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
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.
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.
Stamina all the way until full, both games. I hate failing to get somewhere due to lack of stamina and food to compensate.
However, since I hit max stamina, I never actually need it all in totk, so if there’s a master mode down the line making me replay the whole game, I’ll probably stop at 2 wheels then hearts to stop getting one shot earlier.
I think I did 6 hearts, then rushed stamina to full. I’m at something like 10 hearts right now, with a bunch of unclaimed.
I like stamina first but I keep dying
I might die in one hit, but I can sprint for 10 seconds!
Hearts take priority
Hearts first. I think you only need 8-10 of them though before you go full stream ahead on stamina until it’s full
This is how I do it. Get enough hearts so most enemies can’t one-shot you, then max out stamina.
I get a second stamina wheel so I can traverse the map, then go all out hearts.
Totk I went stamina until I had 3 circles then added some hearts. This allowed me to enjoy exploring and I liked the challenge of combat. The harder enemies could one shot me but that just made them more fun. The fusing and cooking means I can do a lot of encounters with only getting hit once by standard mobs and being able to restore to the 4 hearts I had.
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!
I think I took turns between the two until I had about 10 hearts, then did only stamina until it was full. With max stamina, getting to shrines for more hearts is a lot easier.
Hearts first until I get to a point where I start to actually need more Stamina, then I convert my Hearts into Stamina till it’s full. From then on my Stamina is maxed out so everything just goes back into Hearts.
Stamina until 2 full rings, then hearts till 10 hearts, then fill out 3rd ring of stamina
Starting with heart I alternate between the two of them.
