The Legend of Zelda

I always grinded gathering stamina ingredients so I could eat stamina food before running out.

Don’t be afraid, dying isn’t a big deal with how often the game auto saves

Honestly? The great plateau is one of the most difficult parts of the game. Once you have some good clothes and regain some heart containers you'll feel a lot better. Don't be afraid to take things slow starting off and approach situations strategically, or even avoid combat if you can.

My one tip would be to try flurry rushing! You just have to dodge (side hop or backflip) with good timing and it will often do some good damage and knock that monster down at least.

If fighting out in the open is not your cup of tea, you need to get to the shrines as soon as possible to unlock some very valuable tools. Remember that enemies can see and hear you, so if you want to sneak around encounters, keep an eye on that pink squiggly line for how much noise you are making. And above all else there is no right or wrong way to play this game.

The game is beautiful, cant get over how good it looks and runs on the Switch.

Have you already found out what Koroks are and what they do?
They are hidden throughout the world and are important, and help alleviate the stress a bit when a sword/shield breaks.
There is a character on the road to kakariko, between Twin Peak Stables and Kakariko. Keep an eye out for them.

First off, make sure you're not playing on Master Mode. That's fr peeps who've already besten the game once.

This is a good start, thanks for the info
