Stamina is an essential element to level up when trekking through The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and unfortunately for players, at the start of the game, you’re brought back to square one. This is where acquiring Light of Blessings comes into play.
At the beginning of the story, your swimming, climbing, and gliding will all be heavily impacted by your lack of stamina, so it’s time to ramp it up a touch. As you begin to take on shrines, you’ll be awarded Light of Blessings, after which you’ll have to make the tough decision between increasing your health or your stamina as you progress through the game.
There’ll be plenty of opportunities to increase both your stamina and health, it really comes down to what you need at the time. For those of you who have played Breath of the Wild, you’ll be familiar with this process.
How do I get stamina in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
The Light of Blessings is received after completing things like Shrines in TOTK. Once you have four of these bad boys, you’ll need to head to a Goddess Statue location and choose between health and stamina. Once you’ve inevitably chosen stamina, your green wheel will increase in size, giving you more freedom when traversing the various mountains and lakes of Hyrule.

Another ingenious way of increasing your stamina is by cooking and eating specific meals. These won’t be permanent, but they’ll do the trick if you’re trying to climb your way out of a sticky situation. You can also brew up stamina elixirs by combining monster parts and Restless Crickets at a cooking pot for another temporary way to increase or restore your stamina.
It’s as simple as that. Your green stamina wheel will be running rings around itself in no time. Just make sure you’re completing as many shrines as you can as you play TOTK.
