Too weak to scramble up those walls? Here are the best recipes for Stamina Boost in Tears of the Kingdom.
Best Recipes for Stamina Boost in Tears of the Kingdom
Well, this ain’t your Dark Souls stamina bar. In The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Link will only utilize the green stamina meter when he runs, swims, glides, or climbs cliffs. Tears of the Kingdom frequently forces you to pick between health and stamina upgrades—and statistically, most players choose one additional heart container.
You can get more stamina by completing shrines in TOTK. You’ll receive Lights of Blessings every time you do, which you can then exchange at any Goddess Statue you come across. It costs four Lights of Blessing to upgrade either stamina or health by one.
Though stamina is crucial, as you will frequently discover during the game when you plummet down from the cliff you were attempting to ascend or from the sky when your Glider simply stops operating mid-flight. Even though your stamina meter is small, there are ways to quickly recover it by eating food that replenishes stamina.
Here are some of the best stamina-replenishing recipes in TOTK; as you will notice, they are either high-energy critters or mushrooms and fish with names that suggest that they have a stamina-boosting effect—the trick, of course, is to prepare them properly.
The stamina recipes below are ranked in order of effectiveness, with the best being listed first.
- Energizing Seafood Skewer: Bright Eyed Crabs x 5 (Will give three Stamina rings + 10 hearts).
- Enduring Fried Wild Greens: Endura Carrots x 5 (The best stamina recipe, temporarily adds two additional Stamina rings).
- Energizing Mushroom Skewer: Stamella Mushrooms x 5.
- Energizing Fish Skewer: Staminoka Bass x 2 (Two will give two Stamina rings refills, cook more for better effect).
