Tears of the Kingdom Purah Pad Upgrades and the Compendium
The Purah Pad you take off a Steward Construct is missing half its features. The Camera and Hyrule Compendium wait on a Main Quest in the Depths, and the Sensor, Sensor +, Hero's Path Mode and three Travel Medallions come one Side Adventure at a time from Robbie. Here is what unlocks each one, what Robbie charges for Compendium pictures, and which boss entries have no rematch, so they are best photographed mid-fight.

Tears of the Kingdom Monster Medals: Sub-Boss Counts and HP
Breath of the Wild had three Medals of Honor and 84 kills behind them. Tears of the Kingdom has six Monster Medals, a six-quest gate in front of them, and a Gleeok tier where an ordinary Flame Gleeok carries more health than the Demon Dragon's main body.

Tears of the Kingdom Rupee Farming: What to Sell and Keep
A Ruby sold for 210 rupees in Breath of the Wild. In Tears of the Kingdom it sells for 110.

Tears of the Kingdom Cave Guide: 147 Bubbulfrogs, Koltin, and 58 Wells
Skyview Towers map the surface. Lightroots map the Depths. Nothing maps the 147 caves — you find those by walking into them. Here is what each one is hiding, what the frog inside is worth, and why the merchant who buys the gems only opens after 9 PM.
Tears of the Kingdom Sages Guide: Every Ability and Number
Five sages, five powers, and a pile of numbers Nintendo never shows you — including the one that decides whether Queen Gibdo has 2,270 HP or 3,632. Here is what each avatar actually does, what upgrading it is worth, and why temple order matters more than anyone told you.
