TotK Travel Guide is a companion app for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. You can use it while playing the game to keep track of your progress, mark interesting locations on the map, and make notes. It can also help you find all kinds of materials in Hyrule, such as fruit, fish, and ore, and it's a quick reference guide for all the Armor sets in the game. The app provides a spoiler-free experience: by default, all locations and regions are hidden. As you make progress in the game, you can make them visible in the app as well. This means you can explore Hyrule and use this app without being spoiled by seeing everything the game has to offer from the get-go. Of course, if that's actually what you're looking for, that's an option as well. At the center of the app you'll find a map of all levels of Hyrule. You find markers for Shrines, Towers, Villages, Korok Seeds, Lightroots, Quests, Treasure Chests, Minibosses, and many more interesting locations. And you can also add your own custom pins to the map. You can easily add notes to any location and pins on the map, and you can also make Quick Notes while you are playing the game. The game has an easy list that shows you all notes you have created. And keeping track of todo's is also easy with the Tasks feature that you'll find in the app. TotK Travel Guide is a native app that puts a great interface front and center. The UI is very smooth and will be immediately recognizable for anyone familiar with iOS. The app is fully integrated with the system: your data is synced with iCloud, offers a dark mode and homescreen widgets, and the app even has support for advanced system features such as the Shortcuts app. You can change the language of all locations on the map to any of the languages supported by the game, including Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. TotK Travel Guide is built with love by a Zelda fan just like you. You can unlock all features of the app and support future development with a single, one-time in app purchase. The app does not have any subscriptions or ads. This is a third-party app and not affiliated with Nintendo Co. Ltd.

UPDATE: The developer added a lot more to the map and added the option to hide completed stuff, so it’s pretty much perfect now! Thank you!This companion app is very well designed and overall a great start. I like that it’s a one-time purchase rather than a monthly subscription (I have no problem paying for subscriptions, but it doesn’t feel like the right pricing model for an app like this), so that’s already an edge over the competition. There are a few things that I think are keeping this from being a true 5 star experience, and they’re also keeping me from actually purchasing the full app: 1. I agree with another reviewer that the app needs some kind of visual indicator right on the map that shows you’ve marked a place as discovered. 2. I’d take this further and say that the app should let you filter by that discovered status; completionists will want an at-a-glance view of the things they’ve yet to find. 3. I also agree that the list of things on the map should be expanded: stuff like armor, special weapons, special items, and bosses should all be there, and much of that data already exists. Overall, though, this is a well designed start. Looking forward to seeing the app expanded and even just those first two things would get me to pay!

I don’t know if I’m just not looking right but it is truly mind boggling how hard I had to look for a map that was based around keeping things hidden UNTIL you discover them for yourself!! The rest are all checklists! Add to that I desperately wanted a map where I could put down pins with more than just seven icons in one whole color. Nintendo, please, just five color options that’s all I need! What I’m trying to say is that I was on the verge of giving up. This is everything I wanted it to be. The fact that the upgraded version is just a one time payment? Yes, thank you. Please keep doing what you’re doing.Edit: the only thing I would love to see added is the full catalog of monsters and materials treated the same way the other points of interest are. I want to use the map to keep track of monsters and plants so I know where to go if I need to farm some resource like boko guts. I want to be able to save the locations but also selectively turn off the visibility for each one. However I recognize that this would be a huge amount of work. As it is now I can just do that with custom pins but it would be nice to have an official way. Thank you for continuing to update!!

When I first started playing ToTK the first thing I did was look for a guide from Jeffery, seeing how far both the animal crossing new horizons guide and this ToTK guide has come in the last few years is a testament to the skill and dedication that goes into building them and I love getting to watch the guide evolve along the way! The direct responses to feedback and watching features added from popular requests make this a must have! I think my only requests would be adding the Bubblfrogs to the map or the compendiums, but not having them won’t keep me from looking forward to ticking off locations, items, and watching the completion meter for shrines inch closer to 100%!

It’s amazing! Just one question :)

So, I literally just got this app. Tried it out, and loved it. I was looking through all the things I could mark off and tried the armor. I was a little confused when all the Armor pieces were checked as discovered instead of not having it marked at all. Then, I pressed the discovered icon and it took me to a one payment fee. So the question is, do I have to pay the fee to change it to either not discovered or discovered or is there just something I’m missing? That’s the only question I have, everything else is the best thing I’ve seen, very useful :)

Thank you for your kind review! My apologies it took me a while to respond. Armor itself doesn’t have an ‘undiscovered’ state, only obtained/not obtained. You need to purchase the one-time only in-app purchase to be able to mark armor as obtained. Hope this helps, feel free to reach out to me if you have any more questions, through the ‘Contact Support’ button on the About page.

Hey there! This update of TotK Travel Guide features a major update to the app's design and includes many other features to make the app even easier and faster to use. # New Design The app now features a brand new Liquid Glass design. Alongside this redesign, a few other tweaks have been made as well to make the app even easier to use. For example, the map controls are now positioned at the bottom of the screen, so it's easier to reach them and change layers or activate the visor mode. Additionally, the search bar now remains visible at the top of the sheet when you scroll, making it easier to activate search whenever you need it. Together with new animations, transitions, and even a brand new app icon, the app is ready for the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS. # Menu Bar and Keyboard Shortcuts On the latest version of iPadOS, the app now supports the new menu bar, giving you easy access to common features of the app. Many of these actions also have keyboard shortcuts assigned to them, making navigating the app even easier. You can now change layers, add pins, and zoom the map without lifting your fingers from the keyboard. # Search History The app now also keeps track of your search history, so you can easily go back to locations you've opened before. I hope you like the update! You can always reach out to me with feedback through the Contact Support button on the About page. If you enjoy the app and want to support its development, please consider leaving a review or unlocking TotK Travel Guide +. Thank you so much! Jeffrey
