9 Insanely Long Video Game Unlocks That ARE Worth It

5. Building Tarrey Town - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Zelda Tarrey Town
Nintendo

Zelda finds itself with another entry on this list because I guess Nintendo can’t help themselves when it comes to giving you wildly involved quests that also happen to be all shades of charming and rewarding.

Building Tarrey Town is a perfect example. From The Ground Up is a 10-step side quest that calls upon you to build a town, well, from the ground up.

You’ll do everything from collecting literally hundreds of pieces of wood to recruiting villagers of all disciplines and races. As you do so merchants will open shops, bringing new goods for you to get your hands on, and ultimately you’ll even attend a wedding upon the conclusion of the town’s construction. If the warm fuzzies aren’t enough to make it all worth it, you’ll also be given 3 diamonds and be granted access to a free inn.

I mean, you pretty much built the whole thing so you should hope it’s free.
