As a testament to his boundless curiosity and unwavering dedication to exploration, a dedicated Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player invested six months and a whopping 1,885 hours into collecting the maximum number of Poe—999,999, to be exact—beneath the vast expanse of Hyrule. As reported by Automaton Media , the intrepid gamer took to Twitter to announce their remarkable achievement, revealing that they had discovered the game’s Poe collection limit. These wisp-like ethereal spirits, scattered throughout the Depths beneath Hyrule, became the focus of this player’s determined quest.
Since last June, this individual has relentlessly pursued the elusive Poes, racking up a whopping total of 1,885 hours in the process. When asked about the motivation behind this monumental effort, the player revealed to Automaton Media that their only driving force was pure curiosity—a desire to extend their involvement with Tears of the Kingdom for a longer period. For those intrigued by the dedicated collector’s meticulous approach, the player even shared the optimal route to collect Poe in a detailed video. Following this route allows players to collect an impressive 5,500 Poe in just four hours. On days with more free time, the player would take three of these routes, resulting in an incredible haul of over 16,000 Poe in the span of 12 hours.
