Tips for Item Management

Weaken weapons before taking damage: parry or dodge more.

Use shields to block enemy attacks to preserve weapon durability.

Always have a hammer weapon (Boulder Breaker or iron sledgehammer) for ore mining.

Korok Seeds: Prioritize melee weapon slots first (most used).

Save Ancient Arrows for Stalker Guardians or Lynels you cannot fight.

Upgrade Stealth Set early to catch fairies and bugs easily.

Cook hearty items individually to maximize recovery; each cooked hearty durian gives full recovery + 4 temp hearts.

Sell gems only after you have upgraded all armor sets that require them; diamonds are best saved.

Use the Champion's Tunic to see enemy HP – excellent for planning.

This concludes the comprehensive item guide. Happy adventuring!
