Collection Compendium

English

Adventures in Hyrule are half combat, half collection. Weapons, armor, materials, cooking, and monster compendiums—each of the two games has its own system and collection focus. First, choose the game you want to tackle.

How to Choose

  • First time with the series: Start with Breath of the Wild—the system is simpler and great for building a foundation.
  • Pursuing building and creativity: Jump straight into Tears of the Kingdom—the Fusion and Zonai device gameplay is the most rich and creative.
  • Completionist players: Both games’ Shrines, Koroks, armor, and compendiums are worth completing one by one.

Each page is organized as “Materials & Items → Weapon Compendium → Cooking Recipes → Armor Collection → Monster Compendium,” and the left-side navigation allows you to switch between games at any time.
