Tips for Beginners

1 Review your in-game settings.
2 Always keep Link’s health at max.
3 Understand the importance of sound.
4 Continue gathering ingredients and cooking them.
5 Pin locations on your map to make landmarks.
6 Keep track of weather changes and wear suitable equipment.

Review your settings

When you initially start the game, go over the settings. If the fundamental controls don’t fit your button preferences, you can alter them. You may also make your mini-map static rather than spinning as you travel.

Always keep Link’s health at max

Maintain Link’s current Hearts health level at 100%. Link’s life gauge begins with 3 hearts. With only three hearts, you can endure non-attribute attacks, but a powerful attribute assault can knock you out.

To avoid sudden death, always retain three hearts in the early stages.

Understand the importance of sound

You will not be able to take down an enemy if you run or make a loud noise. Making noise causes neighboring insects, horses, and other species to run.

You can kneel and stroll gently behind you to create as little noise as possible while unobserved.

The level of the sound you’re making is represented by the purple wavelength in the lower right corner.

Continue gathering ingredients and cooking them

To restore HP, you can consume food that is available across the environment. However, cooking with it will have a greater effect.

In contrast, combining bugs, reptiles, and monster elements will result in failure.

Mix ingredients with the same effect only

Be cautious that ingredients with different effects such as “Stamina Gauge Recovery” and “Heat Resistance Effect” will vanish when you cook them together.

Pin locations on your map to make landmarks.

If you set a pin to a location you wish to visit, it will become a landmark and you will be able to visit it without difficulty.

Before you begin moving, consider pinning where you want to go.

Keep track of weather changes and wear suitable equipment

If you do not take precautions, lightning, heat, cold, and other weather changes will have an adverse effect on Link such as diminishing HP.

In the event of a lightning effect, remove your metal gear and relocate. You can also modify the weather in your current environment as you progress through time.

Master evasion and guarding

You will gain an advantage in battle by learning to evade and guard. You may deliver huge damage in rushes, creating large gaps, and bounce off projectiles if you can dodge and guard correctly.

In all circumstances, timing is critical, so practice evading and guarding on a regular basis.
