I believe you can only expand stamina until you have 3 stamina wheels (so 10 upgrades, essentially). As for hearts, you can only have up to 30.

 

The interesting thing is that you can't technically max both. You can only max one or the other. After some calculations (and including the hearts from the Divine Beasts), you have two possibilities for maxing:

• 30 hearts and 2.4 stamina wheels
• 27 hearts and 3.0 stamina wheels

 

Personally, I'll probably end up choosing the former once I finish every shrine in the game.

I hear you can get stamina and heart upgrades through other means but I've yet to see for myself. But it was definitely a tip on the loading screen.

Not following closely anymore, but if this game is as large and varied as it seems, then maybe it could bring back the old times of discovering secrets through friends- I wonder... (thinking of stories about Z1 secrets being shared about which bush to burn, including bogus advice from tricksters)

My friend took a picture of something kinda inap in the game.
It's actually very odd. Not sure if this picture a fake or not. He sent me it BTW.

Could someone give me the least spoiler-ey hint to help me get through? Maybe some place in game I can visit for a hint? Or is it just trial and error?

I can't say I ever found an in-game hint but here's a vague-ish tip for you to push you in the right direction. Although I don't know how spoiler-ey this is going to be for you since the definition of spoilers changes from one person to another, so open at your own risk:

Careful observation is a crucial key. Not just eyesight. This is far from trial and error and may take you a few tries to notice what Nintendo is trying to tell you.

[MoscowModder]

That sounds moderately helpful and just vague enough. I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Try looking for things that are there but you rarely ever pay attention to. The trees won't help you.

So there's this:

In reply to above

I found that on my own. I saw "Ranch Ruins" and went to investigate, but there was a Guardian there so I didn't stay long. I did notice the tower, which I immediately thought was probably the one from Lon Lon Ranch, but wasn't equipped to deal with the Guardian so I left. Later I came back, killed the Guardian, and explored around... realized the layout was identical to Lon Lon Ranch and immediately got sad.

@Polaris & Dimentio: I got through! Thanks for the pointers!

[Anthus]

I know it's late, but in response to MoscowModder's question about an in game hint (and Polaris too):

there's an ncp at the stable near the woods who gives a really vague hint. I personally just followed the embers in the wind from the torches based on what he said.

Got 90 shrines down. 20 hearts, and almost 3 stamina wheels. Woo.

I'm doing sidequests, they're fun. I want to be productive in this game but I keep just exploring and doing random things that aren't helping progress-wise lol.

That's what you're supposed to do.

The first part involves you obviously following the embers from the lanterns you ignite with the Torch as you progress through the woods, then in the 2nd part they remove the lanterns and expect you to follow the embers from your own Torch (an obvious progression from following the embers of the lanterns). I say these things are obvious because there is an NPC that spells it out pretty clearly as far as I can remember.

 

I don't know if I've said this here already, but in regards to increasing Stamina I hate that you have to wait for ALL of your Stamina to regenerate if it is fully depleted before you can utilize any of it. It would've made way more sense if you either only had to wait until 50% of the Stamina was recovered (scaling wait period) before you can start utilizing it again or if you only had to wait for the first big wheel of Stamina that you start the game with to fully recover (fixed wait period) before you can begin utilizing your Stamina.

 

The way it is handled in the game right now results in increases to Stamina increasing the incentive to never, ever, at any cost, run out of Stamina because increasing your Stamina increases the duration of the wait period before you can do Stamina related things again...

Question about the

Spoiler

Master Sword.  Been told it's a big reference to Zelda 1 in mechanics.  The old Zelda 1 line of "MASTER USING IT AND YOU CAN HAVE THIS," combined with needing to have X number of hearts.  So they're back to this now?  IF you don't have whatever number of hearts, you just can't lift it?  Or do you die, lol.
