There are two endings that you can get in Zelda Breath of the Wild. They all depend on how many and which missions you’ve completed. The missions in question are freeing all of the Divine Beasts from Ganon’s hold, which are main story missions, and getting all of Link’s memories, which is more of a side quest. We’ll list how these actions affect the ending that you’ll get below. One final spoiler warning – turn back if you don’t want the endings ruined for you.

Alternate Ending in Zelda Breath of the Wild

This is likely the first ending that you’ll get. You can expect to get this one if you just breeze through the game. There’s not much to it – visit a few shrines to get your heart container count up, and don’t collect all Link’s memories. Just run through the story towards the last boss Ganon.

Zelda BotW True Ending

The True Ending is the hardest one to get, as it should be. For this one, you’ll have to free all Divine Beasts and get their help in the battle against Ganon, finish all main story missions, and get every memory as well. This will unlock the full ending – additional story after THE END cut scene.
