There are a few different options that immediately come to mind when thinking about how to tackle this beast of a game. With BOTW, for example, there were some who started collecting credits as fast as they could on their first playthrough and then left the adventure for later. In contrast, there were others who wanted to feel like they thoroughly explored every corner of the world before heading into the final boss fight, perhaps setting an achievement along the lines of “I’m going to find all 120 shrines” or (if they were having a particularly bad day ) “First I will collect every Korok seed”. And then there are those who have never tackled the final boss and are perfectly content to explore Hyrule for eternity, knowing full well that Princess Zelda is fighting for her life in the castle while Link spends his days collecting lizards.
Our point is that Tears of the Kingdom, much like its predecessor, gives us a lot of options right from the start and it’s up to us as individuals to decide what we want to do first.
So what will it be? We’ve put together a poll below with a few different options for what to do first in TOTK, but we’re sure there will be many, many more depending on your personal preferences.

Ah, a new Zelda game! It’s a beautiful thing. Happy research!
