I did a sequence break and found Mineru before getting The Fifth Sage quest. Is it possible for me to still 100% complete the game or are some of those quests now forever incomplete and not finishable? Also will I get the quests if I talk to the right people?
Yeah you’re good. I completed Mineru before triggering Pura’s speech about extra sages, all it did was result in a ‘you already completed it??’
If I’m not mistaken, quests don’t count towards 100% completion. But as others said, you can still complete any quest,
irregardlessregardless of fulfilling the goal first. Link will talk and you’ll get the “you already did that?” dialog (understandable in a non linear open world game).“irregardless” is not a word. You only need ‘regardless’.
It is a word. A nonstandard word (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/irregardless). But I deserve the scolding, for learning these kind of expressions and nonstandard words from native speakers. I’ll refrain from using it in the future. Cheers.
Actually, it was interesting to read that merriam link, I think they were a bit light on the topic.
I agree, its been around for ever, so its a “word” and we know what someone means when saying it. But it doesn’t make it correct.
IR as in ir-respective it a negation, and it is the same as regard-less, in this case LESS is the negation. So technically ir-regard-less is a double negative, so it equals ‘regards’. Totally technically incorrect and language wise completely illogical ( IL- !! ).
I’ll give you a hint though, Merriam-Webster is an American company, and choses American-isms over the vastly more used British English. Perhaps have a look at the Oxford dictionary for a more lexicographic accurate resource.
Oh! Ok, got it: American dictionaries bad, British dictionaries good. Cheers mate!

The completion percentage that appears on the map after you beat the game is not only the named places on the map, but it counts the completion of other things: https://www.ign.com/wikis/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/100_Percent_Completion_Checklist
Edit: re-reading your post, I’m left wondering if we’re saying the same thing? If what you meant is the same as what I’m saying, then excuse me.

As someone who recently started a challenge run trying to get definite proof of what does and does not contribute to that counter; you’re correct. Everything that results in either a name or an icon on the map is worth roughly 0.04% each, and things that don’t make names or icons appear are worth zero percent.
-
worth one map unit each: locations like forests and bridges, settlements, stables, Forge Constructs and Crystal Refinery (you need to talk to them to make the icon appear), shops (usually auto-unlock when entering a settlement, but each individual icon is still worth the +0.04%), shrines and temples (just discovering them adds to the map, completing them doesn’t increment the counter further), lightroots, solved Korok puzzles (the backpack koroks are worth ONE map unit because it is one single icon, despite giving you 2 seeds), chasms, wells, caves (each entrance is one map unit).
-
things that don’t count: quests, memories, sages, bosses, minigames, minibosses, the Hyrule Compendium, key items, special horses, whether or not you spend Korok Seeds, the Master Sword, armor and their upgrades, cooking recipes. All stuff that a sane person would normally include in an “overall game completion” counter.
Funnily, even some “non locations” contribute to the counter, solely because they lead to icons. The Ancient Stone Tablets for example do not yet count if you visit them; you have to take a picture of each and show it to that Zonai researcher in Kakariko, and THEN you get an icon for the ones you have shown him, so the trigger is the picture. Dragon Tears also only count if you actually watched the cutscene, and the shops in Lurelin only count after you helped rebuilding them.
-
I think you’ll be fine, other quests if you do them before time people will just stay talking, you interrupt and it’s started and done.
Not relevant to your particular situation, but I went to Korok Forest before “I was supposed to.” Spoiler, but there are Koroks that spawn after some trigger that kindof guide you how to go about getting into Korok Forest. Mostly near to where the BOTW entrance to Korok Forest is. But since I got there without their assistance, I never got to see those Koroks that help you get to Korok Forest.
Not that it’ll affect 100%-ing or anything, but I saw some of those Koroks that help you get to Korok Forest in a YouTube video and was a little bummed that I’d missed part of the content in the game.
Once I’d ventured to the depths for the first time, I made it my mission to find some way into the work forest. It was there that I ran into the Gloom Hands for the first time. I was woefully under prepared. It was traumatic. And now I learn about this.
I also found Mineru just because I needed to know what was hiding in that big storm cloud and stumbled my way through the clouds without any other guidance. Once you do finally activate the dialogue, the NPC’s just kinda shrug and the quest completes as soon as you get it.

@bob_wiley I don’t remember the exact place where I found gloom hands for the first time, but it was terrifying, as I was just few hours into the game. It was one big WTF for me, and I was running from that place as fast as I could, I haven’t even thought about fighting it 😅
