Stamina plays a crucial role in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, as it determines the limitations of Link's explorative abilities. Sprinting, climbing, and paragliding all consume Stamina. Link can permanently increase his maximum stamina by exchanging Lights of Blessing, which are obtained by completing Shrines. However, players will need to find the right balance when it comes to increasing Link's stamina and maximum heart containers, making it harder to gain a substantial increase in stamina early on.
