Total number of sidequests for BOTW revealed by Piggyback's official guide and it's good news.

Considering how long this game has been in development, it damn sure better be great. The expectations are huge.

The number of side quests is not very important. Its the quality of the quests that matters. FFXV had a ton of side quests, but they mostly sucked. If BotW ends up a FFXV quality game, then it will be a big disappointment. But, it's Zelda, so I'm expecting greatness.
