In the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link may encounter the captain Toren traveling with a group of recruits who are trying to locate Princess Zelda. They travel to various locations where there have been reports of monster uprisings and whenever Link discovers their entourage, he is able to participate in their battle.

Upon completing the "Bring Peace to Eldin" side adventure and successfully clearing the Lake Darman Monster Den alongside Toren's troops, players will automatically start the next side adventure in the series, "Bring Peace to Akkala."

To reach the Akkala Span for the "Bring Peace to Akkala" side adventure, a convenient fast travel point is Upland Zorana Skyview Tower if the player has it unlocked. After launching into the air from this tower, players can glide north toward the Akkala Span, which is the bridge situated directly east of Cephla Lake. The player may also teleport to Mayachideg Shrine if they have it discovered and can follow the road directly south, past the South Akkala Stable.

Arriving at coordinates (3002, 1152, 0281), players will encounter Toren and his forces advancing towards the Akkala Span. The bridge ahead is overrun with a horde of enemies. These adversaries include Blue Bokoblins, along with a handful of larger and stronger Moblins. Many of the enemies wield ranged weapons such as bows and arrows, so it is important to be mindful of when Link becomes a target for their attacks.

While the enemies are powerful, they are also remarkably easy to defeat by knocking them off the bridge with careful melee attacks or by utilizing explosives including Bomb Flowers to send them flying off the Akkala Span. With water flowing beneath the bridge, any enemies sent plunging into the depths will instantly meet their demise. The smaller Bokoblins can be easily dispatched with precisely aimed headshots.

Throughout their efforts to bring peace to the Akkala Span, players will notice a progress bar displayed at the top of the screen. This bar serves as an indicator of the ongoing efforts of both the player and Toren's forces in clearing the bridge of the invading monsters.

Once the player (and Toren's forces) have eliminated all the monsters infesting the bridge, Toren expresses his gratitude by presenting Link with a Silver Rupee as a token of appreciation for his assistance. After the completion of "Bring Peace to Akkala," Toren mentions that his troops are exhausted and in need of rest to prepare for the next Blood Moon. Therefore, no subsequent side adventure is offered at this point.
