The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has finally arrived, continuing the events of the previous installment, Breath of the Wild. The new title expands the kingdom of Hyrule in all-new ways with the addition of new locations like Sky Islands, as well as offering new quests and objectives.
Considering dedicated franchise fans have logged hundreds of hours in the last entry, we can expect to see similar efforts directed towards Tears of the Kingdom now that we’ve reached its release. While the game offers an auto-save feature, it’s not always reliable, so it’s important to manually save your progress from time to time.
How do you save the game in Tears of the Kingdom, though? The mechanics remain the same. We’ve detailed the process.
- Introducing amiibo: character figures designed to connect and interact with compatible games.
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time game introduced a time traveling element into the series
- -this amiibo shows a 17-year old Link playing the ocarina that allowed him to warp back and forth across a seven-year gap to defeat the power-hungry Ganondorf.
- Recommended for children ages 6+
- Just tap an amiibo accessory to the NFC touch point on a compatible system to enjoy fun in-game extra features
- Compatible games on the Nintendo Switch system, New Nintendo 2DS XL system, New Nintendo 3DS XL system and Wii U console.
How Do You Manually Save in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?
To manually save your progress in Tears of the Kingdom, you’ll just need to navigate from your menu screen. Follow these steps to complete the process:
- Press +
- Shift over to System
- Select Save
When you save manually, there is only one save slot that can be used. If you select another, your save file will be overwritten. Keep in mind, however, that you cannot manually save at certain points in the game, such as in a boss battle.
Be sure to manually save your game before attempting quests or battles that you may want to retry just in case you make any careless mistakes. As long as you save, you can exit the game and try again from your last save point.

Do I Need to Save Manually if Auto-Save is Activated?
Your game will frequently auto-save throughout your Tears of the Kingdom playthrough. This is indicated by the Saving text on your screen. Because of this, you won’t need to worry about manually saving your progress all the time.
However, it’s still a good idea to log a manual save before you enter critical points in the game, like boss battles or important quests and locations. Auto-save isn’t always reliable, so manually saving will ensure that you can restart from your last save point if need be.
Between auto- and manual saves, you should progress through Tears of the Kingdom with ease. Whether your aim is to complete the main story or shoot for 100% completion, both will come in handy.
