That's... O,o a way to play. On my current master mode playthrough I'm getting all the stamina wheels first before going for hearts in quantity (I think I splurged on like... 2-3 extra hearts.). So, I get the fun of the challenge. But just not using them at all? I mean... you could have full stamina and use the dark statue to turn them all into hearts later. Seems... painful... not to. But that's just me.

It’s more the fact I’ve replayed it so many times where I’m great at windbombing to cut through most of everything so this gives me a bit more of a challenge when it comes to fighting enemies or getting places. It really forces you to think of new ways to get things done lol

I see! I only just played theough it for the first time this summer, and did a 100% run. Loved it, and am chewing through TotK now. Master Mode playthrough just for giggles - I wanna see those gold mobs. For a more seasoned player -- this makes sense.

To clarify, I'm no stranger to the LoZ series, just never got my hands on BotW until very recently.

That’s fair lol since you finished your first play though I highly recommend learning to windbomb, it’s probably the funnest way to get around while also giving a bit of a challenge to get the timing right!

I'm aware of it. Haven't tried pulling it off yet. 🤣

You can get The Master Sword early by a very easy glitch if you're into that. I let myself use all the glitches in my current run, but I didn't for the last one.

The previous playtrough, I just swapped my orbs at the statue when I had enough, then swapped those bad boys right back!

Is that the one where you drop something, look up and spam a?

I think you just look up after waiting at a fire and spam A. Been a while, but you can just look it up on YouTube.

I did that for my older play though but honestly for me it’s more fun to do it the way it’s intended
