100% Completion

100% Completion refers to having mastered all aspects of a title, completing tasks that are addressed permanently to the quest's status. Actions like not dying or always having a maximum amount of items, such as Rupees, Bombs, or Arrows, do not count into completion due to their permanent subject to change status.

Like the Three Heart Challenge and Speed Runs, 100% Completion is an optional challenge for The Legend of Zelda series.

In order to have a 100% completed file, it must contain all Heart Containers, Upgrades, Items and collectibles. Unlike other gaming series like Metroid or some Super Mario games, The Legend of Zelda series thus far has no in-game rewards such as alternative or lengthened endings, or any other reward that acknowledge the 100% completion.
