one is barely a quest and yet it's incredibly annoying sitting outside the bedrock beastro in the Elden region is a wealthy Goron named gomo while the rest of us are out there dealing with high rules problems Domo sits around waiting for someone to bring him ripened Flint which looks the same as ordinary Flint you can give him some in portions of 20 50 or 100 with higher numbers increasing your likelihood in order to not lose resources I must have reloaded the same save 20 times continuously giving him 50 pieces of Flint after getting fed up I returned later with 100 and got it the first time at least he gives you 1,000 rupees but it's just bad Quest design all [Music] around endurance [Music] contests on Mount granaj in the gudo canyon you can find rodo an old man who will challenge link to two endurance tests the first has you both put up 5050 rupees and stand de clothed on a pillar during the cold night while the second is for 150 rupees during the humid day while you can't touch the ground there are many ways around succumbing to the environment like meals and elixir or equipping different elemental weapons but you then have to stand there for many in-game hours amounting to around 16 minutes IRL for both quests we don't have to tell you how boring it is to just stand un interrupted in a video game may as well take a bathroom break after you start ah a call from the [Music] depths a fetch quest in a terrific game is still a fetch Quest a call from the depths directs link to four spots on the great Plateau where he'll find large Stone eyes he needs to Chuck into the depth from there you can use whatever means you want to transport each eye to the great abandoned Central mine where you'll find their owner this Quest does give you a better reward than most you get to choose to increase your health or stamina but that doesn't change the fact that it's a slog to play through the monotony that comes from retreading the area four times over even with zonai devices will make you want to do almost anything else did you enjoy this video check out these other clips from Mojo plays
