Stamina is a recurring mechanic in The Legend of Zelda series.[1][2]
Overview[]
Skyward Sword[]
Breath of the Wild[]
Stamina is a mechanic in Breath of the Wild. Link can only perform certain actions when he has stamina, including Sprinting, Spin Attacks, Climbing, and using the Paraglider.
Stamina automatically replenishes when not being used, however consuming Energising or Enduring Food or Elixir will speed this process up.
When Link gets exhausted, Link cannot perform any action that requires stamina until the stamina fully recharges. When stamina is upgraded, the refill speed increases so it takes the same amount of time to recharge regardless of the amount of upgrades.
Link begins the game with one wheel of stamina, and can gain two more wheels from collecting a maximum of 10 Stamina Vessels. These can be traded with the Horned Statue in Hateno Village for Heart Containers.
Tears of the Kingdom[]
Tears of the Kingdom's stamina system is identical to that of Breath of the Wild. Link can still trade them with the Horned Statue, but the Statue has moved from Hateno Village to the Royal Hidden Passage.
During Link and Zelda's venture underneath Hyrule Castle, Link's life force is drained by a mysterious force known as Gloom, leaving him with only a fraction of his stamina and health. Stamina Vessels and Heart Containers can be obtained to combat the effects of this curse, restoring Link's lost energy.
The Master Sword can later be found lodged in the head of the Light Dragon. Link can recover it and pull the sword out, but he must first recover five Stamina Vessels.
