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

    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.

    I like stamina to make exploration more comfortable, and you don’t need hearts if you don’t get hit! Of course, I do get hit so after filling out the first stamina wheel I went up to ~10 hearts, then another stamina wheel. I don’t remember what I did in BotW but probably something similar.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    When I first started, I figured that getting better armor and beating dungeons would get me heart containers so I opted for getting a full second stamina wheel first. After I did that, I picked up heart containers until I was at 12 hearts (two dungeon ones and the rest from shrines) before I went for the third stamina wheel. I think it worked out pretty well.

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

    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
