I love the game so much and am having a LOT of fun but my adhd brain is a little overwhelmed by all the freedom and I think I’d REALLY enjoy the game with a bit more structure. SO, I’m wondering if anyone has seen a parsed out narrative-guided quest roadmap, the more detailed the better.
I am a new-er gamer and I’ve only played years-old games that have very detailed quest checklists and recommended quest order roadmaps down to the smallest side quest and NPC encounter so it’s a bit overwhelming in this brand spanking new, non-linear open world. For instance here are just a few of my MANY internal queries, none of which anyone should feel obligated to answer, though I will be much obliged if you do:
…and many, many more. The point is I have SO many questions and the part that’s the most stressful is that I’ve found out from others and on my own that you can really spoil the story for yourself if you’re not careful and story arc and narrative path are like my favorite thing about Zelda at least in BOTW & skyward sword. I say “like” my favorite thing because it ties all my other favorite things together and i love the suspense of the story and piecing it together slowly as it gives the adventuring purpose and the wandering momentum.
TLDR: Does anyone know of a place I might find a quest roadmap or outline that has guidance for a more structured play for people like me who like linear story progression / coherent narrative arc? I did find one on Reddit and it has saved me from some major story spoilers but I’d love something even more detailed.

- When should I go into the other chasms (after 1st) and in what order?
- Can I just go up to any sky island at any time?
- Should I prioritize the gazette quests before finishing certain main quests/tears?
- Should I intersperse the tears throughout my gameplay or do them all at once and and if I do them at once where should I situate that in my main quest order?
- Should I try to complete lookout landing’s side adventures (hoz and wanted in particular) prior to certain main story quests? And what about all the other side adventures?
- WHEN oh when would be an appropriate time to continue with master khoga once I complete the first encounter with him???
- And that brings me to the depths in general—is there any area I should prioritize?
