In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you can save by following a few simple steps. They are:

  • Open the main menu. You can do this by pressing the “+” button.
  • Use the L and R buttons to scroll through the various tabs.
  • Open the System tab.
  • There you will find Save and Load options.
  • Click on the Save button and your progress will be saved.
  • After that, you will be able to load this save at any time.

You'll want to do this pretty regularly so that you never lose any progress. If you're struggling with an enemy or aren't sure where to go next, save you game in case you want to go back to that point. Also, be sure to manually save any time you close the game after playing.
