The new Zelda game is incredible<\/a>, and it is also complicated. Breath of the Wild has interlocking systems that enable you to do some incredible things, but you may find yourself overwhelmed when you start. And I\u2019m here to help.<\/p>\n

Before we get into it, a piece of advice: Don\u2019t sell the loot you collect unless you\u2019re sure you don\u2019t need it. You can sell the items you craft, like food or elixirs, but you will have a use for just about anything in your inventory. And you don\u2019t want to sell all your Ancient Shafts only to find out you need them an hour later.<\/p>\n

OK, now let\u2019s get on to the tips.<\/p>\n

Understanding weapon durability<\/h2>\n

Your weapons are going to break. Get used to it.<\/p>\n

Early on, the weapons you find and take from other creatures seem like they are made from balsa wood and built by a blacksmith who hates their job. It\u2019s common for a new spear or sword to crumble after just three fights.<\/p>\n

You can get frustrated with\u00a0this, or you can accept it. The tip here is that you should use this as an opportunity to experiment with different kinds of weapons. And you should also try to hang on to at least one strong weapon in case you come across a more powerful enemy. The strength of the weapon is the number in the box on the inventory screen, and you can tell if a weapon is more or less durable than normal by reading the flavor text on the inventory screen.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, just know that you\u2019ll start regularly getting awesome weapons later on.<\/p>\n

How to get more stamina and more heart containers<\/h2>\n
\"PRAY<\/p>\n

Above: PRAY TO ME!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Breath of the Wild doesn\u2019t have pieces of heart containers hidden around the world, and you won\u2019t get a full container often, either. Instead, you\u2019ll expand your life meter and stamina bar by completing the more than 100 challenge dungeons. Spirits Orbs are standard reward for solving one of the smaller puzzle dungeons, and you can go pray to a goddess statue and select either an extra heart or more stamina after collecting four of them.<\/p>\n

You can find goddess statues in most villages, but you can always find one at the Temple of Time or in the center of Kakariko Village.<\/p>\n

What to do with Korok seeds?<\/h2>\n

Soon after you start, you\u2019ll begin finding little forest spirits called Koroks. They\u2019ll reward you with seeds for uncovering them. You should take those seeds to the river north of the Dueling Peaks Stable. Don\u2019t cross the bridge; instead, walk around the river until you find a giant Korok who is sad about his lost maracas. Follow his quest to get his maracas, and then he will accept your seeds in exchange or expanding your inventory slots.<\/p>\n

Cooking\u00a0101<\/h2>\n

I don\u2019t think you\u2019ll need to download a list of recipes for Breath of the Wild. You could, but I think that\u2019s a waste of time. Instead, you should learn the basic rules of how this system works.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what you should know:<\/p>\n
