Whether you are a seasoned adventurer or a newcomer to the series, these hidden treasures can offer thrilling challenges, rewarding loot, or a dose of nostalgia. While speedrunning the game may be a nice challenge, it is way better to take your time and inspect every nook and cranny of Hyrule.
If you played Breath of the Wild, then you can not forget the Guardians you had to fight against. In this sequel, none of these previous enemies can be seen running around freely anymore.
On the other hand, only one decayed Guardian can be found on top of the Hateno Tech Lab. It is a nice bonus of nostalgia, which even hides a Korok seed on top.
It is impossible to forget the iconic awakening of Link in Breath of the Wild. The young hero awakens from a long slumber unaware of where he is and what has transpired.
The Shrine where Link awakened can be found in Tears of Kingdom as well. This time, the entrance is hidden behind leaves. There are also some uninvited guests occupying the place.
If you are short on time and rushing to find the Master Sword you might not notice the comment of one of the Koroks near the Deku Tree. The Korok has lost his friend who was last seen near the mouth of the tree.

By using Ascend you can get directly inside the closed mouth of Deku and find Oaki. The young Korok needs help to decorate his room with glowing flowers. After you assist him, you can admire the most relaxing bedroom of the game.
Once again, if you are rushing through locations and don't visit them more than once, you may miss many hidden quests and locations.
That is also the case with the hidden passage inside the Emergency Shelter. After completing your first temple, a passage opens inside the shelter that hides many quests, formidable foes, and powerful loot.
When Tears of the Kingdom made the map three times bigger, some of the previous locations got forgotten. That is also the case with the once-iconic Temple of Time.
If you revisit the old temple's ruins you will get to enjoy its beautiful views as well as a special quest from the Goddesses statue. There are also many ruins falling constantly from the sky, which allow you to enjoy an aerial view of the Great Plateau.
When you visit Gerudo town for the first time you will notice everyone has hidden themselves inside the underground shelter. If you move around you will see a familiar face stuck in prison.
Wabbin is the person you helped out with his first date in Breath of the Wild. Now he has been imprisoned as he tried to enter the town to meet with his wife and daughter. To enter his cell you will have to find a secret passage and use ascension.
If you are a seasoned Zelda fan, then Lon Lon Ranch definitely rings a bell. The ranch has made appearances in multiple titles, such as Ocarina of Time and The Minish Cap.
While it does not hide any loot or hidden bosses, it serves as a nostalgic Easter egg; a bit melancholic, though, as only ruins remain.
Once again if you played Breath of the Wild, then maybe you remember the hidden club inside the Gerudo Town. To enter the shop you had to know a special code.

This time you will have to use underground passages and ascension to enter the club. At this special store, you can buy Gerudo clothes made specifically for men.
When exploring the Depths of Hyrule you will soon come across multiple coliseums. In those places, you will have to battle against various dangerous monsters to get powerful loot.
A coliseum that is often overlooked is the one directly below the Korok Forest. After defeating a Black Hinox here, you will acquire the Korok mask.
The Eventide island already made an appearance in Breath of the Wild. That time Link was stripped of his equipment and had to defeat all the island's monsters.
This time, the island works as the secret hideout of pirates. By following a disappearing ship, you will notice there is a hidden cave on its rocky side.
