Random: After 100% Completing Zelda: TOTK, Streamer Starts Collecting Every Stone
It has been more than a year since The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has landed on the Switch, and for many of us, the adventure is over. Sure, we can visit Hyrule to complete a few more quests, explore more, or get lost in the magic of it allBut overall we are done.
The same cannot be said for speedrunners and content creators. Little Ant. After announcing that he had achieve 100% sacred completion rate In the first two weeks after the game’s launch, you might think the streamer would also be finished with Link’s latest adventure. You’d be wrong.
In a recent livestream, SmallAnt set out on a quest to collect every unique stone in the game. Yes, you read that right. Not satisfied with Korok Seeds, Named Locations, Side Quests, Shrines, and other categories required for 100% completion, SmallAnt collected stones (thanks, GameRadar).
It sounds a bit like a joke, but it’s true — the streamer was inspired to start the collectathon by a commenter who said he finished the game too quickly. But that doesn’t mean SmallAnt isn’t putting in the effort.
As you will see in the following video, SmallAnt’s collection should include each rock unique (including Talus Hearts, Sky Island fragments, and rocks) and they must come from all over Hyrule. Thanks to a magic that causes items in the environment to disappear when Link is too far away from them, SmallAnt must always carry his entire collection with him (either fused with weapons or on a giant “Bouldermobile”) to ensure his efforts are not in vain.
And don’t worry, the rock collection has been cross-referenced against a spreadsheet of every object in the game, so we know no rocks are left out… literally.
We won’t go into too much detail about how SmallAnt completed this challenge—though his video is titled ‘I collected every rock in Tears of the Kingdom,’ so you can get some idea of how successful he was—but prepare to learn more about Hyrule’s geological structure than you ever thought possible.
