Track By Type First
Tears of the Kingdom has too much to collect without categories. If you move randomly between sky, surface, and Depths cleanup, the route becomes exhausting. Track by type first, then return region by region.
Collectible Types
| Type | Cleanup advice |
|---|---|
| Caves | Pair with armor materials, ore, and special enemies |
| Wells | Combine with stables, towns, and road exploration |
| Koroks | Better as a later focused project, not an early obsession |
| Compendium | Record what you see, then target missing entries later |
| Depths resources | Pair with lightroots, mines, and Zonai energy |
| Armor materials | Upgrade useful gear first, then collection sets |
Recommended Cleanup Route
- Open towers for broad region visibility.
- Use shrines and lightroots as your travel network.
- Clear caves and wells region by region.
- Before the finale, upgrade important gear and gather core materials.
- After story completion, chase Koroks, compendium, and collection-only goals.
Mobile Checklist Template
| Check | Status |
|---|---|
| Current region tower | Missing / Done |
| Surface shrines | Missing / Done |
| Depths lightroots | Missing / Done |
| Cave entrances | Unmarked / Marked |
| Wells | Unmarked / Marked |
| Useful armor materials | Missing / Enough |
| Koroks | Later focused cleanup |
Avoid Full Collection Too Early
Early game should build exploration power: gliding, fast travel, hearts, stamina, and environmental resistance. Full collection routes are far better once the map, gear, and resources are stable.
