Side Quests are found in the majority of the games in the Legend of Zelda series. A side quest is generally described as a course of action which Link can follow in order to achieve a particular goal. The action is not usually required in order to finish the game, but will provide him with a useful item, information, or something else which will in some way enhance his performance. There are, however, certain side quests that are, at least in part, necessary to complete the game. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, side quests are one of the three quest types along with the main and Shrine quests.
