All of these are significant improvements to Link’s combat prowess, which means if you’re juggling whether to tackle a divine beast before or after some exploration, it’s useful to take out the big thing first, giving you the power boost.Ī third source of permanent upgrades can be secured from the Ancient Tech labs in the east of Hyrule, using the items dropped by Guardians and found in Shrines.
You’ll get a second tranche of permanent upgrades as you set about finding the divine beasts that form the game’s main questline. If you really need to climb a gigantic cliff, you have the option of pausing the game just as you’re about to fall off, eating a stamina-recovering meal, and continuing upwards. Stamina, on the other hand, always drops steadily.
