As the title says, do you prefer to upgrade hearts or stamina at any given moment?
Hearts take priority
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.
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.
I like stamina first but I keep dying
I might die in one hit, but I can sprint for 10 seconds!
Hearts first. I think you only need 8-10 of them though before you go full stream ahead on stamina until it’s full
Stamina until 2 full rings, then hearts till 10 hearts, then fill out 3rd ring of stamina
I get a second stamina wheel so I can traverse the map, then go all out hearts.
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
