How to get more Hearts and Vigor in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom

How to Increase Link’s Hearts and Stamina in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Link’s maximum Hearts and Vigor in Tears of the Kingdom are upgraded like in Breath of the Wild : by obtaining Heart Containers and Vigor Containers . Each completed Shrine rewards us with a Luminous Orb , and with every four Luminous Orbs we can obtain a Heart or Vigor upgrade at the Goddess Statues . In other words: every four Shrines we complete can earn us a Life upgrade or a Stamina upgrade .
These are the two possible options for Link’s upgrade at the Goddess Statues:
- Heart Container : Increases the number of Hearts by one. That is, for every four Shrines completed and Luminous Orbs obtained, we can obtain one Heart.
- Vigor Container : Increases the stamina gauge. For every four Shrines completed and Luminous Orbs obtained, one-fifth of a circle of stamina can be obtained.
In addition to the Luminous Orbs from Shrines, we will also obtain Heart Containers by completing some Main Quests .
Is it better to upgrade Hearts or Stamina first in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?
You’ve probably wondered if it’s better to have more Hearts or more Vigor in Tears of the Kingdom . The answer to this question is both. However, we’re considering two possible scenarios regarding the order in which to improve Link :
- If you’re not good at playing, it means you don’t know how to dodge or deal with enemies, so we recommend upgrading Link’s Hearts first , without neglecting his Stamina. A good balance would be, for example, one Stamina upgrade for every two Hearts .
- If you’re a veteran player , then you can focus on Stamina first … but without neglecting Hearts. Getting one Heart Container for every two Stamina is a good balance. Keep in mind that the more Stamina you have, the easier it will be to explore and make many challenges and Shrines a piece of cake, which in turn allows you to get more Luminous Orbs and upgrade Link faster.
How many Hearts and how many Circles of Vigor can Link have in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom?
By collecting all the Heart Containers and Vigor Containers we can fully upgrade Link, although we will not be able to fully upgrade both Hearts and Vigor at the same time because there are not enough containers .
We will have to choose to raise the Hearts or the Vigor to the maximum :
- Maximum Hearts: 40 Hearts.
- Maximum vigor: 3 circles.
