Progression

These are the long-term upgrades that change how the game plays: more hearts and stamina, the Master Sword, the ability to recall your own vehicles and a steady supply of rupees. None of them is part of the story route, so you can pursue them in whatever order suits you.

Most of them draw on the same few resources. Lights of Blessing from shrines buy hearts and stamina, and stamina decides when you can pull the Master Sword, so it pays to read the first page before spending anything.

Hearts and Stamina

How to raise your hearts and stamina: trading Lights of Blessing at Goddess Statues and every other source.

  • Each shrine gives one Light of Blessing; four buy a Heart Container or a Stamina Vessel.
  • You start with 3 hearts and 1 stamina wheel; hearts and stamina draw on the same pool of Lights.
  • Where every Goddess Statue is, the hearts you get without trading and the Horned Statue swap.

When to use it: before you spend a Light of Blessing. Open Hearts and Stamina.

Master Sword

How to get the Master Sword from the Light Dragon, what it needs and how it recharges.

  • You need at least two full green stamina wheels to pull it.
  • The quest Recovering the Hero's Sword follows Trail of the Master Sword.
  • It never breaks: when drained it rests and comes back after about ten minutes.

When to use it: once you have the stamina and want the best sword in the game. Open Master Sword.

Autobuild

All 46 Schema Stones and Yiga Schematics and where to get each.

  • 12 Schema Stones come from Steward Constructs in abandoned mines and the Shrine of Resurrection, plus one side adventure.
  • 34 Yiga Schematics sit in treasure chests in the Yiga Hideouts in the Depths.
  • Schematics join your recall list permanently.

When to use it: when you want ready-made vehicles and devices without building them yourself. Open Autobuild.

Rupee Farming

The fastest ways to earn rupees by selling gems and rare monster parts.

  • Diamonds sell for 500 each and a dragon's horn for 300.
  • Farming loops for gem ore, dragon parts, Lynel and Gleeok parts and Blupees.
  • Bargainer Statues pay in Poes, so do not waste Poes on rupees.

When to use it: when you are saving for armor upgrades or horses. Open Rupee Farming.
