As the title says, do you prefer to upgrade hearts or stamina at any given moment?

    In BotW, stamina bc nothing can really kill you early game, but there are some steep places you’ll wanna get

    In TotK, hearts bc with the slight overworld adjustments, you can get pretty much everywhere with 1 wheel now and even basic mobs can one hit you at the start

    I went for stamina because of a huge emphasis on exploration. I found botw to be a bit frustrating because I was limited by my stamina so I forgone my health to complete a stamina wheel. I’m working on health since 2 wheels seems enough before cooking.

    Also it forces me to find alternative strategies for combat such as stealth, weapon building, and cooking. Honestly, with the time saved in exploration but spent in preparing for combat, I’d say it balances out.

      I do have to get better at weapon building as well. Fights drag on so long when you have weak weapons

    On totk I boosted stamina first. I just got annoyed with how far I couldn’t get with the glider in the sky. Turns out it was useful for spoiler reasons!

    Hearts until I have 6, then one extra stamina wheel, then 4 more hearts, then the rest of stamina, then the rest of hearts.
    By the time I got to 10 hearts, I could start upgrading armor and cooking full-heals, and I wasn’t taking many hits, so stamina was more important.

    Hearts until 8 or so to keep me from being too squishy. Finished second ring of stamina, then hearts from there. I very rarely run out of stamina compared to BOTW because of all the new ways of getting around.

      This is the way I approach it too… Enough hearts not to be one shot and down and that second stamina wheel is so welcome ! It’s enough to do almost anything I need to paraglider wise / climbing wise etc.

    Hearts first. I think you only need 8-10 of them though before you go full stream ahead on stamina until it’s full

    Over the course of my playthroughs, I usually upgrade stamina about once per two hearts - though I’ve gotten good enough at the game at this point that I could probably do one-to-one instead.

    I have about 12 hearts right now and two wheels of stamina, but I think I’m at a good point to focus on stamina for now as I can tank big hits at this point

    Haven’t beat the game yet but stamina all the way! This is less of a problem in totk but in botw it feels like you need full stamina to be able to properly explore anywhere. Even in totk being able to climb up basically anything because of the max stamina is very nice.

    I think stamina up to 2 wheels, or whatever seems like enough mobility for a small fight or exploring. 2 seems to be a sweet spot for me then hearts to not be too squishy.

    Take advantage of the mechanic of not being one shotted, if you have full hearts and keep those 3 hearts full.

    Now I think I have enough hearts, around 10, to go back to stamina and try for a third wheel. I need the extra wheel to run away from those gloom hands. Lol.
