Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a very expansive game, with a huge map filled with secrets to find. ꦡIncluded in tho🤡se secrets is a long list of 50 side quests that can be picked up when you bump into the relevant NPC.
These side quests ran💯ge from simple tasks, to long-winded and complicated quests which will take you some time to complete. You’ll find them in a variety of locations spread across the map, so finding them all will likely take you soꦆme time.
Side quests are marked by small red exclamation marks on a relevant NPCs dialogue, so keep an eye out for those and pick them up when you find them. Some side quests will require you to go in𝕴to dungeons and defeat a final boss. These ༒quests will provide you with Heart Pieces, and are absolutely worth seeking out, even if it means going out of your way by quite some distance.
When you’ve picked up any side quests, you can check them by pressing the Minus button, and then opening the Adventure Log by pressing R. Then, switch over to the Side Quest tab using the left Joy-Con. All of your side quests are listed here, and you can select which one to show on your map.
