Trying to 100% a link between world's right now, and I was wondering, do you count all chests in the whole game as 100%ing it? Or do you just count collecting every single item and doing everything in the game besides chests. Just curious if I will have to go back and get all the chests in dungeons I've missed. Thanks!
Do you count all chests in the game towards 100% completion?

Hello Sweetie!
I think we decide for ourselves what we put into 100% completing a game. For me 100% means collecting all heart pieces, getting all items and upgrades, and finishing any collection quests within the game. So for A Link Between Worlds, here's what I counted towards 100% the game for myself: Find/buy all items, upgrade all items (including lamp and butterfly net, etc), find all maiamais, collect all heart pieces. I don't personally count chests if they do not contain something of more importance than rupees.

Chests are too numerous in most cases to keep a track off so don't worry about them. Though to be fair I would if 100% keep track of chests giving 100 Rupees or more. Those i think should always count towards that 100%

Yes, I do. If you didn't unlock all the chests, you didn't explore every area.

I personally think 100% completing a game includes getting every chest, especially those in temples/dungeons. That's just my preference.

What about in Twilight Princess? If you don't have room in your wallet, you put the rupees back. You can still explore and open all the chests, but you wouldn't have gotten everything out of them.

100%-ing means finding everything you can and actually collecting everything that's counted on the game menu (i.e. Poe Souls, Masks, etc...). Opening every obscure chest with some useless treasure (SS) or extra money (TP) has no bearing on how much you actually accomplished.

I agree with Terminus, but I go the extra step and do that useless stuff anyway. I have OCD.

Well, it isn't 100% completion until everything is 100% complete so...
For me, 100% completion means leaving no stone left unturned. If it's possible to collect it, then it counts. Everything must have been done in order for me to see it as truly complete. I don't feel completely satisfied otherwise.

I don't consider opening every chest part of 100%ing a game. At least not chests full of 20 rupees. There are so many and often very simple to find that it doesn't matter. However, if there is some puzzle required (i.e. kill all the enemies, light all the torches, etc.) I'd consider that part of it, because it's not just a matter of not looking behind a wall.
Chests in dungeons, yes, since they show up on the map. Obscure chests in the overworld with worthless contents that no one even bothers writing into any guides, no.

Depends on the game, but generally speaking Locke is correct, unless you're only talking about certain games you normally only count chests in dungeons as 100%.
